A little bit about me:My name is Karin and I go with the name NightLioness very often on the Internet. My way of collecting animal related things began when I was a small child and I never stopped since then. Now I have over 1230 model animals from many different brands. But also many animal related books (LOVE the books with scientific illustrations and guides), stamps, cards, stuffed animals and many more things. I only collect what I really like and not for the sake of collecting all the things on one specific subject. Living with my boyfriend and 5 real animals, work and social life can be a very busy things in life. Collecting is also a form of relaxation for me. Also all the things that come with collecting like; cataloging, photographing (which is also a hobby of mine), receiving parcels and trades, hunting, searching and finding stuff at flea-markets, the internet and second hand shops and being part of something bigger <3

Stuffed Animals
Only big brands like TY, WWF, Teddy Hermann and Anna Club Plush. Mostly carnivores, canines and felines are favorite. Good condition and not to big. Collecting special species that you not normally encounter as a stuffed animals.

Taxidermy
Good taxidermy is important. Whole animals or parts from them. Legal taxidermy pieces. Also small finds like feathers, shells, stones, dried up small insects and more. Very small part of my whole collection, but still a part of it.
