For 2011, Safari Ltd. introduces a new "King of the Wild" to compliment our current lion family. Once common throughout the Middle East and Asia, the lion is the tallest of all the big cats standing up to 4 ft. at the shoulder and weighing up to 600 lbs. The majesty and feline grace of the lion has been authentically captured in this 5.5” L x 3” H figure. This lion figure is hand-painted and is phthalate and lead free and meets or exceeds all safety standards. Includes educational information in 5 languages. Appropriate for ages 3+.
