Plastic maned wolf: Another one bites the dust

Another of our all-time favorite critters has been (sadly) discontinued. We loved this maned wolf, because how many toy maned wolves can you find? We hope to find another for our gift shop someday, but they are few and far between. This one was unique in a weird way as well. Oddly enough, the manufacturers stamped MYERS ASPARAGUS on the underside. That's a type of asparagus fern!
