Safari LTD Moray Eel - Good Luck Minis

Great White Sharks range throughout the world’s oceans, but they are most prevalent in warmer waters. They grow to nearly 20 feet long, which adds to the sometimes negative publicity they receive. As apex predators, they are essential to their ecosystems. History: Sharks are considered Threatened because of the many challenges they face in the wild. Although data show they are not the vicious killers of Hollywood fame, old prejudices remain.

History: Although other ocean dwellers face population declines, Cownose Rays are one species that is thriving and increasing in numbers. Their next of kin includes Manta Rays, Bat Rays, and Spotted Eagle Rays, but Cownose Rays are a separate species.

The common Octopus lives in coastal waters as far north as the British Isles and as far south as the Cape of Good Hope in southern Africa. It makes life very difficult for predators with its ability to alter its appearance to match surroundings. History: An Octopus, despite being very slow moving, is not easy to catch. Its first line of defense is camouflage, the ability to match the colors of its surroundings. Secondary defenses include an inky spray that fills the water and makes pursuit difficult.

Hermit Crabs just love their shells. But they don’t get attached, because as they grow, the soft-bellied crabs need to swap out their borrowed homes for new shells, allowing a smaller crab to take the used abode. This real estate bargain takes place in coastal waters worldwide. History: Crabs predate dinosaurs - they’ve survived several mass extinctions and continue to flourish today. The group to which crabs belong, crustaceans, stretches back to the early Cambrian period, a time when the vast majority of phyla existing today first made their appearance.

The Pufferfish isn’t just another pretty fish. Its ability to take in water and quickly grow to several times its normal size is a necessary defense mechanism, allowing the slow-moving and awkward swimmer to scare off predators instead of attempting to flee. History: For years, beautiful geometric designs on the seafloor off the coast of Japan both astounded and mystified scientists. They were the ocean equivalent of crop circles, and their genesis was just as mysterious. It turns out that the culprit, or creator, was a brand new species of pufferfish, the white-spotted pufferfish!

Alligators are easy to recognise because the teeth in their lower jaw are not visible from the side. The alligator is a dangerous predator with exceptionally strong jaw muscles. Only the white shark can bite harder than him. The interesting thing: Only the muscles that close the jaws are extremely strong. The muscles that open the snout are so weak that they can be closed with simple tape. Compared to the saltwater crocodile, alligators are smaller and much wider. They live only in rivers and lakes in the south-eastern part of the United States and China.

Gigantic Killer Whales are actually members of the Dolphin family, and, like Dolphins, they use echolocation to seek prey as they hunt in groups of up to 40 animals. Although they prefer cold, polar waters, their range is worldwide. History: Studies of Killer Whales, also called Orcas, have revealed a number of surprising tidbits about these lethal sea mammals. Tracking studies have found that Killer Whales have a nearly worldwide range. Behavioral studies have revealed a variety of cooperative techniques, including herding fish and massed attacks on larger prey.

Tortoises are members of the turtle clan who spend most of their time primarily on land. Some tortoises are among the longest living animals and can live to over 150 years old! History: Tortoises are turtles that spend most of their time on dry land, rather than in or near water like terrapins or sea turtles. They usually have high-backed shells and large thick limbs. As the popular fable “The Tortoise and the Hare” depicts, many tortoises are quite slow-moving. They are also quite slow aging, and have one of the longest lifespans of any vertebrate.

Hedgehogs are small, shrew-like mammals whose fur has evolved into tiny spines that protect the hedgehog from predators. If threatened, the hedgehog will curl up into a ball to protect areas without spines: namely its face, feet, and underbelly. History: Hedgehogs are relatively ancient mammals, having changed very little in 15 million years. The word “Hedgehog” refers to the animal’s pig-like nose, and the fact that it’s often found in rows of hedges. Hedgehogs are popular pets, but can be difficult to care for and some U.S. states do not allow domesticated Hedgehogs.
