Safari Ltd. Daeodon Figurine - 5.25 Plastic Model Figure - Educational Prehistoric Toy for Kids 3+

The Daeodon, a Prehistoric Hoofed Mammal Resembling a Pig

TERRIBLE PIG: Daeodon, once known as Dinohyus, meaning "Terrible Pig," was an entelodont - a group of prehistoric hoofed mammals that bore a striking resemblance to pigs. This imposing creature had a massive head that could measure up to three feet in length, and it was an omnivore, consuming both plants and other animals.

INTERESTING DISCOVERY: Discovered in 1878 by the renowned paleontologist Edward Drinker Cope, Daeodon was not classified as an entelodont until three decades later. Over time, several other genera, including Dinohyus, were eventually incorporated into the Daeodon genus.

MADE WITH INDUSTRY-LEADING STANDARDS: This Daeodon figurine, like all Safari Ltd products, has been meticulously hand-painted and constructed using high-quality, phthalate and lead-free materials. Each figurine comes with an educational hang tag in five languages, ensuring a comprehensive and informative experience.

REALISTIC APPEARANCE FOR MULTIPLE USES: Realistic, educational, and fun, this Daeodon figurine is suitable for a wide range of interests, from collectors and enthusiasts to teachers and children. It can be displayed on a shelf, used in the classroom, or simply enjoyed through playful exploration.

PRODUCT SPECIFICATIONS: The Daeodon figure measures 5 inches long and 3 inches tall, roughly the size of an index card. Its mane, hooves, and tail tip are a dark brown, while its color fades from a deeper shade above to a lighter brown below. The creature's chin is white, and its formidable teeth are off-white, protruding from its open, pink mouth.
