2016 South American Wildlife from all brands - Updated 3rd January

Ha yes I realise that we on the forum named it Chilean Flamingo....I am surprised Schleich know that any other animal exists anyway other than bears, cats, wolves, pelicans and elephants lol

Schleich flamingo, Safari spoonbill and Papo puma are in my wish list!

Papo flamingo added

I don't think that Schleich really did named their flamingo, it were dome of us because it looks like a chilean, I think that Schleich doesn't even know that there are flamingoes in South America because it's in their African section.

Absolutely right

But at least they realized there are flamingos. :)

:lol:Schleich is really a unusual company, in their website, on flamingo's page, they identify it as a Chilean flamingo and they even know that it is a South American animal as we can see here! If they use it in their catalogue in African section, it means that it was probably planned to be a generic looking flamingo and they only figured later that their work was actually based in the South American bird. Nevertheless, I like the mistake!

Could someone please help me identifying the species of the Papo red poison dart frog?

I guess it is a Silverstone's poison frog (Ameerega silverstonei)

Thanks Christophe! I think colors match it and once it uses the same mold as other Papo frog figures, it is normal that it is smooth and not granular on dorsal parts. You're really good with these colorful frogs! Will add it on TAI.

It is too bad Papo doesn't change the mold. I will probably buy it because it is a new species but I would be happier with a more realistic shape.

Fortunately using the same mold to different species is not common anymore. Papo did it with these frogs but it was the exception that confirms a new rule.
