Prehistoric mammals - Show us yours- August 2015

Hello everybody.
So, my suggestion for [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] win :) And it is my honor to start this new topic.
I don`t have many of these models, but I`ll start with some of them for a beginning
and I`ll be very happy to see the models from all of you :)

Let`s start with my Smilodon by Kinto Favorite, present from Maria (Teardrop):

I`ll show my other models, when I make a good photos of them
Now I can`t wait to see your models :)

Great

Great topic, and great kitties

I am sorry for using old pictures. But here my Mojö Fun and Bullyland figures. The Smilodon is a production sample and has no markings at all, no brand name, year, etc.
It was a gift from James Connolly, manager of the company.
Hyaenodon and Daeodon were gifts from Susanne, she insisted I needed to have these tow and she was right as ever.
It was also Susanne who enriched my collection with the Bullyland prheistoric mammals, except the gompotherium that was a gift from Christophe.
I have some more and I'll show when possible.

Great to see these models Roger.
When you have a model, gift from the manager of the company..and it is even not marked..it makes this model much more special :)
Thank you for sharing these models with us.

Thank you too, Kosta!
Yes, it turns this smilodon more interesting as a collectible and as a bonus, it is a figure that I like very much.

YESSSS !!!

I think the Prehistoric mammal are some of the very best models that Bullyland has made

I am delighted to be able to prsent the series "Prehistoric Life" from Safari Ltd.

Theyare all marked 2004 or 2005, but unfortunately ar now retired except the adult mammuth and the smilodon.
As the range was narrowed, they became part of the Wild Safari Prehistoric World together with the inos etc.

Here you see them all, together with the Mammoth from the Carnegie Collection to compare size.

This last guy is a bit out of place  
He is not from the "Wild Safari Dinos" series, and he is not a real mammoth  
But he is one if my most cherished prehistoric models from Safari , and the Inostrancevia is from the family Gorgonopsidae, sometimes described as "Mammal-like reptiles"

Thanks Susanne! I love Schleich's prehistoric mammals too, especially Macrauchenias

It is so great to see your collection Susanne..and you start with realy nice Safari models :)
And great collection from Andrea, I realy like the Schleich Macrauchenia, so nice model ..maybe the best one for this animal, from all brands :)

Ohh, yes !   Macrauchenias are very special

This inspires me to show my three beloved mini-ones together :
[You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]

They are from left Lido, Safari Toob and a Made in Hong-Kong .
The grey ones are especially special to me, because they were gifts  
Tim gave me the Lido one and Roger gave me th H-K one      

Great Macrauchenia models Susanne :)

Susanne, great presentation of your Safaris! It makes me think where to put mammal ancestors? Here or maybe in a future thread? They're so nice and that inostrancevia is a very good candidat for one more exception in my collection. Is there any collector with more different macrauchenias then you? Actually, I got this HK figure with Yvette's help, in an EBAY lot, just because of a rubbery fox.
I am also impressed with Andrea's collection and I see that everyone shares with me a special admiration for Schleich macrauchenia. My favorite from that series. I have to show mine too!

Thankyou, Kosta and Roger

Great that you like that inostrancevia too

It could be fun and very interesting with such a topic !!! But perhaps difficult for people like me to contribute ...I already have a serious problem with the goats and "not-goats"

Becouse we talked about the mammal ancestors with Roger..are they fits good on this topic...
and I think, that you are absolutely right Roger, that they are Prehistoric mammals too :)
I asked Google, and he think`s the same

I feel some interest in including these animals and I think our forum as also an educational spirit.
We have two options. I can rename this topic and include these proto-mammals or open a new special topic at the middle of the month dedicated to them. Is not hard to determine if an animal belongs to these lineage. If we have doubts, we write the correct name of it at the English Wikipedia, and, in the part where it shows the taxonomic classification, usually under the main article picture, we only have to check if this animal belongs to a clade called synapsida. All mammals and proto-mammals are synapsids. Mammals belong to a class called mammalia, if the animal is a synapsid but doesn't belongs to mammalia class, it is a proto-mammal. I hope not to sound arrogant but who has doubts, one can make a little game, which of these 3 Bullyland releases doesn't represent a proto-mammal?
- dimetrodon, arizonasaurus or edaphosaurus?
You can also use this excellent page that our real expert, Christophe, created on Toy Animal Wiki!

I`m absolutely fine if you rename this topic .. :)
Let`s see what the other members think.. but will be nice to have also proto-mammal models in ``Show us..`` :)

Some Mesozoic mammals:

[You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]
Yujin Henkelotherium. A stem therian (closer to marsupials and placentals than to monotremes).

[You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]
Yowie Steropodon. A Cretaceous platypus.

[You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]
Yowie Kollikodon ("Hotcrossbunodon" is its nickname, a simultaneous pun and portmanteau because its teeth looked like hot cross buns, and are bunodont, meaning the crowns end in blunt tubercles rather than sharp crests). A Cretaceous monotreme which may or may not have looked like a giant platypus.

[You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]
Vivid Alphadon (Walking with Dinosaurs). A Cretaceous North American marsupial.

That's all I have, except for some other early mammal relatives like that wonderful Inostrancevia.

WOW ! Hali, they are fantastic

That Henkelotherium is out of this world
I did not know that there were prehistoric yowies, - and never saw  "prehistoric pltypusses" before  either
The Alphadon is such a lovely critter too !

A very warm welcome to you !  
I can see that you are already contributing to TAI also  

It could be fun if you will introduce yourself here [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]

Wow Halichoeres, how many wonderful and unusual species, I´ve never seen them before    Congrats and welcome here!    

Susanne, your collection is absolutely amazing!   What a diversity of species!  I have no words...  

Thank you both for the welcome! I'll go introduce myself on the relevant board...

@Susanne: great variety of Starlux pieces! Enough to inspire envy. Yes, Yowie made three series of "Lost Kingdoms" figures, I believe 110 in total. Now that I think of it, I have many more prehistoric mammals from that series, but I only actually collect Mesozoic things, so they quite slipped my mind. They are mostly Australian animals, so many are species that nobody else has made (like these monotremes!). Perhaps I will add some to the wiki!
