This is no ordinary plant.

Our ThinkGeek safari adventurers have returned from the deepest, darkest jungles of Japan with the most adorable primates we've ever seen. (Come to think of it, these little guys are too cute to have come from a deep dark jungle; are there even jungles in Japan?). Note to Self: Have the Accounting Department look into the travel expense reports from the Safari Team.

The Nyokki (named after the sound of a plant growing in Japan) are an egg-shaped species of primates cleverly adapted for living in the green environs of a jungle or in your home. Their lush rye grass hair acts as the perfect camouflage in the jungle and will add natural beauty to your desk or window sill.

Caring for these whimsical creatures is as simple as caring for a plant. Just have your kids add a sprinkle of water a day so it doesn’t dry out and let them grow. Please be sure that wee ones do not over water as they will get moldy. Once they start to sprout a few days later, put them closer to the sunlight and be amazed at how fast they grow. Within a week or two, your Nyokki will sprout a lovely head of green hair.

Nyokkis love nothing more than being groomed. Your geeklings can trim and style their green hair in a variety of ways. But, please use appropriate gardening implements and not your teeth, the rye grass is NOT edible.
