Show Us Your: Animals of Madagascar

Hi everyone,

Madagascar is home to an abundance of animals found nowhere else on Earth. Approximately 98% of land mamals, 90% of reptiles and 40% of birds are endemic.

It is time to show us your animals of this island  

My little collection   :

This is wonderful !!! Such beautyful insects they have in Madagascar
So I learned something new today

Great contribution !

Nice figurines and a interesting topic :)

I have others of course, but of all the Malgasy creatures, the fossa is an easy favorite!

As made by K&M/Wild Republic

And since Malagasy fish are not super common as figures...other than maybe some introduced ones.

Kaiyodo Giant mottled eel!

A FOSSA

And even a Madagascan eel

PS, I found some small fillms about fossas on YouTube, - they pronounce Fossa as "Fuuse". Is that right ?

I've heard it pronounced 'FAW-sah' and 'Foo-sah'. I don't think it matters too much!

That eel is really interesting :)

Here is my self-made Chrisiridia rhipheus butterfly. In french, we simply call it "Uranie de Madagascar" ("Urania from Madagascar"). To make it, I used wood, silliccone, metal wire and paint. I made a pretzel shape with my metal wire, on which I glued the wooden-carved wings with silliccone. Then, I made the body with a stick covered in silliccone, which I also covered with sawdust (to be able to paint it). When it dried, I put more silliccone on the belly, where I planted the legs, made of pièces of little sticks. Then I covered the silliccone with sawdust (once again, to be able to paint it). When everything was dry, I painted it and varnished it. The result measures about ten centimeters in wingspan. You can see my other self-made butterflies and moths in the "Homemade Models" thread.

It's a good one--from the ChocoQ Kaiyodo-Takara Animaltales partnership, really early into that (series 8, so the third year after they split from Furuta).

It shows up in YAJ off and on. As a figure, mine doesn't stay together well, but it is a nice variation on the anguillidae from the more familiar American and European species.

Thank you :)

Thankyou for this info

Andreas, your lemurs are perhaps the most wonderful of all in your huge, wonderful collection

I also have this unknown brand Lemur Catta.

That is a very lovely lemur

A interesting catta

Some ancient Malagasy animals:

[You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]
Masiakasaurus by Safari Ltd. I think this is a great figure.

[You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]
Majungasaurus (Majungatholus) by CollectA. I think this is a pretty bad figure, as is the one by Recur. The Vitae one is quite nice but very expensive, so for now I just have this one.

Why i never share anything in this topic. So i hope to dont forget it again.

Wonderful to see those, Hali
I have the Masiakasaurus, but never knew it was from Madagscar

Andreas, please do not forget

Here is my contribution for this topic!

Friend Luke

This information is worth gold.

Wikipedia source

He lives exclusively in Africa in savannahs, plantations, gardens and sometimes in mountainous areas. It lodges itself in the hollow of the trees, that it remains hollow with the help of its claws. We can see the south of Africa and the south of the Sahara. We can also find some galagos in Madagascar or on some islands around.



thank you friends
