He's an african wood carving. Weighs about 75 lbs. Don't know what kind of wood as he was painted when I got him from an auction. His tail comes off, but we set it in place with something, not sure what we ended up using. He had a few age cracks, so we filled and sealed them all and then gave him numerous coats of polyurethane. especially his feet. I get a kick out of him lurking behind the ligularia in my jungle!

I'm still moving him a foot here to a foot there to try to get the best setting before we tie him to the ground. Because of his weight, I don't think he would blow over, but you never know and he would kill anything in his path.
