These plushies are 40cm/16in long. They are made of custom printed soft velvet fabric to my own design, sewn and stuffed with polyester stuffing and plastic beans for floppy weight. They have plastic safety eyes. Please do not immerse in water, this isn't a real fish!

These plushies will come with a certificate of authenticity, detailling their species, the date they were made and proving that they are an original Palaeoplushie designed in Scotland by Rebecca Groom, with help from the wonderful book “The Bichir Handbook”, as well as feedback from the author Joshua Pickett.

As this is a hand made item, it is not intended for children and is designed to be an art piece for adults. As they are stitched by machine, they won't fall apart if handled roughly but have not passed the relevant safety standards to be sold as a child's toy.

Plushie Dimensions: 40cm long
Description: Polypterus are a genus of African freshwater fish commonly known as Bichir.
