Wonders Of The Wild Coelacanth Dx Figure

From Star Ace Toys. The newest entry in Star Ace's Wonders of the Wild series of ancient animals is the Coelacanth, a fish that has existed for 400 million years! Once thought to have been wiped out with the dinosaurs, living examples have been found recently. Living up to 100 years and growing to 2 meters in length, the Coelacanth can be found in waters off Africa and Indonesia. The beautiful statue of this living fossil features a hand-painted deco based on recent photos of the live fish. This polyresin statue is 11" long and is mounted to an environment base with a name plate identifying the scientific name and habitat. The Deluxe set includes a sculpted replica of the fossil of the Coelacanth as it was found by paleontologists. The fossil replica is also available separately.
