Planning my next review has me wondering if I want to break that streak or not.

EDIT: Although the anhinga shouldn't count as marine, aquatic for sure though.

sounds fishy!

EDIT: I was going to note that the invertebrates are having a good run!

Wrapping up the "Savanah Summer" with Noah's Pals Dromedary Camels!

That was a fun theme. I have a theme planned (similar to our Shark Week theme) that I will announce in upcoming weeks!

Sweet! Actually thinking of setting a challenge for Autumn, see if anyone picks up as well. Going for a "no mammal autumn challenge"!

that could conflict with my theme but mine is only for a week.

I like themes but I don't think I could swear off of a clade for 3 months.

EDIT: I am considering a spooky animal theme for my reviews in October (Halloween).

@Gwangi - that was the theme I was going to propose for the week of 25-31 (or longer)!!!!! Halloween!

Rats, black cats, ravens, owls, bats, spiders, scorpions, etc. I have another 'Halloween novelty' figure to review! I posted on the 31st last year, so I'll probably post on the 29th or 30th this year, giving someone else the opportunity!

To be fair, I doubt I'd last the full time, not got enough non mammals for it. Just seeing how long I (or any others interested) can go.

Well that seals it for me, for all of October I'll be reviewing "creepy critters".

Probably should've waited for someone to review a pollock figure first to make this really clever, but here's the Safari sei whale

It occurs to me that my last 12 reviews have all been aquatic or semi-aquatic animals. Totally unintentional. My last terrestrial animal was the snub-nosed monkey on June 3rd.

Bamboo shark
American white pelican
Anhinga
Sunflower sea star
Chinhai Spiny Newt
American alligator
Blue damselfish
Zebra shark
Nurse shark
Leopard seal
Atlantic goliath grouper
Lemon shark

Haha, at least it's a diverse assortment covering a range of taxa! That's what's really important.
