❃ The surubí tigre, commonly known as the tiger shovelnose catfish (Pseudoplatystoma tigrinum), is a striking freshwater predator native to South America's Amazon and Orinoco river basins. Its elongated body is marked with bold, dark stripes and intricate patterns reminiscent of a tiger's coat, while its broad, flattened snout gives it a distinctive shovel-like appearance. Built for life in vast tropical river systems, this remarkable catfish combines an unmistakable appearance with the instincts of a formidable hunter.

❃ Beneath its striking markings lies a highly specialized predator. The surubí tigre uses its long, sensitive barbels to detect prey and navigate murky waters where visibility is limited. Primarily feeding on other fish, it relies on its powerful jaws, keen senses, and sudden bursts of speed to capture unsuspecting prey. Its tiger-like pattern and specialized sensory adaptations make it one of South America's most fascinating freshwater hunters.

❃ Exclusively created for Gage Beasley's Specimen Registry, this limited-edition plush brings the surubí tigre's distinctive anatomy and striking patterns into focus. Carefully designed with lifelike details, it captures the character of a remarkable river predator—from its elongated silhouette and shovel-shaped snout to the intricate markings that inspired its name. A tribute to the extraordinary diversity of freshwater life, this specimen transforms one of South America's most elusive catfish into a creature worth discovering up close.

When It Arrives

Your plush travels inside our satchel, and some designs may be vacuum-sealed to keep them protected and compact during their journey. Don’t worry if yours looks a little flattened when first unpacked — the filling is designed to bounce back and simply needs a little time and fluffing to take its full shape.

Bringing it back to form:

1. Remove it from the packaging as soon as it arrives — don’t leave it packed.

2. Give it a good fluff — gently knead the body and work the limbs, wings, ears, or tail to redistribute the filling.

3. Let it breathe. Most plush regain their full shape within 1–3 days, while larger or denser designs can take up to a week.

4. Smooth any flattened or creased fur with your fingers or a soft brush as it fluffs back up.

5. Want to speed things up? Use a hairdryer on low, warm heat, held about 20cm away. Keep it moving and use short bursts between fluffs. Never use high heat.

Plush make this journey every day and naturally bounce back after being unpacked. If yours still isn’t looking like itself after a week, write to us at support@gagebeasleyshop.com and we’ll make it right.

Care: Spot clean only. Do not soak.

Customer photo review of Golden Redtail Catfish Soft Stuffed Plush Toy

I had to buy the gold version of the red tail catfish. I’m really pleased with him. The products are excellent quality and it’s great that you can buy plushies of creatures not made by any other company.
