The enduring popularity of gummy bears proved that a sweet becomes considerably more appealing when somebody gives it ears, paws and a cheerful expression. Since then, sweet makers have expanded into practically every part of the animal kingdom.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003ePopular animal-related sweets can include:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGummy bears and teddy bear sweets\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDolphin, shark, fish and octopus sweets\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePenguin and meerkat-shaped gummies\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFizzy snakes and jelly worms\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSpider and insect-inspired sweets\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFrogs, crocodiles and turtles\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUnicorns and other imaginary animals\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDinosaur-shaped jelly and gummy sweets\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFarmyard and jungle animal sweets\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFoam, gummy, fizzy and sugar-coated animal shapes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe appeal is not merely visual.

They can be enjoyed alone, combined with other gummy animals or used to create woodland, teddy-bear and children’s party themes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eBears may be the established stars of the collection, but the supporting cast has become increasingly ambitious. Dolphins, sharks, crocodiles, frogs, fish and turtles all bring their own shapes, colours and personalities to the sweet bowl. It is possibly the only ecosystem in which everything is made better by a fizzy coating.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eMeerkat and Penguin Sweets\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eSome animals possess a natural talent for becoming sweets.
