Those who have been collecting animals on stamps must have realised after a considerable time in terms of years of collection that most of the countries have been issuing stamps on animals found not only within their own geographical boundaries; but also on animals in their zoological gardens.

With the years it is becoming almost impossible to collect all stamps on animals in order to form a “domestic zoo” in the stock book. For such philatelists or stamp collectors there is no other way left than to restrict their choice for a particular animal, which the compiler may define as his or her favourite.
