A Zebra in Disguise? The Cuddly Toy Okapi Brings the Rainforest to Your Sofa

A wild star guest from the jungle – now exclusively at Plueschtier.de

May we introduce: the Cuddly Toy Okapi from the Carl Dick Collection. A Stuffed Animal that looks like someone tried to secretly dress a giraffe as a zebra – and accidentally created the perfect Plush Toy. If you thought you'd seen every Cuddly Toy out there, it's time to meet this one. It stands tall and proud – thanks to integrated safety wire in its legs – and looks as if it’s just walked off a jungle talent show. Whether for cuddling, playing, or sparking conversation on your living room shelf: this Okapi has more charm than an entire herd of striped Plush Giraffes.

Regal in posture, cuddly at heart

Measuring around 30 centimetres in length, standing approximately 30 centimetres tall, and with a width of about 12 centimetres, this Stuffed Animal is both compact and surprisingly majestic. Its body is covered in wonderfully soft plush fur that practically begs to be hugged. The coat shines in rich dark brown, elegantly accented with black-and-white stripes on the legs – just like its real-life rainforest relatives. The ears are large, the eyes loyal and alert – and if you look closely, you'll even notice the slightly puzzled expression: “Why do so few people know what an Okapi is?”

So what exactly is an Okapi – and why does it look like it has fashion confusion?

The Okapi hails from the tropical rainforests of northern Democratic Republic of the Congo. Although it’s related to the giraffe, its body shape couldn’t be more different. Short neck, long legs, zebra-look down below – a combination that Mother Nature probably double-checked. Okapis are shy forest dwellers who prefer hiding in the underbrush, something their unique coat pattern helps with quite nicely. They’re solitary creatures, leaf-eaters, and always give off the vibe of being on a secret jungle mission.

An Okapi as your new favourite playmate? Absolutely

Your new Plush Toy Okapi isn’t just made for cuddling – it’s ready for all kinds of jungle adventures. Hide-and-seek in the living-room rainforest? Expedition to the bedroom followed by a pillow fight? Or a wild safari across the Pillow Mountain Range? This Stuffed Animal is up for anything – elegant, steady, and charmingly silent. It also makes an excellent study companion or a quiet listener during the twelfth reading of your favourite bedtime story. Boredom? This Okapi doesn't know the meaning of the word.

Even more reasons to adopt this Plush Toy right away

Whether you’ve got a soft spot for exotic animals, need a new decorative flatmate, or just want someone who never disagrees – this Cuddly Toy is ready. It stands securely on all four legs thanks to small wire reinforcements inside them. So even after the wildest playtimes, it remains just as elegant as on day one. It’s both sturdy and silky-soft – a combo most people would envy.

Planet-friendly with a cuddle bonus

And for those who shop with sustainability in mind: this Okapi isn’t just adorable, it’s also eco-friendly on the inside. The soft inner padding is made from recycled plastic, turned into polyester fibres to deliver ultimate cuddle quality. So you can snuggle guilt-free, knowing that somewhere, a plastic bottle is getting a second chance – as the filling in your new favourite Stuffed Animal.
