Hi! I have a silly little question here but I am stumped so would appreciate any opinions!
I want to sell this Blankets & Beyond security blanket but for the life of me have no idea what animal this is?
I can only find one like it on google and the seller is calling it a Giraffe, but I am thinking more Kangaroo? Or what the heck animal is it?
Thanks so much, I do sell alot of these Loveys to appreciative buyers who's children have either misplaced or destroyed them so I find it is important to describe them properly to help them be sought out

Hello 'alycat',
Oh good, a fun question.
The head shape and ears would have me think a donkey, yet the nose and nostrils remind me of an anteater.
The long neck, however, and perhaps with the 'stand up' ears, would definitely suggest a giraffe.
A giraffe is a popular animal in children's items so I would say go with that. Are you not able to say in the body
of the listing that you think it could be a kangaroo?
Do you suppose the animal appears so indistinct so that whatever animal the child prefers, well, this could be it,
then, couldn't it.

Or what about a horse? If you are listing zoological possibilities in your description, -- couldn't be a horse?

I thought horse as well. Don't giraffes have two little horn type things just in front of their ears?

*laffs* Yes, that's true, but I'm not sure how those could be sewn in or on. For the matter of that,
this one has no mane either.
It appears as much an escapee from the island of Doctor Moreau.

The neck makes me think that is it probably a giraffe...not sure why it is gray though...

Thank u!!!!!
Thanks so so much for your inputs,
I appreciate u letting me pick your brains with this (lol)
It does look like all of the suggested! Long neck like a giraffe (females don't have the horns), and yes Horse!!!
When googling Blankets & Beyond Horse Security Blanket, I found a few of the exact blanket ! So giraffe and horse are my tops. I am also going to use all 80 characters in my title and fit Kangaroo in there too since it is a beloved zoo animal.
One seller described it as a dinosaur (?) - I think that's pushing the envelope a bit, lol.
"Blankets & Beyond Blue Yellow Polka Dots Plush Horse Giraffe Kangaroo Security Lovey" will be my title.
Really just trying to "think like a buyer" particularly a parent, how they would they describe it for a search.
cheers

It's actually a light baby blue - bad me used someone elses bad photo for reference. I promise I will be taking my own for the listing !

Title actually didn't fit so :
"Plush Blue Yellow Polka Dots Horse Giraffe Kangaroo Security Blanket & Beyond VG"
it officially is.
Cheers & thanks again!

I may be way off but I immediately thought it looked like a baby dinosaur.

Funny, that was what one seller described it as...
