Safari Ltd. Giant Squid Figurine - Realistic, Hand-Painted 18" Model Figure - Educational Toy For Boys, Girls & Kids Ages 3+

These "monsters" baffle scientists.Books and movies portray giant squid as menacing monsters of the deep, but we actually know very little about how these fascinating creatures live. We do know what eats them: their beaks show up in the stomachs of beached sperm whales (whose skin is often scarred by battles with the squid). The giant squid still remain a deep-sea mystery, never yet seen alive in their natural habitat. Stunning scale model ocean replicas expertly sculpted with the collaboration of the scientists of the Monterey Bay Aquarium in Monterey, California. This unique colletion of ocean creatures are found in the waters off the coast of the Half Moon Bay which is where the aquarium is located. It is approximately 100 miles south of San Francisco. The mission of the aquarium is to foster ocean conservation and protect it and its sea dwellers throughout the world. Safari shares this commitment with them.
