PAPO Walking wolf : The all round walkaround review

As you may know, the last Papo wolf found a good place at home last week.

The more I look at him, the more I love him...

The best is on the pics  

Very piercing eyes !

I love and want her even more

It's a great choice Rio, a great choice

This is one of my favourite wolfies Had to buy it as soon as I found it. But I still think that the safari white wolf beats it

This is my absolute favourite wolf so far

I also think that Safari's white wolf looks more realistic than Papo's.
Thanks for the photos!

I think both wolfs are equally good. But I prefer the Papo walking wolf most.

You have a good pack of wolves there, Christophe. The Safari Ltd's White Wolf is a good addition too.
Unless you already have him.

Thank you everyone

I agree the SAFARI white wolf is a masterpiece. It is on my whishlist and I hope I will put my hand on one before 2011.

But I'm happy with the new PAPo, it s a good figurine, better than expected...

The SAFARI addiction is growing in me but Papos and Schleichs are easier to find here, I don't have to take a chance with an online shop. That's the only reason my SAFARI collection grows more slowly.

Great pictures Kiki, thank you, he's really nice.

Awesome photos. Thank for sharing. Beautiful wolf. You have a great collection of them.

As I already said, I'm sure this Safari wolf is a must have !

But the PAPO is a grey wolf ( Canis lupus lupus )


and the SAFARI an Arctic wolf ( Canis lupus arctos)

The pics are not mine, so I don't need congratulations  

IMHO they don't need to compete, they are both great models of slightly different animals

They are just sub-species, but both models are great IMHO.
Actually they found out shortly ago, that the dogs, which have the same genes as wolfs, because they are the ancestors of them, just differ in minor gene points, doesn't matter which breed.
The difference in colour, size, lenght of hair, and all the other things we see in different breeds, seem to be in just one gene-pair.
So the difference in the different types of wolves are probably even smaller, just some outside adjudgements to the enviroment they are living in, what is typical for evolution of course... :)

Alas Torben, If you are talking about the two last pictures, I'm not the photograph, I only pick up them on eBay.

But if you are talking about the Papo wolf's pics... I'm happy you enjoyed them !

Arctic wolves, grey wolves and... dogs are all subspecies of Canis lupus and there is a big difference between a beagle and a grey wolf.
Grey wolf (Canis lupus lupus) are smaller and have a different shape than Arctic wolf (Canis lupus arctos).
Indeed a very small genetic difference can have spectacular results !

Only 1 gene makes the difference between black or white

I like the new Papo wolf! I customized 2 of 3 to make them look different(some a darker shade of grey/black) so they all look different as a pack
of wolves : )

Thank you Ken
I thought the SAFARI was bigger
Another good news
It will be mine before the end of the year , month , week , day ???

Yes, only one gene, and then so much differences from the outside...
Although, the beagle seems more expensive these days as a polar wolf...
