Publisher's Description of Wild Calls Hippo 8" Plush with Sound
These eight-inch realistic-looking plush pieces also have an embedded sound chip. Activate the sound chip with a gentle squeeze and hear the real call of the animal. These sounds are authentic, recorded by The Cornell Labs in the wild. Wild Republic Wild Calls are a great way to teach about wildlife.
Exceed the requirements set by SCSIA (USA) and EN71 (EU) for safety standards and specifications.
Tag printed in soy ink and made of recycled paper.
Not only are these little stuffed critters soft and cute, but they also replicate the sound of the animal that they look like. The small size of these plushies make great buddies for car rides, school lockers, desk-top displays, and more. The stuffed animals let out a noise about 5 times when their bodies are squeezed. With the exception of the frog plush, the calls of these animals have actually been recorded in the wild by Cornell Labs. Young children especially love noise-making toys. Each of these animals are approximately 8" long or tall. These stuffed animals are completely sown up for safety and comfort, also meaning that the batteries cannot be replaced once the battery life is gone. The stuffing in every product from this series has been spun from recycled water bottles. ~ Brianna
