Is that the newest Safari wolf? If so, it was sold in the North American WIldlife line, so is expected to represent a North American subspecies (for what it's worth...)

Ok, I didn't know that. It also looks similar to the Eurasian one. Can you tell me the American subspecies?

Stunning newcomers :)

Do you have the Mojo Asian Elephant, too? Would love to see a comparison picture :)

Great adds again, especially the macaw 

The macaw i need too :)

Not sure if it was intended to represent a given subspecies, but the best option appears to be the Northwestern wolf, C. l. occidentalis

For what it's worth, when it was first announced, I thought it looked Eurasian too ;-)

Beautiful Macaw and wolf! That green colour is brilliant, and reall wonderful with the fanned feathers too!

Thank you, everyone

@Blaine: Me too, it also looks like the Eurasian wolf. But when it belongs to the North American range, it has to be an American subspecies. Thank you for giving me the proper subspecies

BTW Megaptera, I sent you a PM but didn't hear so I'll ask you here. If one follows the notion that there is more than one species of Galapagos tortoise, what would you call the 2020 Schleich figure?

Here is my newest model. I always collect only the adult ones, so this is an exception. So, I've chosen the Papo caterpillar of the Old World swallowtail:

Nice caterpillar

So nice they've chosen a caterpillar recognizable to the species level. (Papilio machaon), strange is that as far as I know Papo has not released the adulte version.

Indeed, it's still not available

Well, I was not even remembering it's among the 2021 new releases.

someone wrote earlier that the ant, lobster, and adult swallowtail will be released this month.

The smilodon is due to release this month as well

A very handsome caterpillar! Congrats!

Thank you, Saarlooswolfhound

Here are my newest christmas additions. Here are the Mojo Reticulated Giraffe and the Bullyland Ranitomeya amazonica  and the Peacock Dartfrog:

Congrats! The frogs are splendid!

Congratulations Michael! Regardless of the way those legs are painted, I must admit this giraffe is extremely beautiful!
About the frogs, does Bullyland is marketing them up to the species level or those are your own identifications?
For example, the left one looks more like a red-backed dart frog Ranitomeya reticulata to me.

Edited: I have found that Bullyland is marketing it as R. amazonica indeed but the model on catalogue picture has dark bands.

[You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] - how big are the frogs? How do they compare with PV/CE frogs?

That's a very nice giraffe, and the dart frogs are beautiful :) Congrats! :)

Lovely frogs, they must be a fascinating area to collect with so many varied and beautiful colours out there.
