This 1000-piece jigsaw puzzle titled “Wild Africa” is based on the artwork of Eric Dowdle. Africa is calling you to the wild! Step into the wide savannah plains or climb a Baobab tree and you'll find creatures you know, like giraffes, elephants, lions, and more, and even a few new ones along the way. Eric Dowdle was born the tenth of 12 children to a family of storytellers. He has traveled the world to discover fascinating people and places to include in his art. Each Dowdle puzzle has a colorful story to tell. Every Buffalo Games jigsaw puzzle is manufactured from recycled puzzle board. A precision cutting technique guarantees that every piece will fit soundly with the company's signature Perfect Snap™. A bonus puzzle poster is also included so that you have a handy reference of what the completed puzzle should look like while you put yours together.
