That shape is why it works on a windowsill, in a terrarium or on top of a stack of books where a standing animal would not.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLies flat, cannot tip.\u003c\/strong\u003e An almost square footprint with the flippers spread wide.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSmallest single figure.\u003c\/strong\u003e Under four inches in both directions.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShell painted in range.\u003c\/strong\u003e Light brown through to red rather than one flat tone.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHead is oversized.\u003c\/strong\u003e Sculpted large on purpose, which is the species marker.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eFlat Instead of Standing\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eStanding figures need a level surface and a clear footprint. A flat one needs neither, which quietly makes this the easiest piece in the range to place. \u003cstrong\u003eIt will sit on a sloping sill, inside a planted tank or on an uneven pile of books without a moment's worry\u003c\/strong\u003e, and it is the one to hand a small child in a car.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy the Head Looks Too Big\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt is meant to. A loggerhead's skull is enormous relative to its body because it houses the jaw muscle the animal uses to crush conch and clam shells. Anything that looks out of proportion here is the sculpt being accurate rather than the sculpt being off.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWater and Paint\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe plastic itself is unbothered by water, so a tank or a bathroom shelf is fine.
