       This lovely painting is by Peter Trusler for Australian Postal Corporation (does that mean it's a mural in a post office? That would be amazing. )Anyway. I feel very much like this crow (upon finding out that there were once "short faced kangaroos") I may have added the text to the image...

       @futurebird see also: short-faced bears.Some short-faced bears were famously large: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arctodus , https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ArctotheriumBut the sole remaining short-faced bear is a rather small but interesting bear that lives in the Andes of south america; the most southerly of bears. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tremarctos_ornatus

       @babe @futurebird My family had a borzoi. He didn't bark, but he had this eerie howl. We lived in a rural area, and late at night, you could hear a freight train sound its whistle at crossings. The dog would howl back at the train.

       @futurebird that’s a very innocent face. I can’t believe you’re accusing her of that.

       @RFDave Whenever I try to explain the issues I have with Pica online EVERYONE always takes her side! No matter what she's done! It's incredible!"Pica deleted my short story and ruined my new sweater with claw marks."Internet: "She's so precious, give her another story to delete and six more sweaters."

       @futurebird Looks like this was part of a set of stamps designed byTrusler in 2008, featuring extinct Australian megafauna: https://www.paleophilatelie.eu/description/stamps/australia_2008.html

       @cmdrmoto @RFDave Oh I got this mixed up with one of the threads about Pica (Cat who everyone defends) ... but no, have you seen the kangaroos? Don't you think it's all a little suspect? Just a little?
