The realistic rendering of the spiny skin and pronounced head spines helps highlight the typical features of the horned lizard and makes the figurine a great educational and collector’s item.
The model is created in a natural stance with a refined body pattern that enhances the realistic impression during play and when displayed in a cabinet.
The figurine is suitable for children from 3 years and supports learning through play – getting to know desert species, their defensive strategies, and lifestyle.
The horned lizard is a fascinating lizard that can resemble a toad in appearance – it has spiny skin and prominent spines on its head. In the wild, it usually occurs in dry open landscapes and can partially burrow. This Safari Ltd. figurine faithfully captures its typical body shape and surface structure.
The horned lizard has spiny scales and 10 to 12 spines behind the head, which help protect it from smaller predators (especially snakes). Its coloration can change depending on the environment to camouflage itself – mainly from its prey, ants, which it can quickly catch with a sticky tongue. When threatened, it can even shoot “bloody tears.”
