The arthropods have had a good run over the last week or so, but time for something different:

Species: †Coelophysis bauri (Cope, 1887)

About the Figure:
Manufacturer: Safari Ltd.
Series: Wild Safari Prehistoric World
Year of Release: 2017
Size/Scale: Figure length 17.5 cm. Measured along spine 22.7 cm for a scale of 1:13
Frequency of species in toy/figure form (at time of posting): Uncommon
Miscellaneous Notes: This figure is sculpted with a texture suggesting down or protofeathers. This feature is still speculative, as Coelophysis fossils have yet to be found with skin impressions. However, the paleoecology suggests that Coelophysis lived in an environment that could get cold seasonally, and feathers would be an advantage to a theropod living in such habitats.

About the Animal:
Geographic distribution: Late Triassic (Middle Norian) of present day Arizona and New Mexico
Habitat: Floodplains
Diet: Predaceous on smaller animals
IUCN Status (at time of posting): N/A [prehistoric]
Miscellaneous Notes: Coelophysis was a small, agile predaceous dinosaur. Morphological features of the eye sockets suggest it was a diurnal hunter. Large congregations of fossils suggest Coelophysis may have been a pack hunter, but there is no direct evidence of such behavior. Such large fossil deposits could have been due to other phenomena, such mass killings during flooding, for example.

very beautiful figurine and picture!! cheers cheers big congrats for the back(and fore!)ground! Applause

 I red somewhere that since amongst modern birds there are no pack hunters, it was probably the same about theropods (though I observed packs of crows purchasing busards)..

Great info, and that background is just terrific, I thought it was a work of art and scrolled up to find the figure, but then realised that was it Shocked Embarassed

It's a Bakku Background, designed for displaying figures. They are coated, sealed paper that fold. The reverse side is a coniferous forest (seen recently with the Prosopocoilus dissimilis pair by Kaiyodo). I also have one that switches from an Arctic/tundra scene to outer space. Obviously, I won't use the space side, but the other side will be good for Arctic, Antarctic, and tundra species.

I love Blaine’s way of showing models and those Bakku backgrounds are really beautiful.

Modern birds are flight specialized dinosaurs offsprings. After a mammal extinction, I think it would be very speculative to understand mammal’s wide realm and habits if the only survivors where the bats.

Thank you everyone for the interesting discussions. Next up:

Species: Dynastes hercules (Linnaeus, 1758) (Hercules beetle)

About the Figure:
Manufacturer: Wing Mau
Series: Flying Beetles
Year of Release: unknown (Wing Mau's website states 'until 2006' so released in 2006 or earlier)
Size/Scale: Body length (including horns) 6.2 cm, for a scale of 1:1.3-1:3. Wingspan 10.5 cm.
Frequency of species in toy/figure form (at time of posting): Very common
Miscellaneous Notes: This is the other species I have more than 40 figures of (at the time of this writing, I have 65-70 figures of Dynastes representing five species). Today's figure came from a set of eight representing flying scarabaeoid beetles. Unlike similar figures by Sega, the Wing Mau figures do not have bases (the base shown here was temporarily borrowed from a Colorata figure for photography purposes only).

About the Animal:
Geographic distribution: Central and South America, from southern Mexico to Bolivia
Habitat: Rainforests
Diet: Larvae feed on rotting wood; adults are attracted to fresh and overripe fruit
IUCN Status (at time of posting): Not Evaluated
Miscellaneous Notes: Like most rhinoceros beetles, D. hercules exhibits extreme sexual dimorphism. The long cephalic and pronotal horns are only present on males (although exclusive of the horns, females have a larger body size). The males use their horns to fight over a potential mate and possibly to help secure ideal breeding sites.

Another interesting model and species!
I am amazed at how many different bug species have been made over the years by all the brands!

Species: Oncorhynchus clarkii stomias (Cope, 1871) (greenback cutthroat trout)

About the Figure:
Manufacturer: Replica Toy Fish
Series: 3 Inch Collection
Year of Release: 2015
Size/Scale: Body length 7.5 cm, for a scale of 1:6 for a maximum-sized specimen.
Frequency of species in toy/figure form (at time of posting): Unique
Miscellaneous Notes: Replica Toy Fish released two subspecies of cutthroat trout in 2015, this one and Colorado River cutthroat trout (O. c. pleuriticus), which I have and will be reviewed at a later date.

About the Animal:
Geographic distribution: Upper tributaries of the Arkansas and South Platte Rivers in Colorado
Habitat: Cold, clear mountain and foothill waters
Diet: Invertebrates, especially terrestrial invertebrates that fall into the water
IUCN Status (at time of posting): Not Evaluated; however, it has an ESA status of Threatened
Miscellaneous Notes: Natural populations of greenback cutthroat have decreased dramatically since the 19th century due to toxic pollutants entering the water from mining operations, water diversion for agriculture, overfishing, and the introduction of non-native salmonids, including brook trout (Salvelinus fontinalis), brown trout (Salmo trutta), and rainbow trout (O. mykiss).

I have several of these Replica Toy Fishes. I am glad you could get them.I believe this is one of these series that will be forgotten from future generations and I hope TAW and STS survive for a long time to perpetuate these figures.

I have this figure on my wishlist as well as many other Replica Toy Fish Factory figures, just finding them will be the problem without paying a large amount of shipping from MiniZoo
