Californian Condor 2009 Safari Ltd Wings of the World

... I did know some information about Andes Condor... But there is one more Californian Condor! ... The annotation on the brand label: "Because the California condor is endagered, scientists raise condors in captivity and then release them into the wild. Today, there are more than 120 (??!!)  condors living in California, Arizona and Mexico.

...original bird-prototype...

Thanks girls! I can say - I love birds with with extended wings! I, ll want to get some more eagles, vultures and others...
BTW yes Susanne - stoneage man is from Papo.

Congratulation Sergey, a very nice model I still have to buy. I only own the smaller Safari toob one

Great Sergey! The Safari Californian condor is one of the figures in my top10 wish list! Number 1 of birds!!!
It's quite interesting since the Bullyland condor is an Andean and the old Schleich is also an Andean! I donnot have the Schleich, is very rare!

California condors' definitely are a prehistoric looking bird! As I mentioned before, I would love to see a Merriam's Teratorn!

BTW Balti! Was condors in the Stone (Ice) age? I think yes?

Yes, I know they're a throwback from the Pleistocene.

Gorgeous model, aren't condors awesome? Why there aren't more models of them I don't know... the only other one I know is the tiny Nayab cheapo I've got.
