Thank You so much Robert for Your help with getting this animal

No problem, whatever you need...

Anna, I've just discovered your newcomers. Congratulations!
They are all so beautiful! Especially the animals from Kaiyodo ... or the little rabbit from K & M ....or the Sable antelope!
By the way, you know the mother of the little koala bear? The little one you have is the child!

Yvette

Thank You so much Yvette
Rusty did send to me 2 AAA koalas, small one- baby walking on four legs and bigger one- sitting (maybe it is mommy ) Is the family complete or there was also daddy koala?

That´s mom of them.

Wow, that's a big haul. Congratulations Anna! Those are all wonderful animals. I really like the Papo Yak and Camel, and your pictures of the new Reindeer just make me want it even more. It's still exciting to see it out!

I'm so happy that I can have many nice animals around again. When I came to Holland two months ago I didn't take much of my collection, only about 15 animals. Now, again i have collection, I will need shelf or vitrine for these animals So far they stand on my desktop and watch me

Scott Emerald boa is from Safari Habitat Authentics set. It was in one box with the small Caiman (this one is cutie ) spider monkey, armadillo and anteater This set is retired but it still can be found is some shops. :)
Echidna is Science and Nature brand, called also Animal of Australia. This is smaller version of this figure, it exist in two sizes and also as a keychain
Bear is from Papo, I wouldn't notice this bear in catalog but Christophe send walkaround on forum and it was then easy to see how good this figure is. (the same about moose from Bullyland, also wonderful fellow ) Here links to bear walkaround: [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]

Okapi is Papo, I like his cute face and nice colors It is also one of my favorite species so I couldn't resist one more figure of it
Bobcat is from Safari Ltd, I wanted this specie for my collection and this is the only one replica I heard about. And very cute one I wish to see Canadian lynx from any brand in future too Preferably with such cute silly face like in this photo [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]


In the package arrived two bird figures which represent my 2 favorite real bird species. The Great Grey Owl and the red throated diver
[You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]
My fascination about this 2 species started when I found the fantastic website about birds, with great photos and good quality records of birds' voices: [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] Voice of red throated diver is fantastically wild and full of emotions, I love it You can listen it here [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]
Great Grey owl has almost hypnotic voice with very deep sound, amazing. [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] Just wanted to share, perhaps some of You like it as well
