FREE: Mangrove Dragon Egg

The listing, Mangrove Dragon Egg has ended.

"Mangrove dragons (colloquially called "marsh dragons", or "swampies") are a rare and reclusive species, scattered among the marshes of the world. Their name derives from the species of tree they frequently lay their eggs in, as discovered by Dr. A. Amsel - though not every member of the species actually prefers the mangrove tree.

Mangrove dragons mate once every five years, producing single- or double-egg clutches scattered about the wetlands where they make their homes. The eggs are generally small, about 10 cm long at the largest, and are positioned in such a way that the long filament strand positioned at the top of the egg (called an "acurus", plural acuri) holds it in a steady position -where, at low tide, it is exposed to air, and at high tide, it is partially or completely submerged." - guide excerpt

Our intrepid explorers managed to find some of these rare eggs that were unhatched, and are offering them for you to take home and look after! Each egg comes with an emailed .pdf file that gives a background of the species and contains field notes drawn by Dr. Amsel themself. We hope you enjoy having a new fantastic addition to your home!


(NOTE: These are not real eggs. They are crocheted out of LionBrand yarn and stuffed with polyfill stuffing. They are soft toys, and good for children with active imaginations (or adults with active imaginations, too). The .pdf guide on Mangrove dragons will be emailed to you with the shipping confirmation of the actual item.)
