The Internet's Favourite Animal Just Got Cuddlier: Meet Savanna the Capybara Beanie Baby

Capybaras have taken over the internet. The world's largest rodent has become the world's most loved animal, famous for its calm nature and its habit of making friends with every creature it meets. Now Ty has captured all that charm in plush form, and she has arrived at Beanie Boos Australia.

Savanna the Capybara is the newest addition to the TY Beanie Babies family, available now for $11.99. If the past few years have taught us anything, it is that capybara fans are passionate, and capybara collectibles do not sit on shelves for long.

Why capybaras, and why now

Few animals have enjoyed a rise like the capybara. From viral videos to plush toys, stickers and games, the capybara has become a genuine pop culture phenomenon with fans of every age. Savanna arrives at the perfect moment, giving collectors and capybara lovers a soft, huggable version of the animal everyone is talking about.

All the details collectors love

Ty has built the Beanie Babies tradition on the little touches, and Savanna has them all. She stands around 15 cm, the classic Beanie Baby size that fits perfectly in a school bag, on a bookshelf or in a collector's display. Like every Beanie Baby, she comes with her own birthday, June 24, and her very own tag poem celebrating her love of playing in the rain. According to her poem, a rainy day is this capybara's idea of a perfect day, which feels exactly right for an animal famous for lounging in water.

Perfect for playtime, snuggles and collections

Savanna suits every kind of Beanie Baby fan. For younger children she is a soft companion for playtime and bedtime. For collectors she is a must-have addition from one of the most popular animal trends in years. And at $11.99, she makes an easy gift, a great birthday party present or a well-earned reward.
