You'll go ape for Cheeks. He was born on May 18, 1999. His poem reads:
Don't confuse me with an ape
I have a most unusual shape
My cheeks are round and tie-dyed red
On my behind as well as my head.
Cheeks was crafted with amazing attention to detail. His fur is a mottled brown and black. His four hands are brown as well as his ears and pronounced brow. The nose is pink and very lifelike, but as his name implies, his cheeks are what set him apart: his muzzle is bright red with sky blue and black stripes on either side. His bottom is also made of colorful tie-dyed fabric surrounding his sweet little tail. Surface wash only. --Peggy Etra
