You’ll immediately fall in love with “Hairy,” the hairy-eared dwarf lemur from Madagascar and star of the Xeko eco-adventure game for kids. Hairy is the premier stuffed animal in the Eco-Pals line, plush toys produced with SoySilk—a fabric made from byproducts of the tofu-making process. The life-sized animal (five-feet long with an eight-inch tail) was inspired by one of the world’s most endangered lemurs. Xeko is proud to donate four percent of Eco-Pals net sales to Conservation International, an organization working hard to save Hairy’s habitat.
