Safari Ltd. | King Vulture | Wings of the World Collection | Toy Figurines for Boys & Girls

The King Vulture is a large bird found in Central and South America. Like all New World vultures, it is a scavenger that feeds mostly on carrion, and features a head mostly lacking in feathers to make it easier to keep clean as it feeds. The King Vulture is noteworthy for its striking, brightly colored head, which features vibrant hues like orange, red and yellow. The naturalist William Bartram described a very similar bird during his travels to Florida in the late 1700s. This bird, called the "Painted Vulture", is not known from any other accounts, and it's still unknown whether Bartram had encountered a Florida population of King Vultures, or a new species entirely. Like all Safari Ltd products, this figurine has been individually hand painted, features quality construction from phthalate and lead-free 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 measures just about 4 3/4 inches from wing tip to wing tip. It's just under 3 inches high and about 2 3/4 inches from its beak to the tip of its tail, about the size of a small index card. Our King Vulture figure features the bird's distinctive white and black plumage, as well as the unique pinks, reds, oranges and yellows seen on its bald head.
