Support conservation with a cuddly friend.

Our native pēkapeka might be small, but they play a big role in our wetland ecosystem, and in our hearts. This adorable soft toy version of the long-tailed bat makes a perfect gift for nature lovers, with its wide wingspan, fluffy brown body, and endearing face.

The pekapeka-tou-roa is one of just two native land mammals in Aotearoa and is now sadly classed as ‘Nationally Critical’. By purchasing this plush companion, you’re helping restore and protect its habitat, and raising awareness for this threatened taonga.

Features:

  • Wingspan approx. 28cm

  • Realistic design with soft fabric

  • Handmade to the highest quality standards

  • Recycled PET fibre fill

  • Made in an ICTI Ethical Toy Program–audited factory

  • Surface washable

  • Perfect for education, display, or bedtime cuddles

 

All proceeds go towards Matuku Link’s conservation and education mahi, helping us protect habitats and inspire future nature heroes.

Upon request, we can email you a digital adoption certificate, ideal for gifting, displaying, or simply keeping as a reminder of your role in protecting our native species.
