Species identification thread (animal toys)

[Takama]

Ok I have one more for now.

Is the Grey Goose supposed to be a Greylag?

[brontodocus]

At least Schleich officially states it's a male Greylag Goose.  And it looks like one, too.

[Takama]

thanks.   Im trying to collect Wild animals from Schelich, and I wanted to make sure this is one was a Greylag goose, which is one I know is wild.     I may collect animals, but admit ably  im not the best expert on them.

[Takama]

Im sorry if im over loading this thread with Schelich. but




The Two Adult wolves that they made. Are they supposed to be the same species? or Different?   I know that the Howling one is a grey wolf, but is the black one a different kind of Wolf, or are Grey Wolves generally different?

[brontodocus]

Wolves are very variable in colouration of their fur, but they are all the same species. Grey Wolf is a vernacular name for the species Canis lupus rather than referring to the colour of an individual. So the black ones (or white ones or others) are Grey Wolves, too.

[Takama]

Thanks for sharing that knowledge.

[dinocat62]

Need help identifying these Chinese lizards that I bought from Veghead in the USA:



and these insects:



Thanks!

[bmathison1972]

most of these insects will have to be left at the family level. For the top row of beetles, the upper left is a tiger beetle (Cicindela sp. sensu lato) and the upper right is a dung beetle (Scarabaeinae, Coprini, NOS)

*NOS=not otherwise specified.

[IslandAnimals]

[IslandAnimals]

can anybody identify these four species of sharks including this species of ray? but before you do don't answer that there generic

[sbell]

Your last few pictures were from the company FUL, and whether it suits you or not, unfortunately they don't make figures that are defined to the species.

I have lots from them (lizards, sea creatures, and yes, some of the sharks as you've shown) but they aren't very easily identified.

[copper]

i'm confused about the exact species of this dart frog, can you help me out : )

[brontodocus]

Hi copper, this looks like the small-spotted variant of the extremely variable Harlequin Poison Frog, Oophaga histrionica (formerly Dendrobates histrionicus). Here's an overview of the colour morphs of O. histrionica, and the colour pattern of your figure is amongst them (yes, all frogs in the picture are the same species!):

Hope that could help!

[sauroid]

very cool and helpful chart. the maker should have known better than writing the species name in capital letter tho.

Hope that could help!

Ah, thanks! i thought it had something to do with o. histrionica. i didn't know the "names" they use to separate the variations so the closest i could get was finding photos of the frogs with the larger spots : )
thanks brontodocus!
