Introduction of the Safari Ltd. Kermode Bears, an intricately hand-painted figure that brings Canada's unique wildlife right into your hands. Also known as Spirit Bear, this subspecies of the American black bear is found only in Canada and is revered in the folk sagas and cultural traditions of British Columbia, where it is recognized as an official provincial animal. In contrast to appearances, Kermode bears are neither albino nor related to polar bears. Their unique white fur is due to a special gene reserved exclusively for this subspecies. Researchers suggest that this signature coloration helps them catch at night as their light coat combined with sunlight makes them less noticeable to marine life. Our Kermode bear model is beautifully crafted and painted by professionals, accentuating the shy gait and characteristic appearance of the bear. With a length of 4.5 inches and a height of 2.5 inches, this figure is ideal for educational purposes, creative play or as a unique addition to a wildlife collection. This Kermode bear figurine is part of the Wild Safari® North American Wildlife Collection, a series that celebrates the diversity of North American animals. Made from durable, non-toxic, BPA-free PVC, our products provide safe and educational play for children aged 3 and up. Safari Ltd. is dedicated to creating toys that promote learning and creativity while providing endless fun.
