They typically reach sizes of 23 feet, and are one of three known species of shark that feeds entirely on plankton. Basking sharks can be found in the coastal waters of the Atlantic and Pacific oceans – and thanks to this figurine, in your living room! Individually sculpted and hand painted, this model makes a wonderful gift for even the pickiest nature enthusiast! 5.75 inches long and 2.25 inches tall, our basking shark model is about the same size as a soda can resting on its side. Basking sharks have greyish-brown backs with lighter coloured undersides. Sadly, basking sharks have recently been classified as vulnerable by the International Union for the Conservation of Nature. Historically, basking sharks were heavily fished for food, fishmeal, leather, and oil. While there have since been regulations put in place to curb over fishing, their population numbers have not been able to rebound and they are believed to still be decreasing. Set Contains: 1 x WS Sea Life Basking Shark Figurine Review: All of these Safari Ltd shark toys are awesome! We bought a couple from a local aquarium for our shark fanatic 3 year old. They have a durable coat of paint, anatomically accurate, and extant durable. I hadn't tried it, but I'm sure you run over one of these with your mini van and it would hold its shape. Currently, they're being used as dive retrieval toys at the pool. Definitely worth the buy.
