Yes, Neo-Form , Danolin and Nordlyset were little compagnies started I Denmark just after the war, - they copied Lineol and some Elastolin models.

Nordlyset is almost unknown now, but Neo-Form is especially famous for a range of beautyful dinosaurs.
They were madly expensive at the time, and were mainly sold to school, so these days they are among the most expensive vintage dino models of all.

Thank you :)

Ahhh... cape! So is a cape buffalo a type of water buffalo? I was searching for images of the difference which looks like the cape has the horns that come out on top of the head like giant eyebrows...but both versions are popping up in both searches as water buffalo.

Well, actually, cape buffaloes are a species, not a kind of water buffalo. Cape buffaloes have a wig like horns, and water buffaloes have roll horns. Another thing... Cape buffaloes are from South and Western Africa, and water buffaloes are from India, Philippines, Rindja (Indonesia), and Indochina (where they were domesticated). Here are others:
Water buffalo Bubalus bubalis, cape buffalo Syncerus caffer
Water buffalo 48 chromosomes, cape buffalo 50 chromosomes
Water buffalo's predators are Tigers, striped hyenas and komodo dragon. While cape buffalo's predators are lion, african painted dogs and crocodiles.
Water buffalo is light grey, but cape buffalo is dark brown.

Interesting! Thanks!
