After two decades of celebrating wildlife by creating plush that are “the closest thing to the real thing,” it has become clear that wildlife today needs advocates more than fanatics. Wildlife Artists honors wildlife through education and conservation initiatives. Their mission is to forward conservation efforts by creating plush with authenticity and artistry that inspire an appreciation for nature and adventure. This special specimen is based on the Red Squirrel, a type of squirrel whose black stripe only shows up on its side during the warm summer season.
