Popular Great White Shark is Back in Stock!


We've been without this popular plastic squeeking/squirting great white shark toy, and we're happy to say it's back in stock for summer fun! Click on the picture or on the links below to find "big mouth"!

Our Great White Shark


This engaging-looking plastic Great White Shark replica is made of flexible plastic. It is 9 inches long, partially hollow and it has a squeaker, but does not squirt. It floats on its side. The color is semi-gloss gray and white and has a red detailed mouth with distinct teeth. Our great white shark miniature has a concerned expression but promises not to bite, if you trust it! This great white replica makes an interesting pet, gag or gift and fits nicely into a shoebox diorama for a school project. Check out our other great white shark toys and gifts.

About Great White Sharks


The great white shark Carcharodon carcharias can be found is usually about 9 feet in length, but adults may be as much as 16 feet. They weigh around 2,000 pounds. It lives near the surface in warmer waters of the Pacific, the Caribbean, and along the coast of Africa. Some sharks follow the migration of sea lions, which they find a most tasty prey. The great white has a large conical-shaped snout, agray dorsal fin and a mottled white underside. Great white sharks, like many other sharks, have rows of teeth behind the main ones, allowing any that break off to be rapidly replaced. A great white shark's teeth are serrated and when the shark bites it will shake its head side to side and the teeth will act as a saw and tear off large chunks of flesh. Great whites often swallow their own broken off teeth along with chunks of their prey's flesh.

Our White Rhino Figurine Gets a Beautiful Makeover


This realistic white rhino replica has just become more lifelike than ever. Safari, Ltd., the manufacturer of our popular rhino toy, has been updating the look of many of their animals to give them even stronger characteristics of the real animals. This rhino - one of our favorites - has just had its makeover. You can hardly miss the lifelike qualities of its horns, face, and wonderfully folded skin. The color, too, has been improved.

Our White Rhino Plastic Model


Our plastic rhinoceros is made of solid plastic by Safari, Ltd., one of the best names in plastic animals, its superior design and details make it a museum-quality replica or collector's item, and yet the price puts it in range for the average collector of plastic animals. This sturdy, durable rhino is also excellent for use in school projects, dioramas, or even as a children's toy. The words "White Rhino" are embossed on the underside. Each rhinoceros comes with an informational tag in French, Italian, Spanish, German, and English. Come see our unique selection of rhino toys and gifts!

About White Rhinos


The second largest of all land animals, the white rhino is about 5 feet tall at the shoulder, up to 13 feet long and can weigh over 2 tons. The shade trees, water holes and mud wallows of grassy savannas are their preferred territory. White rhinos are actually gray in color. They were called "weit" (Dutch for wide) because of their wide, square muzzle, which is perfect for grazing. They have two horns on their long face, carry their head low and have a nuchal hump on their neck containing the muscles needed to lift their heavy heads. However, because of this hump, white rhinos can't swim. The rhino's front horn can grow to at least 3 1/2 feet, but the rear usually only reaches about 22 inches. The "horn" is really just thickly matted hair that grows from the skull with no skeletal support. Like our hair and fingernails, their horns are continuously growing.
