EUGY Elephant

The largest land mammal, scaled down to fit in your hand. The EUGY Elephant is a layered card portrait of a genuinely remarkable animal elephants can talk to each other over long distances through vibrations in the ground, and an African elephant’s ear is even shaped like the continent it roams. This one also does some good: 10% of net sales profit goes to the Sheldrick Wildlife Trust, which rescues orphaned elephants in Kenya.
