| This is one of our new coconuts for the Wildlife Series, which showcases various animals in the African Jungle, Mountains, and plains. All our coconut art is done in entirely real coconut, prepared and decorated by hand and made to last as a life time souvenir. The pics, (as good as they are) do not do them justice, believe me! You'll be very surprised at how they look once you've seen them in person.  Each is carefully hand engraved by a master coconut artist of New Orleans, Louisiana. Your souvenir is numbered and sold with an Artist signed certificate of authenticity. Each one in the Wildlife Series comes in a zebra themed tissue lined box, with care instructions. You can't help but notice the highly polished hand rubbed finish. Each is carefully engraved and sanded to bring out the true beauty of the mahogany like deep brown grain of the nut. This engraving is that of an African Lion, one of the many animals in the African wild.
 Lions have a broad face, rounded ears, and a relatively short neck. Male lions have a mane, which varies in color. It usually is a silverish-grey or a yellowish-red. The darker the mane the older the lion. Captive lions are known to have longer and fuller manes than wild lions. The underside of males is a buff color, while the females' underside is whitish in color. Both sexes have sharp retractable claws on each paw and powerful shoulders, which they use to bring down their prey. Hinge-like jaws containing 5 centimeter canines also aid the lion in hunting and catching their prey.
Lions are carnivores; their diet consists of a variety of meats ranging from small insects to large herbivores such as giraffes. The lionesses are the hunters in the pride, hunting either in the morning or at night. Packs of lionesses form within a single pride. The lionesses hide in small groups to ambush their prey. As soon as one of the lionesses spot the prey and is in position, she begins her attack. by sinking her teeth into the neck area of the prey and cutting off the air supply. Some prey animals are so large that as the lioness anchors her teeth into the neck, other lionesses come and start biting the animal. Soon it is helpless and can do nothing. Lions can run up to 60 kilometers per hour (30 mph), and they tackle prey that might outweigh them by 27 to 32 kilograms
This series is one of the five that will have extra special pieces, for the Carnival collector's choice, if you collect coconuts souvenirs from the New Orleans Mardi Gras. You can display this collector's edition piece, with pride, knowing these are even hard for Zulu club members to get. In all of Carnival in New Orleans, Louisiana there are no other coconuts that look this professionally made. Some even think that they are ceramic molds, too which we say, "No, this is a real nut!." Getting these coconuts, are more preferable than getting those others that are moldy and were never meant to be kept for long periods as a keepsake. Get 'em now while the artist is offering them on the internet.
