Product Description

It's the only species of the genus and family Lipotes Lipotidae. The illegal practice of electric fishing and habitat loss, have determined its exponential decrease up to make the species at high risk of extintion if not virtually exint. Size - 7.8" x 3.9" x 2.3"

Additional Info
The LAST toys are designed specifically for children with the intention of bringing awareness to the extinction of animals that have disappeared or are disappearing due to men's wrong behavior. Traditional techniques and craftsmanship were used to tell the life story of three animals that are characterized by fantastic names and form which are also highly representative for the project.
