Perfect! I even never thought of that!

Mine's up, it will go live in about 12 hours.

We'll need some new categories though...holocephalans (or whatever it wants to go in as) and Discovery Science

thanks Sean. I added the Category Discovery Science. For now, all chondrichthyes are under 'Sharks and Rays' but that's open for debate/change (not sure there are enough chimera figures to justify a split, but I'm open to it!).

I had to remove it from the schedule to edit it, so I'll push it live tomorrow, its intended time! Thanks for the contribution!

But...it's not a shark! Or a ray!

That would be like calling a horse an artiodactyl!

I think just changing "sharks and rays" to "cartilaginous fishes" would be sufficient but I understand it's not as user friendly.

Sharks, Rays, & Kin?

We could get really pedantic, but in the end we are organize reviews of toys and must consider the audience is probably not made up primarily of taxonomic zoologists  8) :P C:-)

That works.

I really wouldn't be surprised if it was, if not other collectors or a combination of both at least. I doubt there's a lot of parents out there researching the craftsmanship and accuracy of the animal toys that they buy for their kids. I would be happy if I were wrong about that though.

It has come to my attention that today is International Ghost Shark Day. A missed opportunity for the blog! Should have timed that ghost shark review better.  ;D
