Ganz Reveals "Blue Batik Elephant" On Their Facebook Page

In recognition of Autism Awareness Day, Ganz posted a picture on their Facebook page of a Blue Googles, Hippo, and Splash Dragon lined up on a desk. Amongst them was an elephant that has never been seen before:
It uses the base design of the Batik Elephant, but this fellow is blue, and has daisy patterns. Normally, new Webkinz are revealed 2-3 months ahead on Webkinz Newz, however, there has been no word about this pet, making it one of the most quietly revealed Webkinz there is.

Speculation time!
  • Beta design of the Batik Elephant, that they kept?
  • Autism Awareness mascot at Ganz HQ?
  • Really clever use of Photoshop?
  • A personal project of one of the seamstresses?
  • A pet available only to the staff?
  • A Webkinz pet that will come to stores in the Fall?
Guess away!

April is Autism Awareness Month!
Some facts about autism:
-1 in 54 boys are affected as opposed to 1 in 252 girls.
-it is more common than cystric fibrosis, muscular dystrophy, Downs Syndrome, juvenile diabetes, childhood cancer, cerebral palsy, and pediatric AIDS--combined.
-Prevalence is estimated at 1 in 88 births.

A few other ways to spread awareness in Webkinz World:
~Run around with a blue or rainbow pet and/or dress your pet in blue
~Get a blue or rainbow pet and name it Autism Awareness
~You can join Autism Awareness parades in the Kinzville Park, being organized at Webkinz Insider. (you can also find a lot more information on the subject there.)
