Sifaka lemur stuffed animal

Our cute and very cuddly stuffed sifaka lemur is in stock and ready to ship! What a great holiday gift for a lemur lover or anyone who likes animals.

Lemurs (Lemuridae) are "prosimians." They are primates, but are not as highly evolved as monkeys or great apes. One easily recognizable feature that differs between the lemurs and other primates is the long, almost dog-like nose of the lemurs. Whereas the other primates rely more heavily on vision and hearing, lemurs rely more on their sense of smell. There are 11 species of true lemurs and 7 species of dwarf lemurs. Lemurs are found only in the woodlands on the island of Madagascar, and the Comoro Islands near Madagascar. The lemur is known for its long tail, which it holds up like a question mark when it walks or runs upon the ground. The markings on our stuffed lemur most closely match the Verreaux's Sifaka Lemur (Propithecus verreauxi).

Our exceptionally soft, cuddly stuffed sifaka lemur toy animal by Fiesta measures 9 1/2 inches long. The eyes, ears, legs and tail are securely attached making this charming stuffed animal a suitable toy for all ages.

Red-ruffed lemur toys at Tapir and Friends

We've been working on getting our new Madagascar animals online, and the other day Lee added the plastic red-ruffed lemur pictured above. This is the first time I've seen one made of plastic!

A long-time favorite stuffed animal has been this plush red-ruffed lemur from Fiesta toys. You can find both online at Tapir and Friends, and you can read about red-ruffed lemurs on our web site.

Toy animals that start with "R"

Ring-tailed lemur starts with "R." The one you see here is our cuddly and popular stuffed ring-tailed lemur. We have ring-tailed lemurs made of plastic, too. Our toy lemurs are among our most sought-after animals!

The obvious "R" animal is rhino. Do we have rhinos? Yes, yes, yes! Check them out in our online gift shop: rhino jewelry (above), plastic rhino models or replicas, and even rhino 3-D puzzles!

This plastic rhinoceros would make a wonderful gift for a rhino-loving child or friend, and would make a nice addition to your realistic animal collection!

So, what's a turtle doing here with the "R" animals? We have two varieties of ridley sea turtles! Believe it or not, we have both the Kemp's ridley turtle above and the olive ridley sea turtle below. They're made of hard plastic and are beautifully-made realistic sea turtle replicas that you can use for school projects, decorations, and much more. Come see them on our site!

"L" is for Lots of different animals!

"L" is an easy letter to match with animals in our gift shop! We have lots of toy lemurs, and here are two of them. We have plastic lemurs (two are shown here), and three different stuffed lemurs: the ring-tailed lemur, the sifaka lemur, and the beautiful and mysterious-looking red-ruffed lemur.

Next comes our stuffed leopard cub made by Hansa. This is truly a beautiful animal! It's so soft, and the paws are soft, too. It's a baby, and would make a wonderful gift for ages child to adult. The cute pink nose is made of silky plastic.

We have more leopards, too! This little plastic leopard replica would make a good addition to your shoebox diorama for school, or simply as a collectible plastic animal.

We can't leave the letter "L" without talking about lions! We still have lion Peeper Keeper eyeglass holders. They are being discontinued by the manufacturer because they want to move on to other products; this wonderfully popular series has been a departure from their core business items (glass), but as of today, we still have our carved wood lion peepers! See lots of other lions in our gift shop, too!
