Handcrafted 13 Inch Lifelike Orca Whale Stuffed Animal by Hansa

The clue to something’s identity is generally in their name, so you might be surprised to learn that the Handcrafted 13 Inch Lifelike Orca Whale Stuffed Animal by Hansa is something of a misnomer, as he is not a whale at all, but a dolphin; in fact, these huge mammals are the biggest oceanic dolphins in the world. At around 13 inches, this plush Orca is, of course, pared down from the average 27 feet in length that they measure in the wild, but everything else about him is astonishingly true to life. Hand sewn inside out using a traditional method to minimize seams, the Handcrafted 13 Inch Lifelike Orca Whale Stuffed Animal by Hansa has been put together using dozens of individually cut pieces to ensure accuracy, and then stuffed with a soft fiber fill, which not only makes him incredibly cuddly, but also gives him a super accurate shape. With a black upper and a white underside, this stuffed Orca has airbrushed details which lend realism and personality to the already beautiful killer whale. Completely hand made by artisans, the Handcrafted 13 Inch Lifelike Orca Whale Stuffed Animal by Hansa also comes with a printed hang tag that explains some interesting facts and figures that you might want to share with friends and family, too.

Hansa stuffed animals are as lifelike as stuffed animals can be because each animal is carefully designed using significant research and actual portraits of the animal in its natural habitat. Hansa’s goal in being so exact in the creation of their stuffed animals is to educate children and adults about the animals’ lives and to help increase the understanding and appreciation of these amazing creatures and of our co-existence with them. Each stuffed animal is hand sewn using an old world ‘inside-out’ method to minimize the visibility of the seams. Each stuffed animal’s face is hand-finished and airbrushed to give it a truly unique appearance and the body is also carefully sculpted to create realistic features. These true-to-life stuffed animals look great in dens, offices, and display cases and also make excellent playmates. Every piece comes with an educational tag describing, in detail, the animal’s habitat, lifestyle, gestation period, care of young and eating habits. All Hansa stuffed animals meet or exceed all U.S. and European safety standards and are recommended for ages three and up. We suggest gentle surface washing for Hansa stuffed animals.
