Animal Product Descriptions at The Science Store - Product Descriptions Animals are the subject of a great many products and it is often difficult to identify exactly what something may be. They have been carefully designed and finished to accurately represent an animal, thus giving it considerable educational value, and, they are generally of a much higher quality than that found in animal toys. All are suitable for display and some rival the lower and middle grade miniatures and collectibles. There are many levels of quality.
Quality can be as outstanding and some companies produce limited editions of their work.
Generally, price is a good indicator of quality. The artist has gone beyond simply creating a miniature reproduction of the animal, he or she has created a personal interpretation of it. Such interpretations can range from showing only part of the animal or incorporating it into a unique context.
