no idea

Hi, got this frog from my daughter. But I have some troubles to identify a species which fits with this one. Maybe it could be a Rocket Frog species:

Really hard to tell... It could also be a Brown tree frog (Osteocephalus planiceps)

Thank you very much, Christophe. I will check this species, immediately

generic frog (or possibly, toad)

What you think are the specie of these ducks, mallard or american black ducks? They are from a Ertl set from USA.

I think these are mallards; the images are dark but the heads look green through the opaque plastic

I have been stumped for a while on this butterfly. It is a largish figure (9.0 cm wingspan). I bought it at a gift shop in a state park in Georgia years ago. Given its size, one would assume it is modeled after something specific. Two possibilities are Caligo uranus or Thauria aliris, but for both of those the white on the forewing should be a band, not a cloudy spot (and in the former, the forewings are usually more blue, but they can fade to brownish-black in old specimens).

@BowheadWhale do you recognize it?

It's a BIBLIS HYPERIA. It lives in South America.

I am sticking with Mimoides euryleon, due to the white in the forewings.

Have you ever tought in Caligo atreus?

Yes, of course! That can be another possibility... I haven't the time to look at it yesterday because my computer time in the library was almost over, which explains why I was so affirmative yesterday...

I agree with you

I got this tortoise, but I don't know if represents a real species:

Please what species match better with Safari LTD Good Luck Minis chameleon and bat?

[You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]

How about Eumops perotis for the bat? It have also big round ears, short muzzle, and fits with wished scale... but ears should be more forward-oriented for this species.

The Chameleon is a young veiled chameleon.

The bat can be an Eumops perotis but it is probably intend to be a smaller copy of the Little brown bat (Myotis lucifugus)

Thanks a lot, Kikimalou!
Oh, it's a shame that is a baby veiled. Is there any species that being adult can be identified with this figure? (with three small crests on head: the central one and smaller ones above each eye)...

About the bat, maybe it pretend that, but it have wrong colour and wrong ear shape for Myotis lucifugus...

The Good luck minis don't claim to be accurate

Good Luck Minis are usually smaller versions of other figures already released by Safari. So, just find something they made and it's probably just a mini version of that :)

That's right. I think it's probably the brown bat: https://toyanimalwiki.mywikis.net/wiki/Safari_260629_Brown_Bat

I am trying to find a bat with a 1 metre wingspan that looks similar, then it could be 1:32 scale. I don't know whether they exist.

Thanks. In the large version, fur colour and ear shape is accurate. Just a Mini is too small for think in acurateness

rogerpgvg, many flying foxes (Pteropodidae) have wingspans that are around 1 meter. However, their heads are very different to this figure. I'm trying to match it with a medium-sized bat species for a 1:20 scale

what species is this?.. on Ebay, indications about Geowolrd set "ice age" it's from, "dog-bear" is mentionned but the short face, the digitigrad feet, the long tail ended by a tuft and the little mane are rather the ones of a cave lion!..

I don't know....but I like this figure.

thank you Fernando! :)

..and with the others species of the set but at a very more little scale (I miss one, a kind of hippo)

from left: mammoth, wooly rhino, smilodon, ... ?, cave lion?

who knows?..

A dog-bear is an Hemicyon, a bear cousin which lived in the Miocene epoch and, unlike modern bears, walked on its toes.

However, there should be no confusion with the bear-dogs Amphicyonidae which were canids cousins.

So I think this guy is a "not perfectly accurate" dog-bear

yes its muzzle is too short and its tail too long!

Hello, my son got some dinos, please can you help him identify the species? The largest one should be Mattel, the red one Schleich, rest Made in China...

One of them looks a lot like the UKRD edmontosaurus -
