Okapi 2011 Safari Ltd Wildlife Wonders

Absolutely amazing. MY favourite animals has finally been made in a nice large size, I am going to buy FOUR of these!

One thing though, I dont like the black ring around the eyes! Why have they done this? Cant we ask Safari to remove the black ring like we did for the Indian Rhino in the smaller range?

I got. I got. I got. Thank you for your great photos and convincing me.

Yes, I don't like that ring either, but it can easily be painted out. Have you noticed the Safari white rhino has that funny ring too.

Safari LTD, PLEASE, make more animals for the wonderful Wildlife Wonders series!!!!!!

There are already 3 big cats in WW, elephants too, one rhino also. Diversity, my friend... Wildebeest deserves to be in WW series, Africa largely depends on these creatures. Bonobo is ok but I would rather put it in Incredible creatures

The Brainless Rats of the Serengeti??? I totally disagree with you! Wildebeests aren´t brainless rats!
There is a lot of rhinos and elephants and bears... I want something new!

exactly

Well, I'm not an enthusiast of this series! :) Anyway why don't you ask for an Indian gaur, the 2nd most wanted in Mojoo poll? ...and it is a huge animal, it would work very nice in WW series!:)

I'm very glad to know that Homo sapiens is not in top 10, mainly knowing that they haven't tested me! :)
