CollectA Sea Life Manatee Toy Figure - Authentic Hand Painted Model

How did Christopher Columbus mistake a manatee for a mermaid? As you examine CollectA's lifelike Manatee, you probably won't spot a resemblance to a mythical fish-tailed woman. But you may be captivated by this unusual creature's placid expression. Manatees live in slow-moving water, feeding on small fish and underwater plants. Like all aquatic mammals, they have to surface in order to breathe. The Manatee figure is detailed and realistic, a perfect addition to your child's collection.
