The giraffes (Giraffa), are a genus of mammals from the order of even-toed ungulates. Originally, only one species was assigned to it with Giraffa camelopardalis and the trivial name "giraffe". However, molecular genetic studies from 2016 and 2020 show that the genus comprises at least three species with ten independent populations, one of which is extinct. Giraffes are the tallest land-dwelling animals in the world. They are also called steppe giraffes to distinguish them from the related okapi (so-called "forest giraffe"). Giraffes are common in African savannahs. Today they only live south of the Sahara, mainly in the grass steppes of East and South Africa. The populations north of the Sahara were wiped out early by humans: during early antiquity in the Nile Valley and around the 7th century in the coastal plains of Morocco and Algeria. In the 20th century, giraffes disappeared from many more areas of their range. As early as the Bubalus period between 10,000 and 6,000 BC, the giraffe was depicted with astonishing detail along with other large game on rock paintings in what is now the Sahara.In Ancient Egypt, giraffes were regarded as oracular beings with shamanic traits. According to Egyptian folk belief, giraffes warned humans and animals of dangerous predators and storms. This belief goes back to the giraffe's ability to recognise conspecifics and predators at an early stage because of its size and sharp eyes. The Egyptian word used for giraffe depictions is ser(u) and means "to spy", "to look into the distance", but also (symbolically) "to predict".Product Number: A00081Product Name: GiraffeThis design comes with the following sizes:Size: 3.24"(w) X 3.95"(h) (82.3 X 100.3mm) Size: 3.83"(w) X 4.74"(h) (97.2 X 120.3mm) Size: 4.46"(w) X 5.52"(h) (113.4 X 140.3mm) Size: 5.42"(w) X 6.70"(h) (137.6 X 170.3mm) Size: 6.31"(w) X 7.81"(h) (160.2 X 198.3mm) The following formats are included in the file you will receive: .DST .EXP .JEF .PES .VP3 .XXX .VIP .HUSYou MUST have an embroidery machine and the software needed to transfer it from your computer to the machine to use this file.

A fox is a representative of the dog family (Canidae). In German usage, this usually means the red fox, more generally the genus group of the true foxes. The word fox has its origin in the Middle High German term vuhs for the male red fox (Canis vulpes). The related vocabulary fuhs (Old High German), vos (Dutch) and fox (English) are synonymous. The feminine form of the word changed from Old High German voha to Middle High German vohe, Gothic faúho, and Old Icelandic foa. The word Fähe, which in hunter and biologist language refers to female red foxes in particular and female canids in general, also has its origin in the Old High German feminine form.The totality of species trivially referred to as "foxes" is not a closed descent community (clade), but a group of more or less closely related species and genera of dogs, which through convergent evolution resemble each other externally to a greater or lesser extent (polyphyly). The similarities of all these taxa are, however, exhausted in a rather small growth, mostly rather short legs and a bushy tail. Many, especially tropical representatives are also characterized by relatively large ears. Traditionally, species referred to as "foxes" are found in two genus groups of the dog family: the true foxes (Vulpini) and their sister group, the true dogs (Canini).According to current kinship analyses based on DNA comparisons, these traditionally held generic groups are also not closed ancestral communities. Instead, the "foxes" are distributed among three clades: a gray fox clade, a red fox clade, and a clade of exclusively South American wild dogs.Product Number: EA00009Product Name: FreeThis design comes with the following sizes:Size: 10.10"(w) X 7.79"(h) (256.6 X 197.8mm) The following formats are included in the file you will receive: .DST .EXP .JEF .PES .VP3 .XXX .VIP .HUSYou MUST have an embroidery machine and the software needed to transfer it from your computer to the machine to use this file.

