THE CURIOUS COMPENDIUM

A Curated Collection of the Planet's Creatures

Check us out on Facebook (Zoonotic) and Instagram (Zoonoticpm)!

NORTH AMERICAN AND EUROPEAN COLLECTION

Temperate Mammals

This is the group most familiar to myself;
Northern region mammal species such as
wolves, bison, lynx, beaver, etc.

SOUTH AMERICAN COLLECTION

Southern Hemisphere Mammals

A very under-represented continent full of
treasures; tapirs, maned wolves, new world
primates, etc.

AFRICAN COLLECTION

Classic Safari Mammals

Here are some of the most iconic and
charismatic species around, I need not go further.

ASIAN COLLECTION

Cryptic Mammals

Also a neglected region of the world, containing
some of the most beautiful mammals around.
Raccoon dogs, tigers, Asian elephants, etc.

OCEANIAN COLLECTION

Mammal Outliers

This is a true petri dish of evolutionary life! Monotremes, marsupial mammals, and wildly successful transplants from far off places.

AMPHIBIAN COLLECTION

Frogs, Salamanders, and Newts

Reminiscent of the early transition from aquatic
life to terrestrial, these guys have one foot on
dry land and one left in the water.

DOMESTIC FARMLIFE COLLECTION

LIVESTOCK

Domestic versions of cows, pigs,
goats, sheep, and fowl.

DOMESTIC PETS COLLECTION

Animals in the Home- Dogs, Cats, Fish, etc.

We have developed even closer bonds with
select animals; man's best friend, the world's
best vermin hunters, even with "wet pets".

CHELONIAN COLLECTION

Testudines- Turtles, Tortoises, Terrapins

Nothing beats the safety of a shell! I hope
you enjoy cactus eating land tortoises, water
loving turtles, and grinning terrapins.

REPTILIAN COLLECTION

Quadrupedal and Legless Reptiles

Crocodiles, monitors, chameleons, and
snakes- oh my! Regardless of what your poison
is, your scaly friends lurk here.

AVIAN COLLECTION

Modern Feathered Reptiles

Soar through the skies with an assortment
of colors, adaptations, and feathers!

EQUINE COLLECTION

Donkeys and Horses

Domesticated versions of equines;
both horses, donkeys, and even hybrids.

INSECTS, FANTASY, ETC. COLLECTION

Insects and Arachnids, Fantastic Species, Historical Pieces

Six and eight legged miniature animals,
classic mythological fauna, historical
representations of our past, even a few plants
are presented.

AQUATIC COLLECTION

Fish, Marine Mammals, Invertebrates, etc.

A catch-all group for the water related species
we love. The largest of whales, the oldest of
sharks, a parade of corals and reef fishes,
even a few snails!

PREHISTORIC COLLECTION

Extinct Fauna

Walk with the ancient animals that once walked
the Earth, swam its oceans, and flew in its skies.

WELCOME TO THE CURIOUS COMPENDIUM

A Lifelong Passion

Welcome to what I call, The Curious Compendium! This is a presentation of my collection as it is curated, and it will evolve and expand as I find new things to add in. I have a wide interest in species and brands, makes and finish, and even eras of production. This is (roughly) a 5,000 piece collection and its only growing! I hope that my photos are useful for those looking for models, learning, or in need of comparisons. This website does not contain extensive information for each model so please use this site in conjunction with the Toy Animal Wiki for that.
