How do these animals compare to the Safari Ltd TOOBs?

Not familiar with the other item, but can say this has been the top toy played at grandpa's house

No safari animals. Just the basic. Dogs, cats, fish, birds and farm animals etc.

In my humble opinion these are take the kid to the beach binoculars, the only thing right about them is the price. Going on safari, in Africa I presume, demands a bit more research. There are 8x or 10x by 42 that are just better, and they are smaller. A bit more money perhaps but worth it. Vortex, Nikon, Celestron to name a few.

Hmmmm I would suggest you ask in an ape store. My understanding is that both are unibody and same design outside.

For that short distance it would be ok, as long as that they get along good. I would say you could transport 3 african treys in it possibly 4, for short trips.

Its basically the safari, with an aluminum body, depending on what kind of nib you had chosen with the safari, if you had always used extra fine with the safari then this pen basically feels the same in terms of being a little more scratchy than a fine and more so then a medium nib. Depending on your preferences this pen may be better or worse, some people prefer the hard plastic feel of the safari but i personally like the nice cold aluminum that encompasses this pen, it almost feels a little thinner than the safari exterior, and may scratch a little easier, but i still like this more than the safari none the less.

I would say, "Yes.". Obviously these are not Leica optics, but they are very bright and clear. For the price, they are excellent. Bear in mind what power you may need on a safari.

I have owned the golden for years and love them. I also have long haired shih-Tzu and they work very well weather trimming or cutting shorter for summer. The only thing I see different is speed rate. Turbo is faster, but depends if you feel you need that or just like the word "turbo". The golden has been their #1 for years.

I've owned both. The Big Mabel is fun but less performance oriented than the Warbird. The main difference is the Mabel is basically flat underneath with the back rest extending to the edges. The Warbird angles up slightly on either side like wings and the back rest is slightly inboard. The result is that the Warbird can go ridiculously fast back and forth across the wakes while being almost impossible to catch an edge and flip. The other side of that coin is that it tend to smooth out the ramp going over the wakes and is slightly harder to get as much pop and get as airborne as the Mabel. It still will catch air over the wakes but not as much. Secondly, it definitely pulls easier than the Mabel. The Mabel loaded with passengers can feel like a boat anchor out there. On less powerfull boats this might be a factor. It certainly results in more fuel burn. Our boat is quite over powered and designed to be a towboat. After a season in the Florida Sun and humidity, we ended up tearing the skin right off the Mabel while towing. The drag of the Mabel combined with the pull of the boat resulted in failure of the nylon cover. Never had any problems with the bladders. That was the second Big Mable we had and both met their demise in the same way, by having the nylon cover pulled apart. The Warrior looks to be built a little more durable. That combined with the more hydrodynamic bottom shape should equal much longer useful life. Both are fun. Mabel pops higher and makes for some pretty spectacular wipeouts, but is not that durable. The Warrior is fun too but slides so smoothly it almost makes it too easy.

I used the 9x lithium batteries on a recent African safari and thought the battery life was very good. I took 1500 photos and changed the batteries only once,with life still left on the second set.

I posted a similar question under the animal product review. Reply post indicates that the animal isn't worth the extra $50 over the DC25.

Never having ridden either of the other two, I can't definitively say if they are equal in quality or not. But, the Dahon is very well-built, and very comfortable.

Just get the long hair one. They work very well and it should do fine on both animals.

I think this is the difference:Features twist-up eyecups and a large center-focus knob for easy adjustments; I used two pairs in South Africa on some safaris and they were amazing! Glad I bought two pairs for my friends an my family!

I have a new Queensland Heeler and have been using the 18 inch ones with great results. She is learning the difference between a 'play bite' and a 'work bite.' Was surprised to see so many responses for use with animals! Will be buying the 23 inch ones today. People keep looking at my bruised upper arms then at my husband. Thanks for the input!

The trees look identical and that is why I was so confident in ordering the one from GoPetClub. However the GoPetClub tree was a scaled down version....everything was about 2" smaller. The top platforms were only 13x13 vs. the one from BestPet that was 15x15. It cost me almost half the price of the tree to mail it back! The housing was much smaller too. I really can't say how they can claim it weighs the same as the larger tree. Hope this helps you out.
