Toyah has now been auctioned, raising an amazing £5,000! With the entire event raising £800,000!
Toyah will now be moving to her new home in Italy.
We have thoroughly enjoyed being a part of Jungle City - a wonderful and fun way to raise awareness and vital funds to help protect some of the world's most endangered animals.
Congratulations Elephant Family!

And here is Toyah, looking striking, on Edinburgh's Royal Mile - appropriately placed outside the Museum of Childhood!
She is certainly attracting lots of attention and getting lots of hugs and kisses (literally) from passes by!
She will be auctioned, along with all the other 130 animals, in late September, in aid of Asia's endangered animals.
We'll keep you posted ...

Toyah, the Like Clockwork orangutan, is now on display, along with 130 other brightly painted animals, in the Royal Botanical Gardens in Edinburgh. They look fantastic in amongst all the greenery!
The animals will be moving on 5th September to new homes on the streets of Edinburgh before being auctioned. Toyah will be located on the Royal Mile where we look forward to paying her another visit.
Keep checking back for more photos and news of Toyah as she hits the streets of Edinburgh.

Introducing Toyah, the Like Clockwork orangutan. We think she's fabulous!
Toyah will be displayed in Edinburgh this summer along with 130 other life size sculptures of some the planet's most endangered species.
This event, Jungle City (www.jungle-city.org), is the latest venture by our favourite charity, Elephant Family (www.elephantfamily.org)
The animals will all be auctioned at the end of September, the proceeds of which will go towards securing much needed habitat for these fabulous Asian animals.
Toyah is pictured here with her amazingly talented designer and artist, Nilesh Mistry.
Like Clockwork are delighted to be participating in Jungle City and are sure Toyah will bring a smile to the faces of all who visit her this summer!
