Coelacanth (Safari)

Meet the Coelacanth, a 'living fossil' that has fascinated scientists and marine enthusiasts alike! Thought to have gone extinct 66 million years ago, the Coelacanth surprised the world when it was rediscovered alive in 1938, swimming deep in the waters off South Africa. These ancient fish have been around for over 400 million years, making them one of the oldest known species still in existence today.

The Coelacanth is easily recognized by its lobed fins, unique blue-and-white pattern, and large, fleshy body. Unlike most fish, it moves its paired fins in an alternating pattern, resembling the gait of a walking animal. This remarkable creature provides a window into the evolution of vertebrates, sharing characteristics with the early ancestors of land animals.

Now, you can bring this incredible survivor into your collection with Safari’s Coelacanth toy, measuring 5.5 inches long. This detailed and lifelike model captures the distinctive features of the Coelacanth, from its textured scales to its expressive eyes. Perfect for education, play, or display, this toy is a wonderful way to celebrate one of nature's greatest comeback stories!
