"He is the epitome of a big black bear even though gifted with a unique brown dense coat. This envied coat mixed with rich colours is painted as if by a skilled artist with a cream crescent-shaped marking on the chest. This unmistakable crescent moon shape found on the chest has led to this bear being called "moon bear of Tibet". These strong and fearless animals are a constant fascination to humans but never a threat. Their awesome power, intelligence and ability to avoid people rather than confront has won them great admiration. They have also won the appreciation of one of Steiff's designers who has excelled in his interpretation of this wonder from the animal kingdom. The finest brown alpaca has been used to capture the bear's impenetrable coat with cream alpaca for his distinctive "moon" chest. His expression is true to that of a heroic gentle giant."
