Animals that begin with "F"

What a variety we have of animals that begin with "F." We have beautiful pink flamingo jewelry, as you can see above. Actually, they look brighter pink in our store than they do in this scan. I'll have to get a new photo online so you can see how stunning it really is!

"F" is also for ferret. We have two kinds of stuffed ferret toys, and they're both very popular.

A stuffed flea? Are you kidding me? No! We have stuffed fleas and other stuffed insects, too!

Here's our plastic fly. Don't get too attached the red eyes, though. Our new plastic housefly replicas have black eyes, although the fly is the same.

Does "F" stand for frog? Yes, I think it does. We have lots and lots of wondeful frogs in our store. They come in all sorts of colors and include many recognizable species. Come check out the page! It's fun to look at them even if you're not buying frogs today :)

This is just SOME of the frog jewelry we have in stock. All are hand-painted and hand-made in the USA by a couple of talented artists. You will love the detail in these unusual frog pins!

"E" is for Elephant, and how many more?

How about this? "E is for Elk!" We have a really cool plastic elk that's great for kids or collectors or your school project on North American forest animals. I've been lucky enough to see elk in the forests near where I live in Oregon. It's quite a thrill.

And what about eagles? We have lots of bald eagles in our online store. Here's a plastic bald eagle (above). Below is one of the several designs we carry of bald eagle hand-made, hand-painted jewelry.

Does "snake" start with "E"? No, but our emerald boa plastic action figure snake certainly does.

And what would our "E" page be without an elephant? Pictured here is our African elephant plastic 3-D interlocking puzzle. We have several kinds of elephant puzzles and many more elephants, too. Come see our collection of elephant items just for you!

What animals start with "D"?

That wasn't too hard. We have a plastic desert fox (above) and a plastic dingo (below). Both are in the dog family, too :)

I'm trying to stay away from generic names, so I'm not going to say "D is for dinosaur," but this dinosaur's name does start with "D," it's a dilophosaurus 3-D plastic puzzle. Dilophosaurus also has a lot of friends. Come see all of his dinosaur and other animal puzzle buddies!

Since dragons don't come in species (that I know about anyway), I will use a generic here and say "D is also for Dragon." We have several beautiful hand-made, hand-painted dragon pins, and dragon Peeper Keeper eyeglass holders, too! We also have other kinds of animals with the word "dragon" in their name, such as Komodo dragons, which are really big monitor lizards, and leafy sea dragons, which are very elaborate and beautiful seahorses.

This nice plastic damsel fish is another of our "d" animals that lives in the water. Hey, what about dolphins? We have those, too! In fact, we have lots of dolphins! Check them out!

"C" is for Caribou, Camel and Crab

We're doing fine with our alphabetical discoveries this week. We have plenty of "C" animals. Three of them are the caribou (or reindeer), camel and crab. Our plastic caribou (pictured above) is good for school projects and displays, and can be used as a toy, given as a gift, or saved as a collector's item for animal fans. It is nicely detailed and made of a plastic that's somewhat soft and flexible as well as being sturdy. The anlers are not dangerous because they flex.

Here is one of our beautiful camels by Safari, Ltd. It also had lots of nice, realistic details. We have other nice camels in our gift shop, too.

Crabs! We have lots of crabs. The one shown here is our 3-D Plastic Crab Puzzle. You can take it apart and put it back together as many times as you'd like. The pieces are interlocking and flexible. Have fun with the legs!

See our mammoths! Stuffed mammoths, plastic mammoths, mammoth puppet, 3-D plastic puzzle!

The Ice Age is a very interesting and popular period of time thanks to a number of recent movies and our ongoing fascination with the huge extinct animals that roamed the Earth at that time. One of the most recognizable animals from that era is the woolly mammoth. We have quite a few to choose from! If you want to give a gift or toy that will be cherished for "ages," consider giving a woolly mammoth! The plush mammoth above is a reasonably-priced stuffed animal, and satisfyingly good-sized for the price, too.

