National Geographic Lio Bengal Slow Loris

Steiff has partnered with National Geographic to create a special collection of plush toy animals in support of preserving biodiversity. The collection includes a wide variety of animals that were photographed by Joel Sartore for the National Geographic Photo Ark species preservation project.

Proceeds from the sale of any National Geographic product support scientists, explorers and researchers from the National Geographic Society all over the world.

Welcome Steiff’s Lio, the Bengal slow loris, a primate from the loris family. Its adorable look and trusting behaviour increase the threat to this wonderful creature. Its habitat is disappearing due to human activity. The loris’ cute nature makes it a favourite pet in many parts of Asia. This animal is easy to catch as it just stands still when it’s found. And that’s the whole tragedy.

Steiff’s Lio Bengal slow loris is 26cm tall, made of light brown cuddly soft plush. The nose and feet are beige and its face is dark brown and cream. The brown face, back and claws are produced using elaborate airbrushing. The toes are stitched. Lio Bengal slow loris is ready at any time to give and receive cuddles. On the other hand, its relatives would definitely be grateful if they were left in peace. This life-like symbol is sure to bring joy.
