Bullyland sun bear (and with Papo brown bear for size comparison)

These days, there was a brown bear entering Portuguese territory,. The last time the species was spotted in Portugal, it was in 1843 and unfortunately that one was killed. There is a lot of excitment around the bear and fortunately not many incidents registered, just some kg of honey were gone.
Thanks for sharing your bears with us, I think I favour the figures standing on back legs although that is a less natural pose.

yes I like specialy the Papo brown and polar standing bears but they take more place on the shelves!..

thanks to you both! :)

Roger, I hope the bear is doing well. We also had a bear in Germany some years ago. It was called Bruno, but there were too many people, that were afraid of it. And after it attacked some hens, the bear got killed

That must be many years ago, as I saw Bruno stuffed in the Museum Mensch und Natur (München) already in 2012.

That's quite sad. After the official confirmation of the presence of the bear by Portuguese autorities, we stopped having news about the bear. They stopped with the hysterism to protect the animal, I guess.

Amazing amazing collection! I have not been here for a while so I have missed this post!

thank you Valeriia! :)

Wow, Caracal, you have a very impressive collection. As you might expect, I am particularly impressed with your selection of 1/32 scale animals. I had missed this topic before and need to study your photos in more detail, they contain a wealth of information. Who made the bison calf next to the shepherd? Is it Veb Plaho/Marolin?

Yes Roger, it's from Veb Plaho/marolin.. :)

here my first "auroch", the Schleich spanish bull:

Wonderful !!!!!!!

Wonderful bovines
I didn't know that the Scottish Highland Bull from Schleich looks so amazing!

Your collection is brilliant. It's very interesting seeing the development through the years and thank you for presenting some time line photographs

Very nice bulls, good models, congrats.

Xintoch? I've never heard of it!
It is really amazing to watch your collection with all these modern and vintage companies. You have an impressive selection of them.

Thank you Andreas, Megaptera, Steve, Fernando and Rogério! :)

Xintoch is an import company I think, but these muskoxes are from Nayab or an other chinese brand..

There is a muskox listed as Chick Yuet but I have seen that mould branded in a different way. It is hard for me to tell if it is the same.
