From the Great Plains to the volcanoes of central Africa — an American bison, a bighorn ram, a leaping impala, a lioness, a blue wildebeest and a mountain gorilla silverback, joined by an ostrich bonus figure. Seven hand-painted, museum-style trophy busts, each with a magnetic head that doubles as a fridge magnet, and each with a survival story worth telling.

American Bison

America’s national mammal and the heaviest land animal on the continent — cut from tens of millions to fewer than a thousand, and brought back from the edge.

Bighorn Sheep

A ram’s horns can outweigh the rest of its skeleton, and two rams crash together at about 20 mph to settle who’s boss. You can count its age in the rings.

Impala

Startled impalas explode into leaps up to ten feet high and thirty feet long, scattering so fast that predators can’t pick a target.

Female African Lion

The heart of the pride: lionesses live with their sisters and mothers for life, raise cubs together and do most of the hunting as a team.

Blue Wildebeest

The star of the Great Migration — about 1.5 million wildebeest follow the rains each year, and their calves are on their feet within minutes of birth.

Mountain Silverback Gorilla

The silverback leads and protects his family on the misty volcano slopes of central Africa. Down to a few hundred in the 1980s, mountain gorillas now number just over a thousand.

Common Ostrich

Vol.4’s collector’s bonus figure: the largest bird alive, with eyes bigger than its brain — and no, it doesn’t bury its head in the sand.

Made only as the maker’s pre-order bonus and never reproduced — shown here to complete the encyclopedia.
