Eco-Friendly Cuddlekins 12 Inch Stuffed Dugong by Wild Republic

You might ask why the Eco-Friendly Cuddlekins 12 Inch Stuffed Dugong by Wild Republic is the stuff that fairytales are made of, and quite rightly, too, as these strange-looking animals don’t feature in any of the popular children’s books. The fact is, it is thought by many people that dugongs were the inspiration for mermaids! This plush dugong might not have long flowing hair or an iridescent tail, but what she lacks in looks she more than makes up for in personality and cuddliness. In a pretty silvery gray, the Eco-Friendly Cuddlekins 12 Inch Stuffed Dugong by Wild Republic is pleasantly plump, with wide flippers and a whale-like tail, while her embroidered eyes are always looking around for her next big cuddle. At around 12 inches, this stuffed dugong is related to the more well-known manatee as well as the mighty elephant, although she is definitely in a league of her own. As strict vegetarians, these 8-10 foot marine mammals lead a greener lifestyle than some, but the Eco-Friendly Cuddlekins 12 Inch Stuffed Dugong by Wild Republic takes her love of the planet even further, because she is made entirely from recycled plastic bottles, which have been sanitized, shredded, melted, and then spun into a luxurious yarn with which both her fabric and her filling are made.
