I bought this toob for my 25 month old son. He has been very interested in wild animals and the zoo, and I wanted something I could use to create educational games for him at home.
The toob comes with two of each: lion, tiger, panther, black bear, camel, alligator, hippo, rhino, zebra, giraffe, elephant, and gorilla. It does NOT include a cheetah (which confused me, because the smaller jungle toobs list a cheetah).
The pieces are small, but perfect for my toddler's little hands. The giraffe, which is tall with small feet (true to the animals' real life form and proportions) is the only one that is a little tricky to get to stand up. The others stand well.

This review is from: Safari Jungle Mega Toob (Toy)
My two year old daughter loves playing with the animals and she would never notice what I saw: several of the animals had paint come off (before using them) and the giraffes and zebras did not stand up very well since the legs were too close together.
Not the best quality but they are fun for my daughter.