This 3-D plastic mammoth puzzle will be fun for hours. You can put it together and take it apart again. Keep the pieces in this plastic "ice cube," or store the mammoth on your shelf assembled. If you like the mammoth, we also have a wide range of other 3-D plastic animal puzzles.

This plastic mammoth is good for collections of Ice Age animals or it makes a nicely educational gift for a child. You can also use it to illustrate your school project about extinct animals or mammoths.

This stuffed woolly mammoth is a lot of fun, because it's a large hand puppet! That certainly opens up a lot of possibilities for play. Add this fine stuffed puppet to your collection. You wanted a talking mammoth? Well, you and your friends will have to do the talking for him, but what do you think a mammoth would say?

This stuffed mammoth may be the cream of the crop. It's made by Hansa, and it looks better in real life than it does here. It's a very special stuffed animal, and we love it! We love all of our mammoths, but this Hansa animal has that spark of something special, as it's hand-made with love and care! Come see all of our woolly mammoth toys and gifts! Got questions? Give us a call or write to us. Our phone numbers and e-mail are easy to find on our web site. Just follow the link above!

Now let's find an animal that starts with "B"

Here's a bull shark. It starts with "B." It's made of plastic and it's only 3 inches long. You could add it to your shark collection or use for a school project about the ocean.

No, "bird" doesn't count, but this bird is special - it has TWO names that start with "B." It's a blue-footed booby from the Galapagos Islands. Come see this bird and its many island friends!

Maybe "bear" is too easy, but we love bears, and couldn't leave out our nice brown flocked plastic grizzly bear!

Hey, here's another shark that starts with "B." This is a blue shark. I saw one come up out of the ocean one time when I was on a fishing boat. It was truly blue and quite beautiful! Do you know anyone who needs a small plastic blue shark replica? I do!

Animals from A to Z: Let's start with "A"

Let's start an alphabet game for the animals we have in our gift shop, OK? The idea isn't original, but it should be a lot of fun. Wow, look at all the animals that start with "A," and I haven't even starte on ants and alligators! We have anteater jewelry (shown above) . . .

. . . several kinds of aardvarks, including plastic aardvarks and stuffed aardvarks. We actually have more aardvarks than I've used in this post, so you'll have to visit our aardvark page to see them all!

This stuffed aardvark is extremely charming and fun to cuddle!

Our plush anteater is also a big hit. Fun to hold, nice and furry!

And here's an unusual critter, it's a giant armadillo!

Come visit our animals that start with "A" and all of the others, too!

Plastic toy bunny rabbit or hare

This plastic toy bunny rabbit would make a nice toy for your collection. It's virtually indestructible, and since it's hollow, it can't do much damage if someone throws it. It's slightly squeezable, too. We have a wide range of interesting plastic animals in the same size, so if you want to find other animal friends for your rabbit, that's not a problem! Come check them out at Tapir and Friends Wildlife World. We ship anywhere! And with Easter coming up, we think rabbits might be just the thing to stock up on! At $4.00 each, they're pretty affordable, too.

T-Rex Dinosaur 3-D Plastic Puzzle

Our 3-D dinosaur puzzles are lots of fun to put together on a rainy night or a snowy afternoon. You can take these plastic animal puzzles apart and put them back together again as many times as you'd like! Come see our T-rex and his many dinosaur friends in our online gift shop. We ship around the world. We also have 3-D puzzles of many interesting animals that live on the planet today.

Penguins galore in our online store!

Penguins! We have them! Come see them all on our online gift shop! We have plastic penguins, stuffed penguins, and other penguin toys and gifts. We have a variety of species from the ever-popular emperor penguin to rockhopper penguins and even a penguin from the Galapagos Islands. If you thought penguins only lived in the Antarctic, this will be a surprise.

Here's our little plastic rockhopper toy penguin.

