Mi primer sello de Guinea-Bissau y mi primer sello de una orca (Orcinus orca). Fue emitido en el año 1984 con sólo 95.000 ejemplares en circulación en una serie dedicada a ballenas.
Muchas veces, cuando pensamos en estas especies nos vamos muy lejos y es un error porque la orca surca nuestros mares, tanto el mediterráneo, incluído el estrecho de gibraltar persiguiendo al atún rojo, como en las costas atlánticas y el mar cantábrico.
Hay normativas que establecen que, en el caso de que el encuentro se produzca, no podemos acercarnos, debiendo matener una distancia mínima de 500 metros. El motivo es variado pero han llegado a romper partes de embarcaciones lo que ha traído de cabeza a gobiernos y se han generado proyectos de investigación para ver qué se puede hacer al respecto. Se me ocurren dos cosas: limitar las molestias, respetar su ambiente y no destruir su comida.
No obstante, a pesar de los peligros que entraña para su bienestar el molestar a gobiernos me quito el sombrero, quizá es el comienzo de lo que a veces fantaseamos como la revolución animal. Chicken run ya nos da pistas de por dónde pueden ir los tiros.

Whales and Dolphins (Marine Animals by Panini), Part 1

So after spending so long on a single company, reviewing in-depth every figure by Replica Toy Fish…why not work on a (nearly) entire series from a different company!? This time, I’m going to work through the marine figures produced by Italian company Panini. I will be approaching it differently–the figures are very small, and very stylized, so a relatively brief overview will be more […]

Review and images by Suspsy; edited by bmathison1972

Killer Whale, 2018 (Wildlife Ocean by Schleich)

The world’s largest and most visually striking dolphin, one of its most intelligent animals, and undisputedly one of its most accomplished predators, the killer whale (Orcinus orca) needs no introduction from me. Whether they’re attacking boats or wearing dead salmon as hats the orca is constantly generating interest and is one of our most beloved and familiar animals. Where toys and […]

An introduction to Animal Heavenly Body. They are a Chinese company, akin to a mix of PNSO and Haolonggood with […]
