Wild Animals
20 July 1994
Wild animals have always been a source of fascination amongst children and it was this subject that was selected for the 1994 stamp issue that coincided with Stamp Month - a month long promotion each year that promotes stamp collecting amoung children.
The ten animals were carefully selected as being ones that children would recognise most readily. Most of them can also be found in zoos in New Zealand. Each stamp also presents a mini lesson in geography, with a small map showing where each animal comes from.
The Polar bear, Siberian tiger and Giant panda are found in three of the most forbidding regions on earth. Each has evolved to cope with harsh climatic extremes. The mountains of central and western China are the panda's only known habitat. Also rare is the magnificent Siberian tiger, the largest member of the cat family.
Africa means wild animals to many - the animals chosen from the jungles and open, grassy plains were the giraffe, African lion and African elephant along with the Plains zebra, the White rhinoceros and the hippopotamus. The spider monkey is found in the forests between Mexico and the southern part of the Amazon basin.
The stamps were produced in strips of ten with ten such strips (rows) to a full sheet of stamps. Each row of stamps on each sheet had the stamps in a different order, so no one stamp design appeared twice in the same position on any row of stamps.Miniature Sheet of six stamps.
