| I need some help to identify a few Heng Mu models Since ther is already a Brown bear in the set [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]Would you think this one could be a Moon bear ? [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]And what about this one ? I would say it is a real elk since it has the body of an American elk and the antlers of an European Elk [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]And what about this one ? I think the legs are too long to fitb with a Red fox... [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.] |

| The sitting bear is an Asian black bear indeed. That neck and those ears seem perfect for this species. It is actually the nicest model in this batch. The deer is supposed to be a moose despite the small size of the antlers and body and head at least for me do not look like a moose but I am convinced it is what they mean. About the fox, it really has long legs which could suggest a maned wolf but it has almost no neck and a long tail so I suppose it was made to be a fox. It is very beautiful and it is interesting some sculptors prefer long-legged ones, for instance, the Houghton Mifflin. |

| I think the fox is not a red one, its legs and ears are too long and its muzzle is far too short, probably an arid landscape species!
About the bear, yes probably a blak one with its big ears, from Asia or America..
About the moose, yes.. a bad model of species from Europa or America! :) |

| A wapimoose, that's it. Maybe Alain is suggesting something like a Bengal fox below or an Afghan fox. Bengal foxes are more graceful than red foxes and legs seem to be longer but those ears of the figure look more like a dhole or so. Though, for a dhole or a jackal, it has such a long tail.

| I'm afraid we can't expect scientific accuracy in this kind of sets, still the details of most of the figures is very nice. I think that of the set, the sitting bear is the mold with the highest quality, also the pangolin. The impala also looks interesting to me. Regarding the fox, they may have been trying to reproduce a common fox but when I saw it, I visualized a jackal painting. |

| Would agree with the bear being a Asian Black bear. The deer is a very poor amalgamation of features but think its meant to be a Moose. The nice little canine-my inclination is to think its a fox-my reason for this is that many older companies would have made more common animals like wolves and foxes as opposed to rarer ones like jackals.Maybe this little fox is just a rather odd example like the Moose! |

| Well my only problem with this canid is where to put it on TAW ? So I will go for a fox even if it could be something else |

| Yes, I continue thinking it is just a fox. No species at all. In my opinion, there's a fox which looks somewhat like a mini jackal with long tail but a figure needs to be very accurate to match an exact fox species since they look alike. Here a swift fox.

How you find out the manufacture? There was nothing on the plastic bag? |

| I don’t over-think Blaine, the moon bear is a very reasonable identification. For the two others my question is only to decide which is the least bad place to store them on TAW. |

| Small head, short ears, thickening tail, it ressembles a jaguarundi. Though, the front legs needed to be shorter ad the head more square in profile. Maybe it is a puma as Taos suggested but the head looks one of a cheetah cub and it is missing the black points as far as I can see. Intriguing model. Isn't anything marked on it? |
