Found throughout the tropical waters of the Indian and Pacific Ocean, the zebra shark is a species of carpet shark that can grow up to 8 feet long. As its name implies, it can be identified by the striped pattern that runs along its body. Scientific Name: Stegostoma fasciatum. Characteristics: Despite their size, zebra sharks are incredibly docile and only one unprovoked attack on a human has ever been recorded. Individually hand painted and professionally sculpted, our zebra shark model brings the open ocean right to your living room! Size and Color: Zebra sharks are a beige color with dark brown spots and stripes, and the stripes fade as the mature. 4.75" long and 2" tall, this model is a touch smaller than a soda can on its side. The Zebra Shark is part of the Wild Safari® Sea Life collection. All of our products are Non-toxic and BPA free.
