CollectA Plastic Animals | Toys Roxy The Right Whale

Description

Right Whale Size: 24.7cm x 4.3cm Fun Facts: The name “Right Whale” stems from a time when hunting for whales was still not prohibited. They were just the “right” (ideal) whales to be hunted as their body contains much of the valuable blubber. Also, after slaying the animal, the body would float on the water, making it easy for the whaler to process the meat. Nicely carved out in the CollectA model are the roughened patches of skin on its head. They are characteristic for a Right Whale: having distinctive callosities on its head. The callosities appear white due to large colonies of cyamids (whale lice). Why do we love CollectA We love CollectA as these miniatures can be used in creative, open-ended and small world play. They are a brilliant tool and resource for early learning educators as well for homeschooling, preschools and playrooms. We love that they help to bring awareness to endangered species and highlight the need to our little ones, about the importance of protecting our environment for our animal kingdom. We also LOVE that they have the BIGGEST collection of dinosaurs and prehistoric animals of any toy manufacturer!  Suitable for ages 3+ years
