| So, long complicated history... I will try to keep it simple. I have been searching for this model since I first saw it several years ago. Haven't had any luck finding it online and have checked every Target store I've ever been in for it (they used to sell Terra by Battat models). I tried contacting the company years ago, they said they do not sell directly to consumers and just to keep looking around for it (NO LUCK!). Within the last year or so it was taken down off their website, implying retirement. Does it even exist? There's little confirmation it ever did beside this screenshot I have and that the company told me to look for it (which implies they did sell it SOMEWHERE...). There aren't any other stock photos or real life pictures on tge internet... google it and all you get is the fox and coyote-ish wolf... Any other ideas my friends? It seems to be a fantastic model of a coyote, and I would love to have one. This is perhaps the one model I have searched hardest for to no avail. _________________ -"I loathe people who keep dogs.

| The style of Battat works nicely with this model, at least judging only based on that photo. However, these legs may have resulted a big trouble to the company and it may explain why it was produced in a very small run. Considering what you've told, I suspect you will need a long time of dedicated research to find one for your collection. I wished I could help but, even searching online, it is not easy to come. |

| Its a rare figure for certain... maybe someday we all can track just one down each for our collections. _________________ -"I loathe people who keep dogs.

| My local target has sold many terra battat for years and though they do not anymore I am 100% certain I never saw this figure. If I had I would have bought it. _________________ Always looking for new species

| I really think this model is practically nonexistent. Of it was made for any length of time it was probably a short run as Roger said.

| So it DOES exist? (Not to be confused with their coyote-ish wolf....) _________________ -"I loathe people who keep dogs.

| I am in similar situation with the Battat lynx - I remember the figure from their old website but I never saw real photo of the model nor eBay/Amazon offer... @Luke: If you have downloaded some pics from the old Battat website - can you please share (or send me via PM) the Battat lynx picture? I realized I have no photo of this elusive (or non-existent?) figure... |

Yes, the look on the face is really Schleich-cute Hmmm But doesn't Schleich tend to make huge heads, and I think they make the legs to the short side ? _________________ SUSANNE |

I realized I have no photo of this elusive (or non-existent?) figure... The lynx comes in the north america set. The set appears rarely on ebay https://toyanimal.info/wiki/File:Battat-terra-na-set-figures.jpg https://www.ebay.com/p/1333829797 |

| Thank you, Taos and Max, for the photo, I know this set from eBay but I thought the Battat lynx offered as standalone figure... |

They had 2 single standard sized lynxs I believe. A more yellowish color. Thanks for the photo taylor! I need that wolf someday too but I REALLY hope for the coyote... _________________ -"I loathe people who keep dogs.
