Giant panda:

The giant panda (Ailuropoda melanoleuca), also known as the panda bear or simply panda, is a bear species endemic to China. It is characterised by its black-and-white coat and rotund body.The giant panda is found in only six mountainous regions in several provinces. It is also found at elevations up to 3,000 meters (9,800 feet) above sea level. Its diet consists almost entirely of bamboo, which makes the bear primarily herbivorous, despite being categorized as a carnivore.

White Bengal tigers:

The white tiger or bleached tiger is a leucistic pigmentation variant of the mainland Asian tiger.The white fur is caused by a lack of the pigment pheomelanin, which is found in Bengal tigers with orange color fur. When compared to Bengal tigers, the white Bengal tigers tend to grow faster and become heavier than the orange Bengal tiger.For a white Bengal tiger to be born, both parents must carry the unusual gene for white colouring, which only happens naturally about once in 10,000 births.lifeli10.jpg

These are interesting. I noticed you're attaching images but not inserting them into the posts, which is why they're appearing as small thumbnails to download. I have inserted the first image for you and took some screenshots of the process so you can follow the instructions and insert the rest of the images yourself by modifying the posts :)  https://animaltoyforum.com/index.php?topic=2343.msg42564#msg42564

What an interesting concept for a thread!

Here I leave some of my own photos of living species together with photos of some of my figurines, the result will be not as nice because my photos are not so good and not in the same posture than the figurines, but still I hope you enjoy!
