This little guy is adorable. He fits right into my decor in my "saloon," aka "sun room," which is decorated like a western, tropical saloon. He is just the right size; not too big, not too small. The pose within which he is preserved is precious; low profile, which makes him kinda' puffy and fluffy. The detail is beautiful. I mean, if you spotted him on the beach, you'd take a second look -- he's that real in appearance. I love this little guy. He gives me a smile every time I pass him by -- and I give him a pat on his head. If you're thinkin' about purchasing this pelican, you won't be disappointed. He's quite special!
