This tree-dwelling creature grows up to 14 inches long (bushy tail included). It hides food around its home (in "caches"), and uses its excellent sense of smell to find them again when winter comes and food is scarce. The Wild Safari North American Wildlife series was designed for the hands of the smaller child. Each figure is finely hand painted and sculpted by experts which ensures authenticity. By providing educational information in five languages, we encourage the awareness of these endangered wild animals and their habitats throughout the world.
