Travel the World of Postage Stamps - Various mammals - Red Squirrel (Sciurus vulgaris) - Mongolia 1983 - Michel Mongolia 1594 - my hobby.
Greetings friends!
Very often, people admire the flora and fauna of exotic countries, dream of getting there, but they absolutely do not know the nature that surrounds them in their native land.
They do not know the medicinal properties of herbs, they cannot distinguish edible mushrooms from inedible mushrooms, they do not know the names and lifestyle of birds and animals that can be seen after taking a short walk in their own city and beyond.
A series of stamps Various mammals, issued in Mongolia in 1983, shows that even rodents and other small animals can be the pride of an entire people, a country.
On the postage stamp, which received a face value of 40 Mongolian möngö, we see Red Squirrel (Sciurus vulgaris).
But, here, there is one problem, lol.
The name of the postage stamp says that this squirrel is red, but in fact, we see an image of a black squirrel.
The fact is that the color of the squirrel can vary from red to black. I have met such a black common squirrel in Moldova.
Let's take a look at this postage stamp.

For my publications, I do not use stock photographs, it is fundamentally important for me to use photographs that I have made with my own hands for publication and I can name them - authorial work.
