Here another sunday, and the topic of Sunday Stamps very close to my heart :) As I must have mentioned (a million times) before animals are my favourite theme on stamps, and today we post about wild animals.
I start with a set of stamps entitled endangered species from Nevis, which I have found in a ´surprise philatelic package´ bought in a shop. I havent found much about it online, except that they were issued in 1998 (not printed on them). They show as follows: a young chimpanzee, keel-billed toucan, chaco peccary, spadefoot toad, howler monkey, alaskan brown bear, brown pelican and iguana. Quite an interesting company! The only confusing thing is, only a few of these creatures are truly endangered...
Funny. I am sure the Alaskan brown bear is not endangered. Still, a nice set.
ReplyDeleteI think only chimpanzees and peccary are endangered...
ReplyDeleteI wonder whether more of these animals were endangered in 1998.
ReplyDeleteAn attractive set of stamps - and animals, endangered or not.
ReplyDeleteA wonderful set. The expression on the face of the Howler Monkey is priceless.
