Handcrafted 15 Inch Lifelike Baby Aardvark Stuffed Animal by Hansa

With a name that translates as ‘earth pig’, the Handcrafted 15 Inch Lifelike Baby Aardvark Stuffed Animal by Hansa was never going to be anything but cute! At around 15 inches, this plush baby aardvark has been made from a specially designed plush fabric that closely resembles the real animal’s coat; hand cut into dozens of individual pieces, this plush is then hand sewn inside out using a traditional method to minimize seams and give a flawless finish. With a white underside and the sweetest tufts of hair in both huge ears, the Handcrafted 15 Inch Lifelike Baby Aardvark Stuffed Animal by Hansa comes with a long, protruding tongue that, in the wild, is sticky to enable these adorable animals to capture insects and satisfy their appetites. Carefully airbrushed to create astonishing detail, this stuffed baby aardvark has been created using an actual aardvark portrait, and even the soft fiber fill stuffing has been sculpted to perfectly emulate this unusual animal’s build. Fitted with an internal support, the Handcrafted 15 Inch Lifelike Baby Aardvark Stuffed Animal by Hansa will maintain his standing position, although he will willingly lie down whenever you need a hug.

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.