The bears (Ursidae) are a family of mammals from the order of carnivores (Carnivora). In distinction to the small bears (Procyonidae) they are also called big bears or real bears. The family includes eight species and belongs to the superfamily of canines. The bears resemble each other in physique. Their body is massive and stocky, the head is large, and the limbs are rather short and very strong. The eyes are small, the ears round and erect. The usually elongated snout houses 40 or 42 teeth, depending on the species. The feet end in five toes with non-retractable claws.All bears are sole-walkers, with the soles of the feet usually hairy; only species that often climb trees, such as the Malayan bears, have bare soles. The tail is only a small stub. The fur is rather long and in most species is a solid color, usually brown or black. Exceptions are the giant panda with its striking black and white coat pattern and the white polar bear. In several species, a light-colored fur marking may be present on the chest or face. Body weight varies from 25 to 800 kilograms, with males always significantly heavier than females. Head-torso length is 100 to 280 centimeters.Bears today are native to Eurasia and America, although they inhabit only the northwestern part of South America. In Western and Central Europe today there are only relict occurrences. No bears live in Africa today; the Atlas bear, a subspecies of brown bear in the Atlas Mountains of North Africa, became extinct in the 19th century. Bears are generalists about habitat, inhabiting a variety of habitats from polar regions to grasslands to tropical rainforests. Only very dry areas are avoided.Product Number: E00109Product Name: BearThis design comes with the following sizes:Size: 3.64"(w) X 2.13"(h) (92.4 X 54.2mm) Size: 4.72"(w) X 2.78"(h) (120.0 X 70.6mm) Size: 5.81"(w) X 3.43"(h) (147.7 X 87.0mm)The following formats are included in the file you will receive: .DST .EXP .JEF .PES .VP3 .XXX .HUS .VIPYou MUST have an embroidery machine and the software needed to transfer it from your computer to the machine to use this file.

Rabbits are several genera and species of the hare family (Leporidae); they belong to the mammals. The rabbits are not a systematic group (taxon), because some species not closely related are called rabbits, in addition to the wild and domestic rabbits. Latin cuniculus (ancient Greek kóniklos) Old French conin, Middle Low German kanin & kaninchen (East Middle German caninichen) rabbit. Rabbit derives via Old French conin from Latin cuniculus, meaning "rabbit," but also "underground passage" or "tunnel," which comes from the fact that rabbits dig tunnels in the ground and make underground burrows.The Greek Polybios, in the middle of the second century BC, refers to the rabbit as cuniculus. The origin of the word cuniculus is very controversial. It is possible that the Romans took it from the Iberians or Ligurians (as a non-Indo-European loanword); this is the opinion of the Roman writer Pliny, for example. The Latin word cuniculus would then be a so-called cultural wandering word, which the Romans would have taken over together with the animal (which they did not know and only got to know in Spain).Others derive conin and cuniculus from a Gaulish form of the word kuniko (which has only been discovered, not handed down), which would be derived from Indo-Germanic kuon "dog" (Greek kyon, Latin canis). The country of Spain owes its name to rabbits. These reminded the Phoenicians on their sea voyages of the - unrelated - sheepskin (Phoenician shaban) in their homeland. Therefore, they called the country Ishapan, which the Romans changed to Hispania.Product Number: E00115Product Name: BunniesThis design comes with the following sizes:Size: 3.53"(w) X 3.64"(h) (89.6 X 92.5mm) Size: 4.58"(w) X 4.74"(h) (116.4 X 120.3mm) Size: 7.05"(w) X 7.29"(h) (179.0 X 185.2mm)The following formats are included in the file you will receive: .DST .EXP .JEF .PES .VP3 .XXX .VIP .HUSYou MUST have an embroidery machine and the software needed to transfer it from your computer to the machine to use this file.

Halloween (from All Hallows' Eve, the evening before All Saints' Day) designates the folk customs on the evening and night before the Solemnity of All Saints' Day, from October 31 to November 1. This custom was originally prevalent primarily in Catholic Ireland. Irish immigrants to the United States maintained and expanded their customs in memory of their homeland. In the course of the Irish Renaissance after 1830, early folkloristic literature assumed a continuity of Halloween customs since Celtic times and references to pagan and Celtic traditions such as the Samhain festival. Since the 1990s, Halloween customs in their U.S. form have also spread to continental Europe.There are clear regional differences. In the German-speaking countries in particular, local customs such as ghosting turnips or Traulicht were mixed with Halloween, and traditional pumpkin-growing regions such as Styria or the Spreewald quickly adopted Halloween.  The origin story of the feast day All Saints' Day goes back to a feast of all the holy martyrs celebrated on May 13, the consecration day of the church Sancta Maria ad martyres in Rome, when Pope Boniface IV consecrated the Pantheon, a temple dedicated to all the Roman gods, to the Virgin Mary and all the holy martyrs in 609 or 610.Pope Gregory III consecrated a chapel in the Basilica of St. Peter to all the saints over a hundred years later, setting the feast day for the city of Rome on November 1; Gregory IV adopted this feast date into the Roman general calendar. The religious anthropologist Sir James Frazer described Halloween in his standard work The Golden Bough (in the 1922 edition) as an "ancient pagan festival of the dead with a thin Christian covering"; in addition to the spring festival Beltane on May 1 (Walpurgis Night), it was the second important festival of the Celts. It is proved since the 8th century, when Christian synods tried to abolish such pagan rites.Product Number: N03033Product Name: catThis design comes with the following sizes:Size: 1.70"(w) X 1.96"(h) (43.2 X 49.8mm) Size: 2.57"(w) X 2.94"(h) (65.4 X 74.6mm) Size: 3.39"(w) X 3.92"(h) (86.2 X 99.6mm) Size: 4.09"(w) X 4.72"(h) (104.0 X 119.8mm) Size: 5.81"(w) X 6.67"(h) (147.5 X 169.4mm)The following formats are included in the file you will receive: .DST .EXP .JEF .PES .VP3 .XXX .VIP .HUSYou MUST have an embroidery machine and the software needed to transfer it from your computer to the machine to use this file.

