Handcrafted 10 Inch Lifelike Echidna Stuffed Animal by Hansa

A baby echidna is called a puggle, which happens to rhyme with snuggle, and while you might not be able to do that with the real thing, the Handcrafted 10 Inch Lifelike Echidna Stuffed Animal by Hansa is super soft and huggable, so you can cozy up together as often as you want. In every other aspect, though, this plush echidna is incredibly realistic, and has been created using a portrait taken in the animal’s natural environment, lending an unrivalled authenticity. At around 10 inches, the Handcrafted 10 Inch Lifelike Echidna Stuffed Animal by Hansa has a beautiful coat of soft ‘spines’ in varying shades of brown and cream, which has been sewn inside out by hand to reduce the number of seams produced. Hand sculpted with a soft fiber fill to accurately portray the animal’s shape, this stuffed echidna has a long nose and large feet, and is finished with amazing, airbrushed details to really give her a realistic look. A wonderful way to build a collection of unusual Australian animals, the Handcrafted 10 Inch Lifelike Echidna Stuffed Animal by Hansa will look amazing on display but will also make a fun playmate if you want a stuffie that’s a little more unique.

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.
