Safari, but thumbs up to both for small portable fun in a tube toob that will let imaginations run wild and keep kids occupied during outings while their parents might enjoy an adult beverage and reminisce about the unregulated toys covered in lead-based paint they used to play with that I'm sure had absolutely no impact on their behavior or development. All good for the price, but if you have a younger child at the phase where they love putting things into containers and taking them out again and again, they'll get frustrated with this product.
The knotted rope handle gets in the way, but I cut it off and it is still tough to put all the animals in and take them out. When you turn the tube upside down you can't shake the animals out, they get stuck. My kiddo was fascinated at first but after a few minutes of frustration refused to play with it. Would be good for an older kid, but since it is advertised as a "TOOB" it's the main reason I bought it and am disappointed that the opening isn't wider.
Even I had trouble trying to get the lid shut with all 12 pieces in, at times it wasn't possible and would have to pull animals out and refit them in. If the tube was wider this would be perfect for some "quiet time" play when out in public. Nice set of animals. They are a bit larger in size than others we own, which is better for the kids but harder on storage. The brown bear is an American black bear so not from the jungle. Was very happy to get a Bactrian camel for Asia's continent box.
The painting on the lion was rather brown and flat, so we went with something else. The African elephant was a great size and we loved the carved detail on the hippopotamus. The tiger did not have the white underside like real tigers do and the crocodile was too green to be realistic. The gorilla was nothing special and seemed was smaller. The zebra was carved nicely but the black wash left it looking more grey than white. I was very happy to get the black panther which is a leopard for our Asian continent box. I bought these animals to make animal magnets.
They are made of solid plastic and are easy to cut in half using a large kitchen knife. I picked up some cheap, strong magnets from Harbor Freight and used epoxy to glue them on. If you get the magnet polarity right, you can make some fun, strange creatures by combining the head and tail of different animals.

Just for reference, the Camel is 1. Animals are smaller than expected and some of them are painted weirdly. The giraffe's front feet were still connected when they shouldn't be - I used scissors to cut the plastic apart. Of course my kid doesn't care, just a quality thing I notice. The "toob" is actually a plastic square and it's hard for little ones to get the animals in and out of it. Wish I had done comparison shopping because I could have picked up 24 of these same quality animals in a nice bucket for the same price from the bullseye store. I bought these as teaching aids to help my kids learn about different animals around the world.
Concepts are so much easier for them to grasp if they can hold and play with the animals they're leaning about, rather than just reading about them in a book. The animals are well crafted, the pieces have been nicely painted and they're fairly detailed which helps them look more realistic - the tiger has fur, the hippo has wrinkles, and the crocodile has armor. They also have their names on the underside in case you need help identifying what they are.
Most of the pieces in this set stand up on their own fairly well, although some are a little wobbly. The zebra in this set could be a little better as well. Its stripes are smeared on one side and dusted to look more gray than white.

The only thing I find a little cumbersome is the tube itself. While it's great for storing, it's compact size and odd shape makes it difficult to get the animals in and out - the rope handle also seems to get in the way. Other than the somewhat troublesome tube and the paint job on the zebra, the animals in this set are great and I will definitely be buying more of these collections.

Withoutabox Submit to Film Festivals. They are bugger tha n squirrels. Bactrian Camel Long legs allow Bactrian Camel to travel great distances easily. Fat stored in two humps. The Bactrian Camels are classified as herbivores. They live primarly in Central Asian deserts north of the Himalayas. The Bactrian Camel has a remarkable capacity to endure extreme temperatures, both high and low. It lives in small groups of up to twenty individuals, led by an adult male.
The camel can go without food and water for 3 to 4 days. There is Arabian Camel with similar adaptations. Elephant It has a trunk and tusks which keep him alive. It uses its tusks in order to protect himself. It uses its trunk in order to drink, gather food and bathe itself. These things are a physical part of the animal. If the animal did not have these things it would not be able to eat, drink, bath itself or protect itself.
Giraffe Special adaptations of Giraffe are that she can be long time without water and with her long neck she could eat food at high levels in the treetops. These adaptations are physical. If Giraffe did not have these adaptations, it might have some problems like it can not drink water and it is hard to get food. Also it can not live in savanna.
Yes other animals in savanna have some similar adaptions like they can be long time without water. For example elephant, zebra. Zebra Zebars live in savannas. They can run quickly to escape from predator like lions, hyenas , because they have long legs. They eat grasses and drink water veru often, so they must stay near the water.
They move as one big family. Those are the behavioural adaptations. Zebras are closely related to horses and donkeys. Polar Bear Polar bear has thick fur to protect itself from cold. It has fat under its skin. They have longer legs than other bears have and have very furry feet. These feet help to distribute their weight as they walk on a thin ice.
All these are physical adaptions. Polar bear would feel very cold without thick skin, it would be hard to insulate them in the frigid waters without hollow hairs. Without their large feet they wouldn't stay on the thin ice. There live also phocas who have streamlined and slippery skin and they have thick skin. Polar bear eats them. Polar bears are very dangerous animals for people.
They are white and it is quite good adaption to hide there in Arctic pole where everything is white and bright.

