Was going to save this for next week but why wait? Papo albatross. Could we get a category for albatrosses, or seabirds in general?

@Gwangi I created a category, 'Albatrosses, Petrels & Kin' for now, to represent Procellariiformes; but I am open to 'Shorebirds' and encompass the gulls and such too (just as 'Flightless Birds' covers multiple orders)

How about "shorebirds and seabirds" which could then include Procellariiformes?

[bmathison1972]

I am cool with that, although the Pelicaniformes already have their own category, but we can do 'Seabirds & Shorebirds' for albatrosses, petrels, gulls, terns, etc.

Looking through the alligator reviews and I noticed that this review isn't tagged with the genus name.

Also, Bryan Divers seems to be running a monopoly on those alligator reviews, he's got four to his name! But there are plenty others still out there. I have one I'll eventually review someday that I guarantee no one else likely will.

Certainly snapping these ones up! Great work all!

Thanks Gwangi! I try to be consistent, but every now and then, something sneaks past me

Someone should review this alligator. Seems only right for the blog.

Hehe! Thank you! I'm not an expert, so why i left it up to debate.

But the debate in your post is what kind of Galapagos tortoise. The Aldabra is an entirely different species. What I was hinting at, is that Papo used the wrong species as the influence for their model ;-)

Having said that, the Aldabra isn't a Galapagos tortoise, is it? Thie model is a Galapagos Tortoise after all.

Oh, I see! Fair enough, don't look too dissimilar really.
