Shouldn't we have just the smaller picture here with a link to the larger one?

Yes, but it takes more than 10 seconds to do it. I was in the middle of doing that when I got an "edit conflict". Battle of the dueling keyboards! :-) --Alan Millar

Sorry about that, that was probably me. But it was vitally important that I link 1800s and 1939 right then and there! :) -BD

Sorry. I just figured it out looking at it, and so had to try it to see if I was right. :-) --KQ

Hmmm. Maybe I should go out to the Healsville Sanctuary and try to get a better photo. That drawing is very misleading. In fact, most 19th and early-20th centuary drawings of Australian wildlife are pretty inaccurate (and make it look uglier than it is).

The picture is better than none, perhaps. I like the idea of having the text first and then the picture. --LMS
