GRIFFIN SAFARI

Recommended for ages 4+

Combining the head, wings, and talons of the majestic eagle with the body, legs, and tail of the powerful lion, the

Griffin

is truly the king of all mythical beasts. Known for wisdom and power, the

Griffin

plays a role in mythologies throughout the ancient world.

Scientific Name:

Gryphus

Characteristics: With its bronze and gold coloring and active pose, this

Griffin

looks like it’s ready to pounce.

Griffins

were solitary beasts, both feared and respected.

Size and Color: From the feathery texture of its wings to the pointy ends of its claws, the

Griffin

figure exudes realism. The

Griffin

is 4½ inches long and 4 inches wide from wingtip to wingtip.

History: Despite its fantastical appearance, the

Griffin

’s history is rooted in a believable tale. Myths tell of this eagle-lion hybrid guarding hordes of gold, much like dragons. History tells us that skeletons of the dinosaur Pentaceratops, itself a creature with a powerful body, sharp claws and a beaked face, have been discovered near gold veins. Perhaps those bones were mistaken for those of a

Griffin

long ago.
