I don't understand

some of the pages for Guernsey cattle have pics of horses (maybe a cut-and-paste error):

I ifixed it, it is really a typical mistake of copy paste error. However, I haven't found the pictures of the cattle which should be there instead. So I removed those pages.

Japanese populations of the Eurasian long-eared bat are now a separate species, P. sacrimontis (previously a subspecies). As such, the Kaiyodo figure can probably be elevated to this 'new' species.

Correct, since the Kaiyodo series is devoted to Japanese animals, I think the suggestion is more than plausible and now I opened a page to the Japanese long-eared bat.

This horse is coming up under Safari's Jersey bull, probably another copy-paste error :)

Thanks for spotting it. Actually, it should be a picture of a color variation of the bull but since I don't know where the picture is, I removed the Tinker horse and used the other color variation of the bull.
I haven't uploaded the picture myself so I don't know why it happened but I see I completed the job without noticing it was not a bull.

Another possible cut-and-paste error, the infor for Cystidia truncangulata refers to the Cecropia moth: https://toyanimalwiki.mywikis.wiki/wiki/Cystidia_truncangulata

Correct, I forgot to complete it because I didn't found a corresponding Wikipedia page but surely I shouldn't let it with the information of a differente species. We copy an existing page and then we change the information to avoid writing all the code again.
There are surely more mistakes like these, I hope you keep checking it.
I modified it to a simple genus page, if I don't forget, I will try to find more information about the species later to make a better page.

Could it be that the only Canada goose is the Safari Great Lake toob figure? And the others have a shortly neck so it could be cackling gooses?

That is too daring an assumption. New Ray, Safari, and Papo specifically marketed them as Canada.

Also, when resting Canada geese can retract their necks making them look shorter than they are. The beak shape and size is better than neck length and that's darn near impossible to interpret in a plastic toy.

I wouldn't call anything a Cackling if not specifically marketed as such.

It could be a cackling goose for your collection Andreas, but even having these animals next to each other in person it is a challenge to tell them apart! I would say its far more likely they represent Canada geese, especially since they are marketed as such.

I second Blaine's and Paige's words on this matter.

Safari tree frogs.

TAI has this one as a barking tree frog: https://toyanimalwiki.mywikis.wiki/wiki/Safari_250629_Barking_tree_frog

Safari marketed these by color, not name, and the ID of barking tree frog never sat well with me. Snooping around, I think it is a much better match for the spotted chorus frog, Pseudacris clarkii

Atlantic titi: https://toyanimalwiki.mywikis.wiki/wiki/Atlantic_titi

The toy is specifically marked red tail monkey, which usually implies this one: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Red-tailed_monkey

sometimes it looks like they can have reddish coats: https://destinationuganda.com/animals/red-tailed-monkey/

I agree, it is only marketed as tree frog.

I can't tell if Safari Ltd always marketed it as a Red tail monkey. I think it was previously marketed as Masked titi in the past.

Nevertheless we can choose to write it as "marketed as Red tail monkey". Mine needs a big repaint

OK, I moved the frog from Barking tree frog to Clark's tree frog but what to do with the monkey?

We need to repaint it

More seriously, we should use the marketed option and forget the Atlantic titi

I'm glad I don't have to repaint it. I'll do the job, thanks.

That's not a correction but a relevant change on Papo section. I opened a new series page for Garden Animals which is actually a new series in Papo range. So, these arthropods, small birds, small mammals, etc. typical from gardens are not anymore under Papo Wildlife. It has already 25 figures listed and it makes sense.
You can find the new page in this link.:

It’s funny to see the hummingbird in the garden life section, what a weird choice for an European company.

If you go to Papo's website those animals are under 'garden animals' and 'wildlife'. Seems like a subcategory for organizational convenience rather than a major category.

What does the table of contents show in the actual papaer catalague?

Christophe, hummingbirds=flowers - flowers=gardens. I find it very romantic.

Blaine, on Papo 2023 catalogue it shows as a distinct series although it "imported" those figures from the Wild Animal series. I'd say it is now consistently a new series and a good marketing strategy since those figures have been succesful, I guess. They display them after Wildlife and before the Farm animals.
I surely don't want to relist everything back to wildlife although I wouldn't be surprised Papo would change it later as they did when they merged wildlife with woodlands several years ago.
I like the concept, gardens and urban areas, are also niches for wildlife.

Thanks! I am more curious as it could affect how we write subtitles on the ATB

You're welcome. Actually, all the figures prior to 2023 were introduced in the wildlife series because in 2022 there was no designation for garden animals. Only the ones from 2023 were originally introduced in this new series.
They even divided the arthropods since the scorpion and the wolf spider were not moved to the Garden series.
