Bison finger puppet stuffed animal

You could think of this as a cute little stuffed bison (or American buffalo), but it's actually a finger puppet by Folkmanis.

Our Bison Finger Puppet

Our stuffed bison finger puppet is 5 1/2 inches long and is crafted with fine workmanship from Folkmanis. It has a lined pocket to control the head. Its hump, shoulders, and front legs are made with incredibly soft fabric and its feet, horns and nose are made of soft plastic. Our bison makes for an enjoyable toy or pet or fits nicely into a bison collection. This stuffed bison finger puppet may work well for school projects and can be set into a Great Plains or western diorama as well. Be sure to see our other bison toys and gifts.

About Bison

The American bison (Bison bison) is a symbol of the Great Plains of the American West. Countless animals onced roamed freely, but were hunted to near extiction during the 19th century. The bison is known as an even-toed ungulate, meaning a hoofed animal whose weight is borne by the third and fourth toe. Early bison arrived during the Eocene 40 million years ago as grasses began to cover the plains. Later, hunting and gathering societies considered them as a vital meat supplement to their diet. The bison is not born with its characteristic hump or horns but these features develop as the animal matures. The bison lives for about 30 years.
