Today this terrible fish, a Dunkleosteus, was in my mailbox :

It came all the way from my friend Mihnea in Rumania.
It is really, really well made, the picture does not give it justice, but it is the best, I can do

The skin has a golden hue, it was lying on my desk, it almost scared me, it looks like a real fish

Thanks, Mihnea, you opened a new world to me

- maybe some of our experts can tell me more about ?

Congratulations Susanne, it looks amazingly real!

I am soooooooo glad it arrived safely!I have do idea why it took so long...
Did you receive the surprize,too?

beautiful figure made by Safari ltda.

Dunkleosteus is considered one of the fiercest and most marine predators , his weighing one ton, this hunter was the top of the food chain in their environment, and probably preyed all kinds of wildlife.

sussane,enjoy it.

Maybe it took so long, because the fish and the surprise-bird were discussing ? But as you can see, they are very good friends now

that is one scary fish!


It looks gorgeous. Dont realy collect prehistoric life but I just might consider buying it.... someday. Feels like my wishlist has become a little too big.

Oh, if I where only a milionare

It is a wonderful model Susanne, I still love mine very much.

I'm very happy you love it too

I am very happy you guys/gals like him, too, - he is a "he", don`t you think ?

He was such a pleasant surprise. Something quite different for me, - he is going to live on my piano together with his little birdie-companion

"He" look great. it's time to teach "He" piano.

Love the fish figures, I have a lot of the Japanese ones and a few fossils but I traded some of my bigger scale figures away as I am trying to cut back my collection.

Safari are the best in creating authentic prehistoric creatures and dinosaurs.
Modern wildlife...not so much.
