Takama's Schleich Modern Wild Life

Mallard Duck

Mallards are very common water fowl thorough out the northern and southern hemisphere.

I don't know about the orange strip. This ostrich is a male like it is the other ostrich. No females. In Schleich, only ostriches with extra thoes and nails.
This one is the best Schleich ostrich of ever and with a beautiful pose. However, my choice was CollectA ostrich. :)
I also enjoy the work Schleich performes with mallards painting.

I like the duck. I was going to post Facts about them but im afraid I would get in trouble because most of the stuff I know about the duck comes from this not Kid appropriate video

Wolverine.

The Wolverine (believe it or not) is a big weasel, that's capable of taking down creatures many times its size like deer. they will also hunt other predators such as a lynx. Though it is a powerful creature. it still prefers to hunt smaller animals such as rabbits and mice.

Congrats! The duck doesn't seem to bad, I might get it. The orange stripe on the ostrich is probably just a factory flaw, or from another figure that rubbed against it.

Also phantastic mallard duck, ostrich and the best in my opinion- the wolverine    

My First Cat.  the Lynx

Eurasian Lynx.

This is the largest of the lynx species. like the Artic fox, they change color during the seasons. They prey on various animals ranging from small  creatures such as rabbits and squirrels, to Large ungulates  such as chamois and Deer (which they hunt a lot during the winter months when smaller creatures are less abundant)

A bobcat or Canada lynx would be more suitable for a North American Cittizen.   A nice female Eurasian lynx.

I moved the Ostrich walkaround here to include facts. I hope there accurate enough

Ostrich.  

when it comes to being the biggest bird in the world, The Ostrich has only a few competitors, and all are in the struthioforme category. The social behavior of an ostrich varies depending on the seasons. When its winter, they spend time either with a another ostrich or alone, and when its mating season, they will gather up in groups and move along with other herds of animals. Despite popular belief, they do not burry there heads in the ground like in some cartoons, but tuck there neck into there wings tom make it appear as a bush.

besides camouflage, they can also run away from danger, or latterly kick it away from them. An Ostrich's kick is very lethal, and is strong enough to affect a lion. not surprisingly, they are not common prey item for the king of the savanna.  












BTW does anyone know a different place to research animals online besides Wikipedia?

Great again:-)

Perhaps it would be a good idea for a Subject... "Links to good sites of info about animals" ???

PS, I tried National Geographics, but they make a lot of fuss...you have to be a member, and I HATE that  

Just in. a Gift from a Kind Crocodilian


Roe Deer

Roe Deer
Found in Scotland, Roe Deer are a small species of Deer, with the males being bigger then the females. they are distinguished by there three point antlers, and a really small tail. In summer, the males get highly aggressive due to it being the rutting season, and in winter there coats change to darker colors. They are also prey for Eurasian Lynx, and Humans, and are common roadside victims.











The Handsome Roebuck. Sorry about the tag, I plan on leaving it on for a while in honor of its original owner.

    I love the roebuck! Hopefully he is getting his female and baby in the future??
Yay for the good Kind Crocodilian!

I might seek the Female, unfortunately I decided not to adopt babys.s

Curiously, I keep it all these years with tag but I don't like tags.
If you ever want to keep a tag in honor to a crocodile, just do it with Safari tags, no others are allowed.

In that case, the buck is now tag free.   Though he and my lynx are not getting along well

Also great figurines    

IT is great to see a North American playing an European game.
Not easy to play hunting scenes with Schleich figures but that one almost worked.
