Hawksbill Sea Turtle

The World Wildlife Fund classifies the Hawksbill sea turtle (Scientific name: Eretmochelys imbricata) as a species in severe danger of extinction. The Hawksbill's appearance is similar to that of other sea turtles, but it can be easily distinguished by its tapered head which ends in a sharp beak-like mouth and the saw-toothed edges of its shell. Many cultures use turtles' shells for decorative items such as jewelry, hair accessories, and eyeglasses. The Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species prohibits the capture and trade of Hawksbill sea turtles and products made from them. Despite this, humans continue to catch Hawksbills worldwide. My artwork is called "Gift". It depicts an imaginary Hawksbill sea turtle swimming happily with a gift box for a shell. It seems that the Hawksbill is very happy to be a gift, but this is not true. The shell is not a gift for anyone and the Hawksbill does not feel good about it. Humans may be thrilled to receive beautiful gifts, but the Hawksbills are unhappy. As Christmas approaches, please print this out as a decoration for your tree. Your guests may be interested in learning more about the story of the Hawksbill. Thank you for your support.

Assembly: Different 3D printers have varying levels of accuracy. If necessary, polish some parts before assembly. Also, assemble the "GiftBow002" and "Box" parts first.
