Animals Series

This series depicts a variety of animal, bird and marine life.

Booklets and cards of different values are arranged in various different sequences. I have chosen the sequences of the 90c and $1 series as the standard layout. Note therefore that in series of other values the stamps are not listed in numerical order of their serial numbers.

Kingfisher	Spring Lambs	Cattle

These stamps appear to exist in multiple types even though there is only one stamp of each design on each card of stamps. I do not have a complete sheet of stamps and therefore cannot analyse these design types, but one definite variety I have noticed is on stamp ANI 161d: the serial number exists with and without a space between "05/06" and "1185".

5c stamps, small size

ANI 180	ANI 181	ANI 182

ANI 183	ANI 184	ANI 185	ANI 186
Albatross	Seal	Whale	Dolphin

ANI 187	ANI 188	ANI 189
Kingfisher	Spring Lambs	Cattle

These stamps appear to exist in multiple types even though there is only one stamp of each design on each card of stamps. I do not have a complete sheet of stamps, and therefore cannot analyse these design types, but understand a complete sheet to comprise five cards of ten stamps. The most obvious variety is the variant serial number listed above as ANI 188e.

5c stamps, larger size

These stamps are slightly larger than the October 2006 printing. In these printings, the Kea design is replaced by a duplicate example of the Kingfisher design, but the serial number is left unchanged.