It is good when it hunts phocas. When female polar bear gets little polar bears then she hs to hide them from male polar bear because he may eat them to get attention of female polar bear. Wallaroo They have furry pads on feet. They are good for rock climbing. They dig actually for water. These adaptions are behavioural part of the animal. This animal is adpted to heat and dryness. If this animal would not have these adaptions it would not get water and if it would not have furry pads it could not climb. There are other animals too, who adapted with these things, like wallabies, pademelons, tree-kangaroos, forets allabies and potoroos.
White-Cheeked Gibbon This little monkey lives in high canopy of tropical rainforests. Usually they eat small and pulpy fruit, buds, young leaves and sometimes invertebrates too. Family members feed together usually, but sometimes they forage alone. But when they are going to rest or sleep at night they get together again. Their home territory is very large, about 8,5 acres. But it may vary very much. And they protect their area very carefully. Single offsprings born every year two or three years after month gestation.
Their maturity occurs when they are about 6 years old. But males leave the family when they are about 8 years old. Usually they live about 25 or more years. Koala Koalas are perfectly designed for their tree-dwelling life. Their hands have a large gap between the first and second fingers and their big toe is set ata a wide angle to the foot. This gives the koala vicelike grip on branches. They comfortabely sit in a tree alla day because of their thickly padded toes. That means the adaptation is more of a behaviour, if they would not eat eucalypt tree leaves they would drink a lot more water because they get the water from the leaves.
If kola would not climb trees, it could have been eaten out of existence, because they are too slow to escape from predators as dingoes are. There are not many animals who have similar adptions as koala, in fact there are none in koala's environment. But near their environment is an animal called three toed sloth, who also climbs trees and is slow. Squirrel Squirrel has got strong teeth, it brakes nuts with them. It also runs and hides itself to the treetops.
Its enemies are bigger animals and people. It also has got claws. Adaptations are physical but also behavioural too. When squirrel did not got teeth it could not eat or when it did not run away it could be eaten. Squirrel is a very interesting animal. Similar to it is beaver. Koala Koalas have an opposable modified index finger that acts as a second thumb.
Their big toe is set at a wide angle to the foot. The adaptations are more of a behaviour that the koala uses. It would not get any food. The sloth has similar adaptions. Armadillo Armadillos are mammals. There are 20 species of Armadillos, grouped in 9 genera and distributed through America from Argentina to the South-Eastern corner of U. Many armadillos are nocturnal. They live in burrows when not active. Armadillos live on a variety of food. Insects and other invertebrates, plants and small vertebrates such as snakes and lizards. Naked-tailed armadillos feed mainly on ants and termites.
The young are born with a soft leathery skin which hardens after a few days. Zebra Zebras are abel to run 40mph.

Zebras use hooves and teeth in defence. They have stripes to recognize each other. They live in family group. Family group has a leader, sometimes 2 leaders. Also stripes confuse tsetse flies who can not see zebra for the stripes. Some of those adaptions are physical part of the animal.
There are also some adaptions that they use. If zebras would not live in groups they would be weaker. If they could not run that fast predators would kill more zebras then they do now. If zebras would not have stripes they would not be able to recognize each other that well and tsetse flies would see them well. In this environment deers and antilopes can also run fast. With that aptations they can escape from predators.
Californian King Snake Californian King Snake is partially or wholly immune to the venom of rattlesnakes and is able to eat and kill them. These adaptions are more of a behavioural ones and the Californian King Snake uses them. If the snake would not have those adaptions it would die. It might have not something to eat. Other animals who live in this environment do not have similar adaptions. Giraffe Giraffe has long neck to reach to the high trees and eat eat the leaves.
It has a muscular tongue to take the leaves. The tall neck enables to see enemies from far distance. It runs fast and can go without drinking for a long period. Giraffes can communicate with other giraffes over few miles. Giraffes can not make big sound, they only grunt, snort and bleat. They are used to sleep for minutes, not longer. They sleep and they do not lie down. When they fight they use their neck and head banging. Red Panda Red Panda feeds at night, so it does not have to compete with other animals that feed on the same things and has extra thumbs on its front paws to grab better.
So its adaptions are both physical and behavioural. Thanks to these adaptions it does not have to worry about competition or fear about predators. Another of its adaptions is shared with squirrels-the big bushy tail to keep balance while climbing. Red pandas prefer temperate forests. Platypus Platypus is perfectly designed for underwater life, it has two layers of fur - the first is short and dense and never lets water through to the skin.
The second is longer and is the layer of fur that gets wet. Platypus has the flat furry tail which stores fat for long cold winter in freezing waters. The adaptions are physical part of the animal. If platypus did not have these adaptions if its fur gets wet, it would not keep platypus warm.
