If you are interested in the plastic animals sold in most zoo gift stores, you may be interested in the website Schleichtiersammler.com. It is a forum about such creatures. You can own your very own saola, king cheetah, white tailed wildebeest, gaur, clouded leopard, coelacanth, and many more, including all the bread and butter zoo animals, in various poses. This web site doesn't sell them, but discusses them and shows pictures, and gets you all jazzed up to buy them. There is also a part which features non-factory, limited edition sculpted beasts, made by artists. They will often sell figurines which are works of art, very well done, and also quite expensive. If you have the dough, they are worth it. You can buy your own replica beasts and make your own fantasy zoo in a fraction of the space of a real one, and for a lot less money.
