.. I checked Roger.. but no.. it would be surprised too!.. :)

No chance then. That's what happens if you don't turn your head!

We know the end of the story. Barbary sheep won the fight because Barbary lions are extinct for almost 60 years now.

..in wilderness but some still survive in the zoo of Rabat and many others in circus and there is a breeding project to save this impressive sub species Rogério. :)

That's the happy part of the story and I am glad you have told it. I think they're not considered a subspecies anymore, just a population but that's just a detail. These lions are really magnificent creatures.

Beautiful scenes, and so many animals to look at!

You can really make some miracles with OMO premium figures and a lot of talent, intelligence and patience.

Oops! Looking at the hippos, I didn't noticed this monster!..

Bye bye old chap!.."

(hippos from Papo and Safari ltd, croc from Papo, you know Daniel well now! :)  )

Wonderful story again, the hippos look SO realistic in the water!

Its better when he go

Thank you Bonnie and Andreas! :)

Andreas, you're right, Daniel spoils a little the view!

Hippos are far more dangerous and aggresive than crocs towards people!

Who is the monster, Alain? As Isidro pointed, hippos are far more dangerous than crocodiles, even for crocodiles. I any way, hippos or crocs are not more dangerous than humans. Poor croc!

Generaly I want believe you to be right but in this little scenery, between 2 big hippos and a Daniel without any weapon and not so good swimmer, the choice is quickly done for a hungry croc! :)

How does it happen a Schleich alligator transforms into a Papo crocodile ?

.. that's a true trans-generus!

They definitely do wonders with a few hormones and a bit of surgery nowadays.
