This figure is an excellent educational tool, helping children learn about the world's biodiversity and the fascinating creatures that make up Earth's long history. Part of the Wild Safari® Prehistoric World collection, the Coelacanth fits seamlessly among a diverse range of ancient creatures.

Coelacanth Figurine opens a portal to ancient marine life.