The swans (Cygnus) are a genus of ducks (Anatidae). Within this family they are classified as geese (Anserinae). Swans are the largest of all duck birds. Because of the pure white plumage of the European species (formerly Latin Cygnus albus "White Swan") and impressive size, they have entered into numerous myths and fairy tales.The genus Cygnus comprises six or seven species, depending on the taxonomic view (the status of the Lesser White Swan Cygnus bewickii, which many ornithologists regard as a subspecies of the Whistling Swan, is disputed), four of which have a high northern range: They breed in the Arctic tundra and migrate to the temperate zone in winter. The Mute Swan is now distributed worldwide in temperate zones, but had its origin in the Palearctic.Two species originate from the southern hemisphere: the Mourning Swan from Australia and the Black-necked Swan from South America. Another species, the New Zealand swan, was wiped out as early as the 16th or 17th century. The Koskoroba swan, also called a swan but belonging to a different genus, also lives in South America. The swans' habitat is swamps, shallow lakes and slow-flowing rivers. The bottom must always be accessible by digging, so waters that are too deep are unsuitable for swans.Product Number: A00440Product Name: SwanThis design comes with the following sizes:Size: 3.98"(w) X 3.85"(h) (101.2 X 97.8mm) Size: 4.74"(w) X 4.61"(h) (120.4 X 117.2mm) Size: 5.53"(w) X 5.39"(h) (140.4 X 136.8mm) Size: 6.71"(w) X 6.54"(h) (170.4 X 166.0mm) Size: 7.85"(w) X 7.65"(h) (199.4 X 194.2mm)The following formats are included in the file you will receive: .DST .EXP .JEF .PES .VP3 .XXX .VIP .HUSYou MUST have an embroidery machine and the software needed to transfer it from your computer to the machine to use this file.

Soccer is a ball sport in which two teams compete against each other with the goal of scoring more goals than their opponents to win the game. The game is usually played for two 45-minute periods, plus overtime and, if necessary, extra time and/or penalties. A team usually consists of eleven players, one of whom is the goalkeeper. The ball may be played with the whole body except the arms and hands; it is mainly kicked with the foot. Only the goalkeeper (inside his own penalty area) - or the field players when taking a throw-in - may touch the ball with their hands.The success of soccer is based, firstly, on its simplicity. The cost of resources and equipment is relatively low (see, for example, street soccer), which has made it very popular in many developing countries, and it is easy for newcomers and spectators to understand or even take for granted. Secondly, the number of goals is relatively low, which increases the value of a goal and makes the games more exciting, since superior or better-placed teams do not win as often or can be determined as winners early on as in other ball sports.However, these special features have been counteracted in recent times by more complicated regulations (including changes to the offside rule) and ever greater (technical) expense in top-level soccer (including video evidence), which are intended to lead to "fairer" soccer.Soccer originated in Great Britain in the second half of the 19th century and spread to continental Europe and other continents from the 1880s and 1890s. It is considered the world's most popular team sport. Unlike other sports (such as handball), top clubs in soccer usually developed only in large cities, which can boast the very elaborate infrastructure with recently increasing demands.Product Number: N03785Product Name: SoccerThis design comes with the following sizes:Size: 3.63"(w) X 4.74"(h) (92.2 X 120.3mm) Size: 4.24"(w) X 5.52"(h) (107.6 X 140.3mm) Size: 5.14"(w) X 6.70"(h) (130.6 X 170.3mm) Size: 6.02"(w) X 7.85"(h) (152.8 X 199.3mm)The following formats are included in the file you will receive: .DST .EXP .JEF .PES .VP3 .XXX .VIP .HUSYou MUST have an embroidery machine and the software needed to transfer it from your computer to the machine to use this file.

