    Agreed, look at all the natural variation that was lost. The newcomers don’t convey the same intensity of emotions.

    P.S. “extant” means still in existence, I believe you meant “extinct” :)

    Edit: I only now realize the image is also incorrectly labeled. It’s a perfectly understandable mistake, anyway.

      Agreed! I like what they contribute but their now extinct forebears just bring a lot more flavour - and lightheartedness, I think.

      Hahaha this is what I get for not double checking a word I wasn’t sure of. Thank you, correctly used this time around :)
