Teetersaw's 'Food Chain Friends' are an adorable set of plush toys designed to help parents teach kids about the ecosystem in a fun way. The Food Chain Friends come from a planet called Daro, which is oddly similar to Earth except its wildlife is social and gracious in its communal understanding of the ecosystem.
There are two lines of the Teetersaw 'Food Chain Friends,' the Alpha series and the Beta series. Each features a different group of cute-but-ugly species; the Alpha animals live on the prairie, while the Beta animals live in the forest.
Family Fun Magazine and TD Monthly have named the Teetersaw 'Food Chain Friends' their Best Toys of 2008 and 2008 Top Toy Award, respectively. The plushies are available at FAO Schwartz or at the Teetersaw website (see Read More URL).
