Plush Stuffed Harp Snow Seal

Ready for an ocean adventure? Adorably plump and achingly vulnerable, this plush stuffed Harp Snow Seal replicates as closely as possible live harp seals who frolic near the shores of the North Atlantic Ocean off eastern Canada and eastern Greenland and near the shores of the White Sea off Russia. And since these places are so snowy, it makes sense that adorable harp seals are always white. Ready to cuddle in your home, this Plush Stuffed Harp Snow Seal is crafted with high quality, kid-safe, man-made materials—soft plush exterior; polyester fiber interior; lock washer eyes—that meet or exceed all U.S. safety standards. Surface-washable. Imported. Ages 3 and up.  12"l. x 5"w. x 5"h.

Museum Provenance

Mammals, which include human beings, are one class of warm-blooded vertebrate animals that have evolved and adapted to our planet. The Kenneth E. Behring Family Hall of Mammals at the Smithsonian’s National Museum of Natural History explores the diversity of some 274 mammals and how they originated and adapted to changing landscapes and environments over the last 225 million years—from polar to desert regions and from dry to humid environments.

Every Smithsonian purchase will arrive with a museum provenance card explaining how it is adapted from or inspired by an object or objects in our collection.
