Angus:"I hypothesize that the author of the Wikipedia link DWA supplied us has some proprietary interest in file types ".svg". (I guess ".svg" to be short for "savage", as in the French "sauvage", usually translated into English as "wild", because the author has supplied a magnificent illustration, in .svg format of a fine, not quite upstanding, weasel, whose copywrite he specifically cedes (in Wikipedia commons) worldwide to any taker. Unfortunately MS Windows is not very helpful in empowering one to procure it. Need we wonder why?)." Someone in the brained-trust around here just might know. You, Angus, are part of the elegant mink clan, I presume? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Weasel_family
(break) Mustelids, with the exception of the sea otter,[3] have anal scent glands that produce a strong-smelling secretion the animals use for sexual signaling and for marking territory. The most developed of these scent glands are found in skunks (Mephitinae), which were moved into a new family, Mephitidae, following DNA analyses [4]." |
