In 2 or 3 meters the hyena will laugh oneself to dead

Yes, when you're not typical collector and buy just what you like you can afford to be choosy

No, Torben! This picture is from the documentary hyänenkinder!

I think it will be nice someone put this hyena with the Schleich lion to comparison size!
I'm not a big fan of the Safari hyena looks like a prehistoric hyena, but I like the dirty looking! :)
Real ones to compare, this female is a matriarch and females are larger than males!
Don't worry Susanne, are only playing!:)

And that, boys and girls, is why HYENAS KICK ASS.

Safari white pelican, which specie is it?

Well, I'm not sure but I think it's a Great White Pelican

Chris named it American on his web page, Willy said Australian on CQ

Well, both the safari and Great White Pelican have black on the wing feather tips, you can only see the black when they have their wings open. But I'm not saying it is, Willy and Christophe are more likely to be right than me.

I think that Australian pelican is out of the picture, it has black back. So, American or Great white...

Why those two old and crazy guys don't agree about this pelican

Well maybe Willy chosed to named this model Australian because of the black coloured feathers... Like this one...

I decided myself for a American White Pelican because of the eyes ...

And also because of this...

So IMHO, it is an American White Pelican (Pelecanus erythrorhynchos)

Yes, the skin around the eyes says it's American, thanks Chris. Now when I'm sure which one is it, I'm not interested any more...

OMG! I thought I had learned it all when I found out there is a brown pelican

BTW, - where is our old friend Willy ????
No stacks of figueres lately

Oh, late in the topic!
When we were discussing the new Papo I was also very confused and I concluded that my Safari pelican was an American White pelican too!
Last time I talked with Willy he said that he was very busy! I hope to see him here soon, and so many time without posting, next time he will show a complete Zoo!:)

Once I touched one of those great white pelicans... It was so silky and soft! I like pelicans so much, it´s a pity we don´t have many of them where I live.

Well Robert, it certainly doesn't look like the Great White Pelican. I obviously didn't look closely, they're pinky coloured - in which case I agree with Christophe!

But Papo bird really looks like Great White, so I'll wait untill it's available

I alway think is American White Pelican or Great White and never appear to me is Australian

Same question but different bird - Safari flamingo, Caribbean or Greater?

American, Robert! Unfortunately for you it is a Caribean flamingo, unless someone with different opinion turn it in a Greater, but you can always make a nice paintwork and change it like I told for the CollectA spoonbill!you :)

What makes it Caribbean and not Greater?

The greater is paler than the Safari! And Safari has some preference for American species, don't know why???

That doesn't have to be true, their color depends on their diet - the amount of alpha and beta carotenoid pigments.

Is there any physical difference between them, beside color?
