Species identification topic

Not sure. If there is a series 18, it must be missing too.

The problem with this is, that the Russian tortoise only has 4 toes. Therefor, in Germany we call it Four-toed tortoise. But the Schleich model has 5 ones.

Oh wow, I didn't realize counting toes was a helpful feature. You are right. The Schleich figure has five toes on the two front feet and four on the two hind feet! The Chaco tortoise is a better fit. Thanks, I'll change my database accordingly :)

I was on the same route, but never checked the feets either. There are a lot of tortoises, that only have small features, so this identification is good for me, too.
But I still will wait if I don´t get the adult as single figure, as those Schleich set are always expensive - more so when you only need one model.

Thank you Paige! :)

What do you think?

I think That's Victoria crowned pigeon 

Is that a flat, horizontal helmet or a vertical crest?

Looks like some kind of pheasant, or maybe a crested partridge.

I would say horizontal helmet

Crested wood partridge as Birdsage said is a good candidate. I also would not be surprised if it intend to be some kind of starling. For example Basilornis galeatus would be a very nice match. But it also would help to know if it belongs to a series and which other animals are in this series - this would allow to know for example if none of the animals intend to represent real species but rather generic ones, or if the set is geographically-themed for example.

If i had any more informations or other figures i would hunt hunt hunt. But it is so sad, i have nothing more. I found that figure in a bunch.

I'm not sure if any of these have been asked about before, but does anyone know what species the Good Luck Minis pufferfish, hermit crab, and jellyfish are?

Hmm, I don't know. I wondered about the jellyfish too. 

What kind of hummingbird is this (from Kabaya)?
[You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]

Probably a female Ruby-throated. They don’t have the red throat, so they look just like this with the light yellow-green upperparts and white underparts.

None hummingbird in the world have white wings.
Generic "green above and whitish below" can be applied more or less for females of vast majority of hummingbird species.

Didn’t notice that.

Thank you, both. I'll list it as "unidentified hummingbird" on TAW. It's a nice figure, shame they didn't give it the right colours.

Hi,
Can someone help me identify the brand of this set?
Thanks

Those are capybaras of course

I was on the wrong topic! And I've tried... the brand please!

Hi Stripedhyena,
yes, I remember this beautiful Snow leopard . I am sure I saw this set on a post from our friend : tjjtjjtjja , who made many topics for us on a japanese section.
But unfortunately , I don`t remember on which topic i saw it. So I tried to search it and show it to you, but I couldn`t find it. I think it is maybe from Kaiyodo , ..I checked almost all topics , but didn`t find it. But I am sure it is somwere on the japanese section .

Hello, I was wondering if anyone knows what species of poison dart frog this is? It's from Safari's poison frog TOOB.

I am making a new site for my collection and categorizing my figures by taxonomy but I wasn't sure of this exact species, is it a yellow-banded plosion dart frog or something else? There are so many different morphs I get confused

This Kabaya hummingbird was part of a set of Amazon animals. It came with an accompanying card with a photograph of an actual hummingbird. Given the morphology of the bird in the photograph and the Amazon theme, I have identified it in my collection as the blue-tailed emerald, Chlorostilbon mellisugus. The photo on the card appears to show an immature male (maybe female) C. mellisugus, and the figure is a stylized version of what is on the card. I think at the very least, Chlorostilbon is a safe bet. I used illustrations in 'All the Birds of the World' and images on eBird to assist.

It's a Panamanian golden frog, Atelopus zeteki

Thank you! The white feet threw me off, I didn't even think of a Panama golden frog

Is this a Silverstone's poison frog? I couldn't seem to find it on TAW. It's an exclusive figure from one of Schleich's old Wild Life advent calendars.
