About Niska
Somewhere beneath the waves lives a gentle little sea soul... and her name is Niska. Niska has a heart as calm as the ocean on a sunny day and a love that's as deep as the sea. Once she knows she's safe, she'll happily swim right into your heart and become your tiny little barnacle—sticking by your side everywhere you go! Whether you're making dinner, watching TV, or simply walking from room to room, Niska's favourite place will always be wherever you are. When she hears her people but can't be with them, she'll let out the sweetest little "where's my crew?" cries because life is simply…
