Safari Ltd. White Buffalo Figurine - Detailed 6" Plastic Model Figure - Fun Educational Play Toy for Boys, Girls & Kids Ages 3+

As is the case with many colour variations in animals, the white buffalo is not its own species and is instead an American bison that has been born with unique white fur. White buffalos are very rare, and it’s estimated that they occur in 1 out of every 10,000,000 births. Painted and sculpted by hand by our professional artists, all Safari figurines feature the same immaculate craftsmanship and attention to detail that you’ve come to expect. Encountering a white buffalo is extremely rare and unlikely, so count yourself lucky! Like its name suggests, the white buffalo has a gorgeous pearlescent white coat. 5 inches long and 3 inches wide, this figurine is about the size of a soda can resting on its side. Given the importance of buffalos in Native American culture, it’s no surprise that the white buffalo was considered a spiritually significant and important animal. If a white buffalo was spotted or found, Native American abstained from killing it and instead visited it for prayer as well as other religious rituals. When you hold this beautiful animal in the palm of your hand, you just might understand why some cultures held it in such high regard!
