The Walrus is a large blubbery marine mammal, with long tusks which can measure over 3 feet long.  An adult male can weigh in excess of 4400 pounds and measure over 11 foot long. They also have a thick bushy mass of whiskers. These whiskers are called vibrissae and help them feel for prey in murky waters. Their habitats must be shallow as they feed along the sea floor and cannot dive to exceptional depths. They feed on a wide variety of sea creatures mostly found along the seafloor. They cannot dive very deep but they can hold their breath for half an hour while searching for food. Their favourite food includes clams and other mollusks. They use powerful suction to pull the clams from their shells. They also feed on shrimp, crabs and soft corals. Walruses can be found in Arctic and subarctic waters of the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans and the Laptev Sea.

Wudimals are known for hand-making beautifully crafted animals figurines out of sustainable wood. Their process is meticulous and thoughtful, ensuring that the shape of the animals will work with the grain of the wood, and the wood grain is joined cohesively throughout the figure, to guarantee that the product is sturdy and stable. Their products are then checked and tested, to make sure they are compliant with the stringent rules of EN71 (Europe) / UKCA  (UK)/ AS/NZS 8124 (Australia & New Zealand / ASTM F963 (USA). Once the animal is ready to go, they are packed and shipped using the least amount of resources possible. Wudimals are also 1% for the Planet members, meaning they also give 1% off all sales back to non profit environmental charities. 

We stock a lot of European brands who use the height of your child instead of an age range, this seems complicated but it really isn't, we promise! Simply measure in cm's from head to heel and that is the size you need to buy.
