Trivia[]

  • Moral Region has also released other different versions of the toy itself including a hamster, a snowman (called Boli), a rabbit, a panda, and what looks like a penguin version with a brown hat and ears. Each version of the toy had its own name. It is unknown if the penguin version was released.
  • Some Spanish versions of Hibou can lack bowties or a separate color for their stomach area.
  • Some Russian Hibous released by S+S Toys lack bowties.
  • Some Hibous in Russia were released under the name Kakadu Friends.
  • The Hamster version of Hibou has been advertised under the name Clever Pet Hibou Electronic.
  • The panda version of Hibou has been released under the name Apo instead of Hibou. This panda version of Hibou which was sold only under the name Apo can only speak Spanish. The Hibou logo is nowhere to be seen on its box.
    • Although, this version when it was distribuited to certain countries like Spain came with a tag with the Hibou logo and manual on the back. This version of Apo could also come inside a box that belongs to regular Hibous, and not Apo's exclusive box.
