Wild Animals - Sunday Stamps II

After struggling last week, this week couldn't have been more different with so many stamps to choose from.

Africa is a continent with many animals depicted on stamps, some of which I have included before. The King of them all for me is shown on a Malawi stamp from 2011, one of the Big Five.

Not quite as attractive is the animal on stamp from 1954 - head and shoulders only.

South Africa - Warthog

The Czech Republic has many wild animal shots; some smaller one are shown in these stamps from April 1996.

They are from left to right:

• Eliomys quercinus - Garden Dormouse
• Dryomys nitedula - Forest Dormouse
• Spermophilus citellus - European Ground Squirrel
• Sicista betulina - Northern Birch Mouse

Animals in the wild - Sunday Stamps II

I looked for a lion stamp as a tribute to Cecil. Unfortunately I could not find one, nor one of a dentist in the wild.

Czechoslovakia has some fine animal stamps. Here are four that I like in particular.

Wild Cat & Beaver

Brown Long-Eared Bat & Marmot

You need very good eyes to see that these stamps have 1990 on the vertical edges.

Wild Animals - Sunday Stamps

Africa has many of the world's most impressive animals. These two, endangered by poachers and the ivory trade, are unmistakable. 

South Africa - Rhino & Elephant

This antelope appears on an environmental conservation stamp.

Republic of South Africa - Damaliscus dorcas

A much smaller antelope with a charming name appears on my fourth and final stamp today.

South West Africa - Kirk's Dik-Dik

I was surprised at how many stamps I had to meet this week's wild animal theme. Please check out those chosen by others at Viridian's Sunday-stamps-135.
