That's a very misleading ad, they forgot to mention it's suffering from mange on it's tail too.

Dumb....dumb....dumb.

Anyone can see it's a Chihuahua

[KRSESQ]

Looks more like ALF.

Or Chupacabra.

I wonder how many Europeans would even recognize what it really is, considering that there aren't any members of that entire infraclass living in Europe?

[Nowhere]

And your point is?...

Of course I don't recognise something I'm not familiar with, doesn't stop me from knowing it isn't a cat (plus - it seems some residents of US don't even know that )

BTW, would you recognise beech marten? (yep, I've seen it also in cities, though least weasel much more often)

No real point, just wondering out loud. And no, I wouldn't specifically recognize a beech marten (but I would recognize it as a mustelid, they're not uncommon in the US.) That poster just made me think about the difference between "Old World" and "New World" animals and how people from different continents would be confused. For example, I'm not sure how many people in the US would immediately recognize a hedgehog (they might think it was a tiny porcupine.)

OK, OK, but I bet you can't see a difference between European and African swallows

Sure I can! African swallows can carry coconuts, European ones typically can't unless a pair team up and carry it on a line.

Ahh, that's the easy way

It's the Robin that gets me. The American one is the size (and morphology) of a blackbird.



The European one is the size of a sparrow and is very aggressive (you never see two together except when mating).



Two totally different birds, in every way, except that they both sometimes have red breasts and are both migratory (we have one that winters in our garden every year)

There's a very good reason why I can't!

Looks like some kind of ferret or weasel (ofcourse all ferrets are weasels). And yes, we also have ferrets, weasels, martens and minks (all of which share similiarities in appearance) in Europe.

Though ofcourse, I could be wrong about all this