Christmas, also called Christmastime called the Feast of Christmas or the Feast of the Holy Christ, is the feast of the birth of Jesus Christ in Christianity. The feast day is December 25, Christmas Day, also known as the Solemnity of the Nativity of the Lord (Latin: Sollemnitas in nativitate Domini), the celebrations of which begin on the evening before Christmas Eve (also Christmas Eve, Christmas Night, Chrismastime). December 25 is a public holiday in many states. In Germany, Austria, the Netherlands, Switzerland and many other countries, December 26 is added as a second Christmas holiday, which is also celebrated as St. Stephen's Day.Christmas is usually celebrated with family or friends and with giving gifts to each other. In German-speaking and some other countries, gifts are usually given in the evening on December 24 and are considered the most prominent part of the Christmas celebration. In English-speaking countries, gifts are usually given on the morning of Christmas Day. The gift-giving ritual refers to mythical gift-bringers such as the Christ Child or Santa Claus, some of whom are also played. Such rites, like the festival as a whole, serve to strengthen family relationships. Many countries associate other customs of their own with Christmas. Attending a church service on Christmas Eve, the night or morning of December 25 is part of the festive tradition for many people.In Western Christianity, Christmas is one of the three main festivals of the church year, along with Easter and Pentecost. As a church holiday, December 25 is documented since 336 in Rome. It is not clear how this date came about.Emperor Aurelian had set December 25, 274, as an empire-wide feast day for the Roman sun god Sol Invictus; early Christians drew parallels between this sun god and "Christ, the true sun" (Christus verus Sol). The custom of giving presents to children at Christmas in the way that is customary today dates back to the Biedermeier period and was initially restricted to upper middle-class circles, because only they had the living room, which was used like a stage, at their disposal, could afford a private Christmas tree, and could choose children's gifts from the increasingly diverse assortment of toys.

The deer (Cervidae) or antlers are a family of mammals from the order of the cloven-hoofed animals (Artiodactyla). The family includes more than 80 species, of which, among others, the red deer, the fallow deer, the roe deer, the reindeer and the elk are also common in Europe. In addition, deer are found in Asia, North and South America and with one representative in Africa. The most distinctive feature of the deer are the antlers, which vary in shape and are usually only worn by the males, which are shed annually and formed anew. The main food of the animals consists of plants, whereby soft and hard plant parts are consumed in varying degrees. However, pure grazers as in horned deer do not occur in deer, which is related to the formation of the antlers. The social behavior of the animals varies greatly, ranging from solitary individuals to the formation of large, widely roaming herds. The reproductive phase is marked by characteristic dominance fights. The phylogeny of deer dates back to the Lower Miocene, about 20 million years ago. Deer also flowed into mythology and culture in a wide variety of peoples. Already in Paleolithic rock drawings both animals and persons are depicted with deer antlers. In Celtic mythology, Cernunnos represents an embodiment of the "deer god," a type also found in other religions. In ancient Greece, the stag was sacred to Artemis, the goddess of hunting. Agamemnon killed such a hind in Aulis, whereupon Artemis sent a wind still and demanded Agamemnon's eldest daughter Iphigenia as an atoning sacrifice. Another sacred hind was the Kerynite hind, which had golden antlers and lived in Arcadia. Heracles had to catch her alive as the third task. Norse mythology also knows deer, so four of these animals eat the buds of the world ash tree Yggdrasil.Product Number: E00084Product Name: DeerThis design comes with the following sizes:Size: 3.54"(w) X 3.91"(h) (90.0 X 99.3mm) Size: 4.99"(w) X 6.47"(h) (126.7 X 164.3mm) Size: 7.68"(w) X 9.80"(h) (195.1 X 248.9mm)The following formats are included in the file you will receive: .DST .EXP .JEF .PES .VP3 .XXX .VIP .HUSYou MUST have an embroidery machine and the software needed to transfer it from your computer to the machine to use this file.