And here's a beautiful hand-painted emperor penguin made of hand-cast pewter and painted in the state of Washington, USA.

This plastic parent and chick emperor penguin replica will charm you!

Hansa's stuffed emperor penguin is also a favorite. It looks better in real life than in the photo, and the price isn't as much as you might think for such a wondeful high quality stuffed animal.

Plastic frogs, frog jewelry . . . the coolest gifts!

Whether your're looking for a plastic frog such as the harlequin poison dart frog pictured above, or something special like a hand-painted frog pin (see a variety of frog pins below), check out our web pages for frog jewelry, plastic frogs and other frog gifts. We even have Peeper Keeper eyeglass holders in the shape of a frog!

Sea life aquatic animals - crabs, eels, octopus and much more!

These large plastic crabs, eels, octopi and many more sea animals are popular for table decor for parties, counter decor for restaurants, suchi bars and any other seafood or sea life-related event or venue.

Come check out the sea life page at Tapir and Friends Wildlife World. One of our favorite customers uses our plastic sea animals for ice sculptures! Check out the variety of what's available.

How many plastic pangolins does a playful person need?

The answer is up to you! We think everyone should have at least two plastic pangolins, and maybe a lot more. We have two styles to choose from. The little toy pangolin above is 4 3/4 inches long from nose to tail (to the end of its tail), and the one below is 6 inches from nose to tail.

Pangolins are strong diggers, and that's what this pangolin appears to be doing. They live on a diet of ants and termites, and they spend a lot of time digging these insects out of mounds, fallen logs, and stumps.

The size of 6 inches is measured from nose to tail (it's actually more like 6 1/2 inches). The size difference is a little deceptive if you only go by the numbers, because our digging pangolin is hunched over and its tail is curved. The little pangolin is small enough in comparison to be a baby next to the parent. Come check out our cool plastic pangolins! We think everyone should have at least one or two! They make excellent toys, gifts, replicas for school projects and dioramas, collectors' items or decorations for your next pangolin-themed event!

Pangolins are sometimes called "scaly anteaters," although they live in Asia and sub-Saharan Africa, while true anteaters live in Central and South America (the lesser anteaters live in Central America and the giant anteaters in South America). You can read more about real pangolins at SavePangolins.org.

Dilophosaurus Dinosaur 3-D Puzzle

Our 3-D interlocking plastic dinosaur puzzles continue to be popular, and for good reasons. They're fun, colorful, and they challenge your mind and hands. Have fun opening the plastic egg case and fitting the pieces together to create your own dinosaur! When he's put together, you can leave him on display, or put the pieces back for another time. Each 3-D puzzle comes with a schematic in case you get stuck, but we don't think you'll need it. We have a nice selection of dinosaur puzzles along with other interesting animals. Come check them out!

Dilophosaurus dinosaurs come from the Early Jurassic Period, and are named for the two crests on their heads. Dilophosaurus was not described until 1954.

Have Fun with Peeper Keeper Eyeglass Holders

Our animal eyeglass holders are fun for all! If you don't wear glasses, you can give them as gifts to someone who does. Our peeper keepers are also good for holding business cards or other small pieces of paper. We even knew someone who used them to hold headphones when they were not being used. What a great idea!

As of today we have several hummingbird peepers in stock along with a large assortment of other animals. Come see them today!

In honor of "psychedelica" - get your own frogfish 3-D plastic puzzle!

Frogfish are strange sea animals whose legs have evolved to behave like feet. A new frogfish was discovered about a year ago, and the big news on February 26th of this year is that it was designated a new species. For reasons you'll see if you follow the link, they called the fish "psychedelica." You can read about the new frogfish and see the video here. If you want to buy the puzzle above, come see our frogfish 3-D puzzle at Tapir and Friends Wildlife World online gift shop! There are many different species of frogfish, and ours is one of the few that lives in shallow water. We have lots of 3-D plastic puzzles, and a number of them are species that live in the ocean.
