Hansa Giraffe

Gifaffe: From the Safari Collection 31" L x 9" W x 43.5" H. Hansa toys are world-renowned for their life-like reproductions of the animal kingdom. Giraffe is reinforced with a specially designed metal frame to accommodate children (and some adults up to 150lbs) who want to take a ride on the wild side. Dark soulful eyes, a black nose, and detailed face give Giraffe a very realistic look. It's tag "Toys that Teach" will give the facts about it's life in the wild.

Hansa is respected the world over for its finely crafted collection of our planet's animal kingdom. Originally created for exclusive European collectors, each plush animal is meticulously handcrafted from portraits of real animals in their natural habitat. Hansa's goal is to help educate children and adults alike, about the natural lives of these magnificent creatures, and to understand, respect and appreciate the importance of our co-existence with all animals. Each animal comes with a "Toys that Teach" tag describing in detail the animal's habitat, lifestyle, gestation period, care of their young and eating habits.

Significant research goes into reproducing every animal species. Each and every animal produced is hand finished by Hansas artists to create each with their very own unique personality (just as in real life).

Hansa Toy International was founded by German-born Hans Axthelm in 1972 while living in Australia. Having spent most of his life in Australia, Hans has dedicated himself to the development and production of "true to life" replications of animals in their natural habitat. Since those early years, Hansa Toy International has received many awards for its designs including "Toy of the Year" as well as other internationally recognized awards and toy product nominations. The unique combination of industry experience and European influence executed in the design, manufacturing, and quality control is what makes Hansa's animals exceptional.
