| Great additions! No doubt Yowies have the best selection of obscure species, tough my favourite species of the lot is the Silky Owl butterfly, that always fascinated me. As for figures, the only one on my wishlist is the Yowies sifaka. That Toy Major slender-horned gazelle looks like an oryx more than the unbranded oryx!! _________________ My collection:- (Details):

Thanks, they are great. I like the white animal, but I have no idea what it is meant to be. Do you know? |

| That makes sense. Of course, the painting is simplified, but it isn't bad at all as an addax. |

| New additions (June 25, 2021): [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]Acquired in a trade with [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]: Maia & Borges Red-throated Loon/Diver (Note: the legs are very inaccurate; the actual bird’s legs are at the rear end of the torso.. They were made this way on the figure to allow for a duck-like standing posture, which is of course anatomically impossible for the actual animal) Kaiyodo ChocoQ Tufted Duck Bought as a lot from eBay: Wild Republic Audubon Snowy Owl, Chipping Sparrow, Common Raven, Killdeer, and Eastern Towhee (Note: tags were included for all of these. Owl and raven have dead sound batteries; the sound works on all others) They are currently in storage with the other tags and booklets for Yowies and others.) Acquired in my second lot from [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]: Bullyland White-rumped Vulture (Note: This identification is based on the photos that I looked at for reference. It appears that this species is overall less white in coloration than the White-rumped vulture.) Papo Galapagos Tortoise (Note: This is the original version, later accompanied in 2014 by an updated Galapagos Tortoise and the mold repurposed in 2020 for a Hermann’s Tortoise.) Bullyland James’s Flamingo Andean Flamingo (Note: Coloration of the bill is yellow/black, which is found on 2 species, but face pattern matches Andean Flamingo better.) Toy Major Spiny Turtle (Note: This identification is based on the pointed ends of the shell’s scutes. These are less noticeable on this toy, which is dull green/brown and appears to represent an adult, than on other representatives of the Spiny Turtle, which are more colorful and appear to represent juveniles.) Safari Ltd Somali Ostrich (Note: This identification is based on the blue-gray color of the figure’s head, neck, and legs.) Kaiyodo Furuta Chocoegg North Island Brown Kiwi K&M Rainforest Reptiles Green Iguana Play Visions Snakes Blood Python Nayab Realistic Figures White-throated Screech-Owl (Note: This identification is based on the white area under the bill, the rufous underparts, and the very dark upperparts of this figure, which is therefore not representative of Eurasian Eagle-Owl. Also, the figure’s feet are inaccurate: they have three toes each when the feet of all Neognathae have four each.) Play Visions Weasels African Small-clawed Otter (Note: this is a consensus ID; the figure does not appear to have any trace of toe claws.) Acquired individually on eBay: Wild Republic Audubon Western Scrub-Jay (Note: Tag was not included; sound does work. Note 2: that Western Scrub-Jay has since been split into California and Woodhouse’s Scrub-Jay in 2016. The plush has the blue breast-band and thus looks more like California to me. Personally, I am not really a fan of either name. The former is not endemic to to the State of California/Baja California zone, and there are 6 other species in the ABA Area named after that state [and one of these is not endemic either, the California Gull]. And who was this Woodhouse character anyway? Never heard of him, but probably one of those random 18th-19th century ornithologists. While I don’t think getting rid of eponyms is really the best way to improve diversity in the birding culture, I still think that they are not particularly helpful or descriptive, and besides, what’s the point of naming newly-created species with the names of 18th-19th century ornithologists? When the species were subspecies of the Western Scrub Jay, they were called Coastal and Interior, respectively, which are more accurate regarding the main distinction that separates the two species; range.)

| New Additions (July 19, 2021) [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]Acquired in a trade with [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]: Toy Concepts Animals: Leopard Plains Zebra, subspecies Maneless Zebra (As pointed out by [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.], this does not match Grevy’s Zebra at all, and it is somewhat stylized and genericized. The Maneless Zebra is the closest subspecies match) Moose Bought from Veghead.com via eBay: The PV crab set (scientific names are shown for clarity): Helmet Crab (Telmessus cheiragonus) Red King Crab (Paralithoides camtschaticus) (Labeled “King Crab”) Winged Kelp Crab (Epialtoides hiltoni) (Labeled “Pear Crab”) Purple Globe Crab (Randallia ornata) Atlantic Blue Crab (Callinectes sapidus) (Labeled “Blue Crab”) Mexican Fiddler Crab (Leptuca crenulata) (Variant; labeled simply “Fiddler Crab”) Striped Shore Crab (Pachygrapsus crassipes) Mexican Spider Crab (Libinia mexicana) (Labeled “Spider Crab”, most likely a North American Pacific Coast species) [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]Bought from [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]: K&M Australia Polybag (Unknown Original Maker) Red Kangaroo CollectA Eurasian Red Squirrel (Note: Regarding the change of the name of the page “Eurasian red squirrel” to “Red squirrel”, even though the latter is the Wikipedia name, it is vague and contradicts the “American red squirrel”. Please change it back to the other one, which is the one used by iNaturalist) West Maia & Borges Manatee (If anyone could suggest a species, let me know) Mojo Grey Seal Happy Kin Toys Harp Seal (Mislabeled “Hooded Seal”) Mojo California Sea Lion Mojo Sun Bear CollectA Fennec Fox Mojo Mountain Lion Nayab Realistic Figurines Donkey (Heavy wear. I may use this as a feral burro) Schleich Wild Boar Bullyland Red Deer CollectA Saola CollectA Mountain Goat Science & Nature Southern Brown Kiwi (Note: Conjectural species ID) Maia and Borges Falcated Duck CollectA Indian Peafowl Maia and Borges Horned Grebe (Note: Feet are even more inaccurate than those of the M&B Loons; not only do grebes have feet at the rear that make the bird physically unable to get into a ducklike standing position; but the feet are printed as webbed when they should really be lobed like the feet of a coot or phalarope. I may end up customizing the loon and grebe figures) Happy Kin Toys Arctic Tern Pair Mojo Eurasian Griffon, old version (Note: Not simply called “Griffon Vulture” according to eBird and iNaturalist. Also, the old brown version is more accurate than the new black version) Epoch Northern Goshawk (Note: missing stand) Science & Nature Kakapo Albert Heijin Galah Yowie UK Golden-shouldered Parrot [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]Webkinz plush birds, all bought from different sellers (all came with codes): American White Pelican (officially “Pelican”) Mute Swan (officially “White Swan”) (Note: foot color is incorrect; should be gray, black, or pink) Carolina Chickadee (conjectural species ID, officially “Chickadee”) Salmon-crested Cockatoo (officially “Pink Cockatoo”)
