Go for a safari adventure and tell bedtime tales filled with Savannah wonder, all with the help of your handy little Giraffe friend. So soft and friendly looking, we want to take one home ourselves! Grab your's today. GIRAFFE FACTSPhysical CharacteristicsGiraffes are the world's tallest mammals. A giraffe's legs alone are taller than many humans at about 6 feet long. Even the giraffe's tongue is long! The 53cm tongue helps them pluck delicious foliage from branches. Despite having a very long neck, the giraffe has the same number of vertebrae in its neck as all other mammals, they're just elongated. Average lifespan in the wild: 25 years. Size: 14 to 19 ft Weight: 1,750 to 2,800 lbs. HabitatGiraffes usually inhabit African savannas, grasslands, or open woodlands. However, when food is scarce they will venture into areas with denser vegetation. Typically, these unique animals roam the open grasslands in small groups of about half a dozen. BehaviourGiraffes can run as fast as 35 miles an hour over short distances and cruise comfortably at 10 miles an hour over longer distances. The giraffe's height also helps it to keep a sharp lookout for predators across the wide expanse of the African savanna. Giraffes sleep for no more than 5 to 30 minutes in 24 hours. BreedingBreeding occurs between May and August. With an average gestation of 457 days giraffes tend to give birth to just one calf at a time. It takes up to 3 years for a baby giraffe to become independent from its mother. DietMaintaining a Herbivorous diet, the Giraffe eats leaves from tree branches, using it's long neck and tongue to reach the parts other animals can't. Giraffes eat most of the time and, like cows, regurgitate food and chew it as cud. A
Measures 8cmPlush fake furStuffed toySuitable for ages 3 years and upA very compact raccoon that will follow you everywhere. Its big black eyes and fluffy tail enhance its very friendly personality. And at 8cm it can easily fit into any pocket or pencil case. Physical CharacteristicsTwo of the most distinctive features of the raccoon are its extremely sensitive front paws and facial mask. Its dense underfur, which insulates against cold weather, accounts for almost 90% of its greyish coat. It has a body length of 41 to 72 cm and a weight of 3.6 to 9.0 kg. The most characteristic physical feature of the raccoon is the area of black fur around the eyes which contrasts sharply with the surrounding white face coloring. This is reminiscent of a bandit's mask and has thus enhanced the animal's reputation for mischief. HabitatRaccoons' original habitats are deciduous and mixed forests, but due to their adaptability they have extended their range to mountainous areas, coastal marshes, and even urban areas, where some homeowners consider them pests. BehaviourRaccoons are adaptable, and use their dexterous front paws and long fingers to find and feast on a wide variety of fare. Raccoons in the northern parts of their range gorge themselves in spring and summer to store up body fat. They then spend much of the winter asleep in a den. BreedingFemale raccoons have one to seven cubs in early summer. The young raccoons often spend the first two months or so of their lives high in a tree hole. Later, mother and children move to the ground when the cubs begin to explore on their own. DietRaccoons are omnivorous and usually nocturnal, and their diet consists of about 40% invertebrates, 33% plant foods and 27% vertebrates. Strange and Interesting FactsThe word raccoon is derived from the Algonquin word ahrah-koon-em - other transcriptions exist - which was the pronunciation used by Chief Powhatan and his daughter

ELEPHANT FACTSPhysical CharacteristicsThe elephant is Earth's largest land animal, although the Asian elephant is slightly smaller than its African cousin. Asian elephants can be identified by their smaller, rounded ears, whereas the African elephant has larger ears to help keep it cool in the scorching African heat. An elephant's trunk is actually a long nose with many functions. It is used for smelling, breathing, trumpeting, drinking, and also for grabbing. The trunk alone contains about 100,000 different muscles. The Asian elephant has a fingerlike feature on the end of their trunk that they can use to grab small items and the African elephant has two fingerlike protrusions. HabitatAfrican and Asiatic elephants roam savannas and light forests while the African Forest Elephant mainly lives in African rain forests. BehaviourElephants are fond of water and enjoy showering by sucking water into their trunks and spraying it all over themselves. Afterwards, they often spray their skin with a protective coating of dust. Both male and female African elephants have tusks they use to dig for food and water and strip bark from trees. Males also use the tusks to battle one another. BreedingHerds are composed of mostly females with an older dominant female taking charge. Males are ousted from the herd when they become sexually mature. They roam by themselves and rejoin the females for mating. Elephants have an extremely long gestation period; conception to birth takes 630 days to two years. After a succe
