My Little Garden Zoo 2020

I've been staging my zoo now for the past 7 years.  It started out very humbly.  A Common Warthog, a Squirrel Monkey, a Burchell's Plains Zebra and a Chimpanzee.  All purchased at a local toy store on a whim.  A study in how obsessions begin...

Today I have well over 350 figurines representing 180 + different species!  The last time I have all of my collection out in My Little Garden Zoo was the summer of 2017 and it took over 70 containers all over the place to accommodate it!  This year, like last, will be a selective affair.  I count about 40 plant containers with a potential of hosting between 45 and 50 species.

To date I have prepped the following:

NORTH AMERICA
Bobcats
North American Black Bear
American Alligator
Harbor Seals

SOUTH AMERICA
South American AVIARY with: Hyacinth Macaw, Toto Toucan and Keel-billed Toucan (not shown: Blue & Yellow Macaw and Scarlet Macaw)
Chilean Flamingos
ASIA

Bactrian Camels
Malayan Tigers
AFRICA


African Lion
Not shown
ASIA - Giant Pandas
AFRICA - Ring-tailed Lemur

What does that leave?  39-44 possibilities for other habitats.  Awesome choices yet to make!
