This snow leopard by Hansa is a hand-crafted realistic plush animal from the Hansa Arctic Collection. Gentle paws, swishing tails, and especially soulful eyes and face are lovingly detailed to create the life-like look that is unmistakably Hansa.
The item I received is exactly the one in the photo, down to the facial expression. It's absolutely gorgeous, and quite large, bigger than my domestic cats (which they don't really know what to make of the Snow Leopard yet). Not only is it beautiful to look at but it's lovely to touch, soft and sturdy. I love the hyper-realistic plush because of course it's not ethical to have an endangered animal as a pet, but in a way I get to have a snow leopard that is all my own. It's really life-like, while it can be cute to get a plush that has that "teddy bear" look, I love how real this one appears. Hansa paid really close attention to the detail when it was crafted. If you loved plush animals, or snow leopards in particular, I think this is a must that you will treasure always.
