## Overview

This Safari Ltd. Macrauchenia figurine is a 5-inch, hand-painted, phthalate, lead, and BPA-free collectible that brings to life a unique Ice Age mammal discovered by Charles Darwin. Perfect for collectors, educators, and kids aged 3+, it combines scientific accuracy with artistic detail and includes an educational hangtag in five languages.

## Description

The strangelooking Macrauchenia seems like a cross between a llama and an elephant. It lived in South America during the last Ice Age roughly 10,000 years ago. The nostrils of Macrauchenia are situated on the top of its skull, suggesting that it likely possessed a short trunk. Recent studies into Macrauchenia samples have found that they are hoofed animals. The first fossils were discovered by Charles Darwin in Patagonia in 1834 and were incorrectly assumed to be a type of Mastodon. Darwin was not an expert on the subject of paleontology, so it wasn't until the remains were examined by Sir Richard Owen that the animal was described more accurately as a slender, llamalike animal. Like all Safari Ltd products, this figurine has been individually hand painted, features quality construction from phthalate and leadfree materials, and includes an educational hangtag in 5 languages. Realistic, educational, and fun, this figurine is suitable for a range of interests, including collectors, enthusiasts, teachers, and kids. Admire it on a shelf, use it in the classroom, or simply enjoy playing with it. This figure is 5 inches long and 3

Review: Impressive - 2018 Safari Ltd. Macrauchenia This figure is quite lovely. It captures the essence of the animal perfectly, and is beautifully sculpted. The hair flows naturally all across the animal. The long, slender neck cranes up, and ever so slightly to the left. It really does resemble the wild llamas called Guanaco. The ears are alert, and sculpted in a rounded shape, much more like a deer than the longer ears of a llama. The trunk is a decent length, and the nostrils are sculpted into the end. Safari even included the small, finger-like tip that elephants have at the ends of their trunks. However, the trunk is sculpted hairless, so it lacks the hair detail found elsewhere. This entire area appears rather smooth, and lacking in finer textures. The mouth is slightly open, and the teeth are sculpted and painted. The interior of the mouth is sculpted, but is unfortunately not painted. That’s understandable, as it is an incredibly tiny area. The paint is well applied, and very naturalistic. It appears the main inspiration is the Guanaco. The face features a dark stripe that runs from the ear, across the glossily painted eye, and down toward the trunk. It strongly resembles the face markings of a gazelle. The legs are painted with a dark brown, as is the tail, and the hoofed toes are painted a grey color. It all blends together beautifully, and makes this figure look very much like a living animal. If you are a fan of prehistoric mammals, this figure is a must buy. While it does have some minor flaws, this is a fantastic addition to anyone’s prehistory collection.
Review: Bella y perfecta figura, a tiempo y bien empacada. - Bella y muy bien detallada figura de un herbívoro del Cenozoico, anatómicamente muy bien representado, con vivo colorido, con una actitud de alerta ante algún depredador, su escala combina perfecto con otras figuras de esta línea para completar un escenario. Muy contento con la figura. Llegó muy puntual.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great! Ears are a bit fragile.
*by M***A on 30 March 2020*

It’s a really nice figure and definitely one of my favorites. It has an awesome paint job! It’s the perfect addition to my collection of prehistoric animals. Like on of the other reviews said, the ears are very fragile and one of the ears came broken in the bag. I still give 5 stars because I think it’s still a great figure but I think it would be nice to strengthen the ears a little.
