“Tiger Tiger, burning bright,
In the forests of the night;
What immortal hand or eye,
Could frame thy fearful symmetry?”
The Tiger
A Poem by William Blake
ED29S Siberian Tiger Cub – Figure
“Tiger Tiger, burning bright,
In the forests of the night;
What immortal hand or eye,
Could frame thy fearful symmetry?”

A Poem by William Blake
ED31 Sloth – Figure
“In moving slow he has no Peer.
You ask him something in his Ear,
He thinks about it for a Year;
And, then, before he says a Word
There, upside down (unlike a Bird),
He will assume that you have Heard
A most Ex-as-per-at-ing Lug.
But should you call his manner Smug,
He’ll sigh and give his Branch a Hug;
Then off again to Sleep he goes,
Still swaying gently by his Toes,
And you just know he knows he knows.”
The Sloth
A poem by Theodore Roethke
ED32 Robin – Figure
“From the elm-tree’s topmost bough,
Hark! the Robin’s early song!
Telling one and all that now
Merry spring-time hastes along;
Welcome tidings dost thou bring,
Little harbinger of spring:
Robin’s come!”
Robin’s Come
A poem by William Warner Caldwell
ED33 Sea Turtle – Figure
“Little turtle of the sea
At your birth you were not free
Dodging birds of prey on land
Into water there’s no friend
Seals await to seal your fate
And if you pass the daunting fears
You will live for another day
Until you live one hundred years.
Little turtle swim, swim away…”
Sea Turtle
A poem by Philo Yan
ED34 Puffin – Figure
“Oh, there once was a Puffin
Just the shape of a muffin,
And he lived on an island
In the bright blue sea!
He ate little fishes,
That were most delicious,
And he had them for supper
And he had them for tea.”
from There Once Was a Puffin
A Poem by Florence Page Jacques
ED35 Elephant Calf – Figure
‘Then the Elephant’s Child sat back on his little haunches, and pulled, and pulled, and pulled, and his nose began to stretch. And the Crocodile floundered into the water, making it all creamy with great sweeps of his tail, and he pulled, and pulled, and pulled. And the Elephant’s Child’s nose kept on stretching; and the Elephant’s Child spread all his little four legs and pulled, and pulled, and pulled, and his nose kept on stretching; and the Crocodile threshed his tail like an oar, and he pulled, and pulled, and pulled, and at each pull the Elephant’s Child’s nose grew longer and longer…’

by Rudyard Kipling
ED36W Baby Gorilla “Snowflake” – Figure (White)
“I shall never forget my first encounter with gorillas. Sound preceded sight. Odour preceded sound in the form of an overwhelming, musky-barnyard, humanlike scent. The air was suddenly rent by a high-pitched series of screams followed by the rhythmic rondo of sharp pok-pok chest beats from a great silverbacked male obscured behind what seemed an impenetrable wall of vegetation.”
by Dian Fossey

EDJC01 Orangutan Baby “Oh” Numbered Edition – Figure
Orangutans are the largest tree-dwelling animals on Earth. They climb up to the canopy to feed, eating ripe fruit, young leaves and the occasional termite or vine. Orangutans are semi-solitary in the wild (unlike other higher primates). A baby orangutan will be carried around by its mother for the first five years and until another baby orangutan is born, mothers sleep in a nest with their offspring every night. For the first eight years of a young orangutans life, its mother is its constant companion and protector.
The Baby Oh! Orangutan Edge Sculpture is a beautiful representation of the young from these amazing primates and is a perfect addition to any wildlife sculpture collection.
