Product Description A type of houndshark, the leopard shark can be found all along the Pacific coast of North America and Mexico. Although they are relatively small in comparison to many types of requiem shark, they can still grow to be five feet long. Individually hand painted and sculpted, our leopard shark figurine makes a clever and thoughtful gift for a nature lover! The next best thing to delving into the open ocean, our sea life models bring our planet’s watery wildlife right to you! 5.5 inches long and 1.25 inches tall, this model is about as long as a soda can on its side and is a bit shorter than a stick of lip balm stood upright. As their name suggests, leopard sharks have dark spots and silver or bronze-coloured skin on the upper side of their body. Leopard sharks pose no threat to humans, and only one encounter has been recorded in the last century. The current population trend of the leopard shark is unknown, although they are defined as a species of least concern by the International Union for the Conservation of Nature. They are sometimes caught by commercial fisheries and recreational fishers, but it is unknown if such activities have a strong effect on their global population. Safety Warning not appropriate for children under the age of 3 Box Contains 1 x WS Leopard Shark Figurine
