Turtle baby

I’m not really sure what this is, but it lives on my desk. Is it a turtle? A frog? Why does it have hair??

It has long legs like a frog, but the plaid “shell” on the back makes me think it might be a turtle.

This was made in Japan & it’s about 5 inches tall. Made out of fabric, stuffed with sawdust, glued to a pice of wood, and I don’t know what it is.

Any guesses?

    Totally insane whatever it is! The way the body is all twisted, the fitting of the clothese on the body, those completely crazy eyeballs, that tiki hut hairdo, all completely wacko. From the face alone I’d almost guess it was a baby chicken. Then I thought it was baby chick. I definitely don’t see turtle. But those amphibious hands and feet do make me ultimately vote for frog. But then why wouldn’t it be green?
