There is also evidence in the Brickshelf Archives that the two species were
for a short time co-inhabitants. Why Stiffcanus died out is unkown to me.
More reasearch is needed on the follwing types :
Minfigicus (Animus?) - A cross breed with variou animal types first seen in
Fabuland. Animal shaped but exhbiting
humaniod inteligence and values.
? - A large type seen mainly In technic
? - A closly raleted type to the above,
rumoured to be more femmine in nature and
has a higher female population than male.
A very recent additon is the Minfigus Scalaus - This appears to be a very
new breed being more related to Mattelus Maddona Erectus than to previous
Lego species.
Apologies if my clasiifications are wrong and i would welcome a more trained
mind to point out my errors.
