Interesting how the ATB's first three cat reviews are in ascending order of size. Guess the next one will have to be either a lion or a tiger.

I'm surprised it took this long to get something in the genus Panthera!

My first ever toob review, on here or on the DTB. Let me know what you think of the format, I'm not sure how I feel about it.

Absolutely wonderful addition, @Gwangi !!! With regards to your format, it is just fine. There is no standard format for these. Sean and I sometimes use bullets or categories for each animal but a paragraph is just fine. This is your work, so if that's the way you want to present it, that's fine by me!

I made some edits to your categories and tags. I added 'Lizards' and created and added 'Parrots' for the categories (the latter is new!). For the tags, I capitalized the genus name for the new genera and species. Otherwise the tags and categories were well done.

Yeah, I've mixed it up depending on the subject. Toobs and sets are tricky.

Side note, your set must be a newer one, the original Down Under toob came with an explorer guy too! Just like the desert and rainforest toobs.

Thanks for fixing the tags and categories, that was the most grueling part of all of this.  ;D

EDIT: No human was included in this set and I have no idea what the release date on it was.

Glad you added the Parrots category.  ;)

Only our second primate!

Is your desire for a Parrots category foreshadowing? :)

By the way, we are three posts away from number 100!!!!

...or any other would-be contributors!

greetings authors and contributors. We have 98 posts. Two away from the BIG 100! What's it gonna be? Who's gonna do it (I am stepping back from doing it since I post quite regularly)? Something exciting I hope! :-D


suspsy

I just sent in a review, so I guess that's #99?

@suspsy if you are wondering how I got it up so fast, I was just logging into the email when you sent it! Perfect timing!

I have one scheduled before Christmas. Maybe it will be #100, maybe not.

A reindeer review would certainly be appropriate. Or a polar bear one.

I do plan on submitting a new review next Sunday, but it's another South American animal.

It's an arctic animal, but not a caribou/reindeer.

I've sent my first review hoping that it's the 100th one :D
