That’s very suprising, but you’re totally right.

Surely there is something somewhere, though I have yet to find a thing.

I’m beginning a craving for these kind of wonderful replicas

I really like these articles. I remember in the private school I attended, okapi was the animal they used for “O” in their lesson plan to help teach the kindergarteners their ABC’s.

Actually, there are less than you can imagine. I have yet to see one of a coelacanth or saola, but then that’s jumping ahead of the story for today.

One or a few at a time, so I’ll stay on-target and on-topic with the okapis.

Darren Naish has just backchanneled me, saying he thinks the unknown okapi replica appears to be from the Chinese company AAA, but he’s not certain.

I appreciate the feedback that most people are enjoying where this feature is going.

I’d imagine there are a ton of cryptozoological animals in replica form. Like the Thylacine, Architeuthus, coelacanth, Saola, moa, etc. I’m trying to find a Laotion Rock Rat…

Maybe, to go out on a limb, cougars and grizzely bears if in the context of Colorado or the eastern US? (I suppose one could also get a chimp replica and put it in the context of the Bili Ape, but again, definetly out on a limb).

Agreed. I’m wishing I still had my old plastic dinos now. I do have an inflatable pterodactyl, though…
Seriously, though, this stuff is neat, Loren. Thanks.
