  • Meerkats, Melbourne Zoo (Australia)

    Winsome little animals, and it’s easy to see why some people wrongly want to keep them as pets.  If they are to be in captivity, meerkats are far better off in Melbourne Zoo.  Two of these unused cards are available.  Grades: 1

    According to the caption on this unused mid-century A.S.M.K. & Co. card M269 (C-18684), “people from far off kampongs (villages) travel in these carts as these are the very useful and economical forms of transport”.   It’s true, the bullocks didn’t guzzle petrol but they still had to eat.  Grade 1

  • Himantolophus groenlandicus (Greenland)

    A face that only a mother could love.  Wikipedia tells us “The Atlantic footballfish, also known as the man-gobbler, is an anglerfish found in extreme depths of the ocean. Despite its name, this species lives in all oceans, but is primarily found in cold and temperate regions.”  Wikipedia goes on to say it is “of little food value,” which is just as well, because imagine seeing this on your table for Sunday dinner?  Unused card G431 from Post Greenland.  Grade: 1

  • Feral Donkeys (Ascension Island)

    Because we got this series of cards, and because we knew little or nothing about Ascension Island, we took the opportunity to read up on the island, its history, and how it is managed now.  Very interesting, and really remote from us.  For the postcard, Grade: 1

  • Papio hamadryas (DPR Korea)

    Being ever curious, we looked up the scientific name and found this from Wikipedia:  “The hamadryas baboon  (Papio hamadryas) is a species of baboon from the Old World monkey family. It is the northernmost of all the baboons, being native to the Horn of Africa and the southwestern tip of the Arabian Peninsula. These regions provide habitats with the advantage for this species of fewer natural predators than central or southern Africa where other baboons reside. The hamadryas baboon was a sacred animal to the ancient Egyptians and appears in various roles in ancient Egyptian religion…”  One might then wonder why it features on a DPRK postcard.  We can’t answer that.  Unused, Korean/scientific captions, and pre-printed postage on the back.  Grade: 1
