Some Vanishing Wild in wet Denmark ;-)

also 2 grizzly bears and 2 jaguars. no wildebeests, but gemsboks instead and a bengal tiger and mountain lion.

Thanks Susanne and Lance!
Those are all you know or you know that those make the complete list of Vanishing Wild figures?

Aaaah, yes ! Bears, jaguars, puma and gemsboks!
I think the newest tigers are Sibirean tigers . I did count those already.

Well, as long as they have white versions they have to be considered Bengal tigers once from my knowledge there are no known white mutations from Siberian tigers. The orange versions are always hard to identify.

there were many tigers in this series but only one bengal tiger

Well. I checked, and according to Safari, the newer ones are Siberian...

But as Roger says, the white ones can`t be.

However, I suppose we must call the newer ones the Siberian tigers, and the older ones just "tigers" . Otherwise we will be unable to understand what each others are talking about.

Lance, thanks for your pictures and information! Could you please resize last picture, they are huge!
Susanne, so they are all Siberian tigers in terms of cataloguing. Or the brand made a little mistake or I am making a huge mistake. I will google to see if I can find anything about white mutations of Siberian tigers.
Anyway you are right, it turned in a very informative tread about one of the most impressive lines that ever existed.
These figures are huge, great collectibles and have a very peculiar design.

Roger, can you please resize them because i dont know how to

Oh, very confuse indeed, even reading this Wikipedia article it results not conclusive. My suggestion is to call it white Siberian tiger although scientifically it is only accepted for Bengal tigers, but crossbreeding them in captivity is disturbing everything. Read here!

OK Lance, I'll resize them!

so 11 tigers total wow 10 siberian and only one meant to be bengal. this series also should have made a giant panda and black rhinoceros if it is an endangered species collection several species should not have been included (wolves, giraffes, zebras, lions, puma, gemsboks) but i'm glad they all were.

Here is the catalogue

Love those giraffes! :)

-Kristie

Curious that even in this line the elephant is small when compared with giraffe. But both work nicely anyway. Great figures and pictures. :elphant:

Thankyou Sergey, Kristie and Roger

Roger, yes, but I am happy the elefant is not larger , - the size it has, it already cost a FORTUNE to send to Denmak

Or perhaps this was a possibility ?

Wonderful acquisitions. I love the elephant and the giraffe! I would like to have both but they are hard to find!
