Megaptera's Collection

Yes, I also have it in my collection as a Western Lowland Gorilla :)

Interesting informations with the crocodile and the hedgehog. Now i want both.

Sometimes it is better to look. Today i have seen that the large Safari Ltd Albatros have blue legs and a yellow beak. So it could be more a Galapagos albatros.

Interesting. Then, I also need this Albatross.

Whoa that's a good observation, Andreas. I have the Papo one, which I assume is just the wandering albatross. Water birds are my next, upcoming focus group once they all come in.

No, because of its colouration the Papo Albatross is a Black-Browed Albatross.

Thanks you! That makes much more sense!!!! I am an entomologist and re-learning my other taxonomies :-D

You are welcome. I also thought it would be a Wandering Albatross in the first place. But then I observed the total dark colouration of the wings and the dark brow-like structures above the eyes. Moreover, it is the most common species of Albatross.
I'm a microbiologist, but my hobby cleary is the zoology. But I still have much to learn about Arthropods. Maybe we can learn from each other

I am a microbiologist too, well a parasitologist specifically, and entomology and zoology are also my hobbies :)

That's great. So, we really can learn from each other. My specification is fungal microbiology like Lichtheimia or Aspergillus and clinical microbiology.

This sounds like fun. My daughters love monkeys:)

Today we visit the Leipzig Zoo and there I've got the Safari Gila Monster and the Arabian Oryx:

You visited a wonderful zoo and you bought the next must haves :)

Yes, it really was a fantastic day and finally we could visit the new Pantanal region. We also have seen the new Indian Elephant Baby.
And they have many different Safari models.

Congratulations for your good choices and for visiting such a wonderful place. These two also have a place in my collection.

Thank you. But now I want to see your entire collection

You did a magnificent job in choosing which type of animal figure to get.

good choice ! :)

Thanks 1claire and Caracal

Finally, I've identified this one. I think it could be a Big-headed Turtle and I think it's from Nayab:
