The lovingly crafted stuffed animal whales – your cuddly companions from the underwater world
Welcome to the fascinating category of cuddly toy whales from the Carl-Dick Collection. Here, you immerse yourself in the breathtaking world of the largest marine creatures our planet has to offer. These plush toys are not only incredibly cuddly and soft but also designed with such attention to detail that they almost seem alive. But don't worry, our stuffed animal whales are much smaller and more manageable than their real counterparts – after all, they are meant to fit in the children's room or on the sofa.Impressive characteristics of whales
Whales are undoubtedly the giants of the seas. The blue whale, the largest living creature to ever inhabit the Earth, can reach an impressive length of up to 33 meters and weigh a gigantic 200 tons. Imagine that. These majestic creatures are mammals, which means they have to come to the surface regularly to breathe. Their distinctive blow, created when they exhale, can shoot up to 9 meters high into the air – a sight that leaves everyone in awe. These incredible animals also have an amazing lifespan of up to 90 years and a complex social structure that often astonishes us humans.
The life of orca whales in the sea
Orca whales, also known as killer whales, are the charismatic predators of the seas. These black-and-white beauties are incredibly intelligent and live in complex social groups called pods. Within these groups, there is a strict hierarchy and impressive cooperation during hunts. Orcas are known for their versatile diet, which ranges from schools of fish to seals and even smaller whale species. They communicate with each other through a variety of clicks and whistles and have their own dialects that vary from pod to pod. This social behavior makes them one of the most fascinating marine creatures to observe.
Humpback whales are an impressive whale species found in oceans worldwide
Humpback whales are known for their long fins and distinctive humps on their backs, which give them their name. They can reach up to 16 metres in length and weigh around 30 tonnes. These gentle giants are masters of song; males sing complex songs that can last several minutes. Humpback whales are also known for their acrobatic leaps, often breaching fully out of the water. Their diet mainly consists of small fish and krill, which they catch using sophisticated hunting techniques. Particularly famous is the "bubble-net feeding," where they use bubbles to encircle fish. During winter, humpback whales often migrate to warmer waters to mate and give birth. However, due to whaling and pollution, they are considered endangered in many regions. Thanks to conservation efforts, some populations are slowly recovering, but the species remains sensitive to changes in their habitat.
Absurd facts about whales
Did you know that whales are arguably the most unconventional and exciting creatures of the seas? Here are a few absurd facts that will surely make you smile:
Whale disco: Some humpback whales sing complex songs that can last up to 20 minutes and be heard over hundreds of kilometers. Sometimes they change their "hits" annually – as if they were composing a new chartbreaker.
Blowhole blower: The blow of a blue whale can drench an entire football team from a meter away. Don't worry, our stuffed animal whales are much more reserved.
Whale care: Sperm whales sometimes use schools of fish as a giant "whale spa" to rid themselves of pesky parasites. Who would have thought that whales are wellness enthusiasts?
Did you know...
...that orcas often "strand raid" their prey by beaching themselves to catch seals?
...that some whales, like the gray whale, migrate up to 16,000 kilometers a year to move from feeding grounds in cold polar regions to warmer waters?
...that whales, despite their huge hearts weighing up to 600 kilograms, have an amazingly slow heartbeat? A blue whale's heart beats only about six times per minute.
