I would like to help me with this figures  .





These are from Safari but I dont know which series and year they are  .

I think that are Safari authentics, also with a giant squid and

Thank you very much friend, Do you know the year of these figures  ?

I have no idea about that, could it be a specie of kingfisher?

Hmm, the figure indeed reminds of a kingfisher - but the text on the pamphlet indicates something different. I've never heard of the German vernacular name "Eremitenvogel" by the way. The colours are unusual for a kingfisher, especially because the back seems to have a lighter colour than the belly. Somehow it reminds me of a Ruddy Kingfisher, Halcyon coromanda, only with more or less inverted colours and I don't know any other kingfisher with colours that would match. The tail seems very long for a kingfisher, too.

Thank you, i also never heard of the Eremitenvogel. But a Ruddy kingfisher dont live and hunt in the area of the Adriatic sea. So i really dont know. The other birds of this Elastolin serie are real (Eurasian bittern, woodpecker, owl, crane...) but this

anyone know what species Safaris Retired Baboon is supposed to be?

[brontodocus]

Difficult to say, I don't have the figure and Papio species other than P. hamadryas are very similar to each other (in fact they have long been regarded as representatives of the same species). The somewhat reddish brown fur colour may suggest a Guinea Baboon, Papio papio, but I can't rule out P. anubis, cynocephalus, and ursinus.

I have a box set that includes the Baboon on its way to my house. Maybe if I post a Walk around it could help Identify the species?

Im not sure if this is the right place to ask this, but is there difference in species between these Safari Lions?

This is Safaris Angolan Lion


and this is there Default Lion


Now is an Angolan lion a different Species? or is it just a different name?   Also, is the Default lion an Angolan one?

A angolian lion is a subspecie, you can see it in the different colours of the mane.

Yes, it would be the south-western subspecies. However, the division of African lions into subspecies is not undisputed and e.g. IUCN only recognises a single African subspecies (Panthera leo leo) plus the Asiatic one (P. l. persica).

I know the species (juvenile red eared slider) but I didn't see a thread to ask for brand identification (sorry if I missed it)
the seller got it in a lot along with an epoch sea turtle, but neither of us could identify a brand (theres no writing on it at all)

[stemturtle]

The baby red-eared slider is made by Yujin, Series 2, #1. Pop off the shell to find it marked on the underside of the carapace.

[stargatedalek]

thanks!
that was a big load off my mind, I keep seeing this little guy around ebay and whatnot (but labelled as a bunch of different things, I've seen it labelled as Tomy, Kaiyodo, even AAA) and it was really nagging at me

[MaastrichianGuy]

anybody know the name of this species of dart frog?

[brontodocus]

Hi and welcome MaastrichianGuy, I'm not aware of any dendrobatid that is green with a black back with two red or brown stripes, it seems to be quite a generic figure. However, it reminds me a little of the well known Phyllobates vittatus to some extent, a species which is predominantly black with two yellowish to reddish dorsal stripes and  greenish or greyish belly and legs. But there are dozens of other dendrobatids with similar dorsal stripes.

[MaastrichianGuy]

any idea what is this species of crocodile is?

[stargatedalek]

due to the unusually upright posture I'm tempted to say an extinct group, but I don't remember any more details than that sorry

yeah Saurosuchus (or related) is what came to me first, but this is well beyond my taxonomic expertise.

[MaastrichianGuy]

can anybody know the name of this species of yellow colored hummingbird?

[sbell]

any idea what is this species of crocodile is?

I have that one. It's supposed to be a Nile Crocodile. It's from one of their rain forest tubes. I believe the name is on the belly.

The frog you showed is also from that set, but is not identified to a particular species.
