EDB13 Bulldog – Bust (Fawn)
“I once saw a dog that looked kinda neat,
Its chest was swung low and it had fat feet.
Its nose was pushed in and it had really big eyes,
It had a very little butt with some muscular thighs.
Its ears were called rose and sat perky on its head,
I could tell from the yawns it was on the way to bed.
Just when I thought it was getting all tired out,
It got down in the bow and started jumping about.
I knew then and there this was a dog I had to own,
Its owner said it?s a Bulldog and it?s bad to the bone!”

EDB15 Tyrannosaurus Rex – Bust
Henry Fairfield Osborn, president of the American Museum of Natural History, named the Tyrannosaurus Rex in 1905. The generic name is derived from the Greek words tyrannos, meaning “tyrant” and sauros, meaning “lizard”. Osborn used the Latin word rex, meaning “king”, for the specific name. The full binomial therefore translates to “tyrant lizard the king” or “King Tyrant Lizard”, emphasizing the animal’s size and perceived dominance over other species of the time.

“Where in this world can man find
Nobility without pride,
Friendship without envy,
Or beauty without vanity?
Here, where grace is served with muscle
And strength by gentleness confined.”

EDB21 Panther – Bust
“A black shadow dropped down into the circle. It was Bagheera the Black Panther, inky black all over, but with the panther markings showing up in certain lights like the pattern of watered silk. Everybody knew Bagheera, and nobody cared to cross his path, for he was as cunning as Tabaqui, as bold as the wild buffalo, and as reckless as the wounded elephant. But he had a voice as soft as wild honey dripping from a tree, and a skin softer than down.”

EDB22 African Elephant – Bust
“I will remember what I was. I am sick of rope and chain-
I will remember my old strength and all my forest-affairs.
I will not sell my back to man for a bundle of sugarcane.
I will go out to my own kind, and the wood-folk in their lairs.
I will go out until the day, until the morning break,
Out to the winds ‘untainted kiss, the waters’ clean caress.
I will forget my ankle-ring and snap my picket-stake.
I will revisit my lost loves, and playmates masterless!”
Toomai of the Elephants
A Poem by Rudyard Kipling
EDB23B Golden Eagle – Bust
“He clasps the crag with crooked hands;
Close to the sun in lonely lands,
Ring’d with the azure world, he stands.
The wrinkled sea beneath him crawls;
He watches from his mountain walls,
And like a thunderbolt he falls.”
The Eagle
A Poem by Alfred, Lord Tennyson
