Safari Sumatran Rhino.

Here in 2018, Safari has lavished lots of wonderful models at us.
One of my favorites is the lovely, little Sumatran rhino, item no 100103

Wikipedia introduces this species :
"The Sumatran rhinoceros, also known as the hairy rhinoceros or Asian two-horned rhinoceros (Dicerorhinus sumatrensis), is a rare member of the family Rhinocerotidae and one of five extant rhinoceroses. It is the only extant species of the genus Dicerorhinus. It is the smallest rhinoceros, although it is still a large mammal; it stands 112–145 cm (3.67–4.76 ft) high at the shoulder...."
It is critcally endangered, and this species does not breed well in captivity.

On my wishlist !!!

Also on my wishlist:)

Bravos Safari. Finally this guy is also on my wish list!

So in love with this figure! Stunning piece! Fantastic pictures Susanne, as usual!

Thankyou friends , - from me and Surhino

Wonderful walk around of one of the most remarkable releases of 2018. I surely want one in my collection. Despite being the most distinctive rhinos, they are so rare in toy shape that I believe it is the first time it is mass produced. The Pfeiffer on TAI is an Indian rhino, in my opinion. Several companies had the bad habit of making armoured rhinos with two horns.

Roger , yes, the Sumatran rhino is indeed quite distinctive with the strange mouth and fur and the tail etc..
I am so delighted with this model. I didn't realize before how unusual this animal really is.
Ohhh, if just I could help to save it

Don't buy products, which contain palm oil.

Ohh, yes, of course

And if you visit the Zoo of Leipzig, they will donate 1 € per ticket to save one of its subspecies:)

Wow, detailed figure O__O

It is such a lovely model, and a must-have as Susanne's pictures clearly show. I remember seeing this wonderful animal at the zoo, and it is such a shame that this rare species is nearly extinct.
