Our world is home to many fascinating creatures. With landscapes from deserts to rainforests, savannas to mountains, and everything in between, it’s no surprise that the world’s animals are as diverse as the landscape! Our new Wild Animal Series is a celebration of wildlife everywhere.
Meet Tamu & Chai - our third release in the Breyer Wild Animal Series. For this special Wild Animal Series set, artist Lauren Hoeffer creatively reimagined two beloved Breyer foals as a young bongo and tapir! Considered the most primitive large mammal in the world, the tapir is born with spots and stripes that act as natural camouflage against the jungle floor while mom forages. Chai features a shaded brown coat with tan stripes and a matte finish.
Much like the tapir, forest-dwelling bongos also have stripes for camouflage, but their stripes remain for their whole life. Tamu has a white basecoat that’s shaded the bongo’s trademark reddish-brown hue, and completed with white stripes and markings. Both have “Wild Animal Series, Limited Edition” on their belly.
