THE WATER MONKEY · leaps for prey
A Series of Laugh and Grow
Real animals, reimagined plump and cheerful — painted in lifelike detail, sculpted impossibly cute.
Chubby & Full of Character
Rounded, soft and undeniably cute — yet every scale, wrinkle and marking is hand-painted true to the real animal. The reaction it gets in person is always the same: so detailed, and so adorable.
Ready to Display
A single, sturdy hand-painted piece — no assembly, no fuss. Set it on a desk or shelf and it holds its happy pose, ready to collect and show off.
A living silver ribbon at the water’s surface, the silver arowana is the Amazon’s great leaper. It can hurl its whole body out of the water to pluck insects, spiders and even small birds from overhanging branches — a talent that earned it the nickname ‘water monkey.’
The Great Leaper
Silver arowanas can launch several feet into the air to seize prey from branches above the water, a spectacular hunting leap that few other fish can match.
A Swimming Ribbon
Its long, flattened, silvery body and rippling fins let it hover just beneath the surface and turn on a dime — a graceful shape rounded here into a plump, gleaming figure.
A Mouth Full of Young
Like its Asian cousins, the silver arowana is a mouthbrooder, sheltering its developing eggs and fry inside the parent’s mouth until they are ready to swim free.
Barbels Like Whiskers
Two small barbels on its chin sense movement at the surface, helping this hunter detect the ripples of prey in the dim, flooded forests it calls home.
