Whale Toy Pikitote

This big mammal is seriously in trouble.

Whales can live over 150 years, and have a slow reproducing cycle. That makes them very vulnerable to population oscillations or even collapse.

Whaling and overfishing together is an heavy lift and will drown all the ecosystem.

Blue whales, the biggest animal ever existed, have still not recovered from being hunted to the brink of extinction.

I hope this toy will remind how gentle those mammals are, and how much we need to preserve them as much all the ecosystem that keep us alive.

This toy have moving parts.
Print this toy at once. No assambly needed. Don't had any supports or it wont work properly.
