| Oh my heavens I nearly had a heart attack looking at this. A blue footed booby, alligator, howler monkey, husky, kookaburra, whitetail buck, fjord horse, squid (anyone know if its a humbolt?), monkey (anyone for species?), and feathered trex! Oh and goodness, is that a hobbit? Simply exciting! Thank you Takama! _________________ -"I loathe people who keep dogs.

| Yes, it does look very similar, but in my opinion the face is a bit more correct for a deer. The papo one is lovely in its own right, but the muzzle is a little too narrow. I still can't get over the hobbit... What an exciting year it will be. _________________ -"I loathe people who keep dogs.

| Oh, I was just ready to post it but how lucky I am that you did the job already! First, it is a very beautiful presentation picture. Safari keeps introducing unusual species like the booby, squirrel and howler monkey, for instance. I love the white-tailed deer although I agree it is very close to Papo's design. I also don't understand very much why they are releasing it once their newer family is very good and recent. ... or is it a mule deer specifically? Well, I think it is now my favorite, pose is very natural. A feathered T-rex is a good idea too but I suspect I don't like its pose. Watching again, both monkeys just look impressive and there is also a smiling gator. |

| It shouldn't be a mule deer, the color, and ears, and antlers are completely wrong. Mule deer tend to be more gray in color compared to whitetails, their antlers branch more upwards making them taller generally, and the ears are supposed to look like small satellite dishes on either side of their head. To me it looks like safari is redoing their already great whitetail family, if they are selling these as mule deer then I'd be disappointed. _________________ -"I loathe people who keep dogs.

No, don't be disappointed , I also think it is a white-tail, I was just trying to understand the reason why a new buck was being released. Maybe it is a Wildlife Wonders although I think it looks small in that composition. |

| I'm sure it is a whitetail, and now that you mention it it could be a WW model. So far they don't have many prey species in their north American range for WW, just bears, the cougar, wolves, and coyote and one lonely moose. It could use a deer or elk or buffalo for that line. _________________ -"I loathe people who keep dogs.

Simply exciting! Thank you Takama! I believe it is a Diana Monkey?? I wish a brand would make a Vervet Monkey--I know I am selfish toward African species! _________________ Shawn

This picture looks like a frontpage picture for their gallery, and this only a sample of their news. So I am sure there are more |

| I love the new squirrel monkey, howler monkey and THAT blue footed-booby The T-rex looks amazing but I'll wait too see pictures of this one in reality because I used to be disappointed by their dinos these last years.

| Wonderful! I will like to get that howler monkey and the blue-footed booby and probably a kookaburra if it isn't too big Squirrel monkey looks interesting too But I still didn't get any of the 2016 news. _________________ Anna Horse and Bird studio - Horse sculptures My model horse collection

| These look awesome! Thank you for posting this amazing picture. I think like many people, the ones that interest me the most are the husky and the feathered T-rex. The only issues might be scale because I know safari dinosaurs tend to be on the small side. I tend to like 1:40 dinosaurs (although not always) and I'm not sure if this T-rex would fit in with the others. He doesn't look like he could pull off being a juvenile either. Quality-wise though, he's outstanding! I wish I could get a better look at the azhdarchid in the background. It looks awesome even if you can't see much of it yet. |

| Do I spy a Mosasaur?! Yes, I do! (Although considering Jurassic World´s sucess, it really is a little surprise that this beast gets a lot of attention now). And with a nice paint job too! I have to agree, the feathered T-Rex looks quite good, and accurate! It´s position isn´t my favourite but it definitely looks great! Maybe this will be my first Safari dino... And that squid looks adorable! And so does our good friend Bilbo! Fortunately for him, unlike Smaug, this dragon near him is far more interested in checking itself in the mirror than burning him. _________________ "Dovahkiin, Dovahkiin naal ok zin los vahriin wah dein vokul mahfaeraak ahst vaal!

It is hard to know. Actually I think we are knowing these news quite early, we are still in August and if I am not wrong, last year we knew it only in late October. The only way is to keep tuned everywhere, I am sure that as soon as some news drop, it will be posted here just as Takama did posting the picture exactly in the same day as it was posted on Safari's FB page. |
