      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 :)
