Real animals, reimagined plump and cheerful — painted in lifelike detail, sculpted impossibly cute.

Chubby & Full of Character

Rounded, soft and undeniably cute — yet every scale, wrinkle and marking is hand-painted true to the real animal. The reaction it gets in person is always the same: so detailed, and so adorable.

Ready to Display

A single, sturdy hand-painted piece — no assembly, no fuss. Set it on a desk or shelf and it holds its happy pose, ready to collect and show off.

A tropical member of the box-turtle family, the Yucatan box turtle roams the dry forests of Mexico’s Yucatan Peninsula. Its high, rounded shell is patterned with fine radiating lines — a southern cousin to the familiar box turtles of the United States.

A Southern Cousin

Living far south of most box turtles, the Yucatan form is adapted to the seasonal tropical forests of the Yucatan Peninsula — a reminder of how widely this turtle family ranges.

A Finely Lined Shell

Its tall, domed shell carries delicate radiating lines and markings, a subtle, elegant pattern that this plump figure shows off nicely.

The Box-Turtle Shelter

Like all its relatives it can fold up inside its hinged shell for protection — a portable fortress carried through the tropical forest floor.

A Seasonal Forager

It times much of its activity to the rains, foraging for fruit, fungi and small prey when the dry forest comes briefly to life — here rounded into a plump figure.

“A tropical box turtle from the forests of the Yucatan.”
