Our mission is to educate children and adults alike, about the lives of these magnificent creatures, and to understand, respect and appreciate the importance of our co-existence with all animals, in nature's "circle of life". Each animal comes with a "Teaching" tag describing, in detail, the animal's habitat, lifestyle, history, location, gestation period, care of their young and eating habits.

Significant research goes into reproducing every animal species. As noted above, the fabric for the spotted and striped animals is custom designed and exclusively created in small quantities to Hansa's exacting specifications. Each animal created is hand finished by Hansa's artists to give each their own unique personality (just as in real life).
