Quite so. But wouldn't it be interesting to have a look

Yes indeed; but I'll have to hire an artist........I'm recalling that some years back someone published a "Future Bestiary" with illustrations of various _possible_ animals, all quite weird. And in Edgar Pangborn's novel "Davy" (post-nuclear-apocalypse), the hero has a companion animal, a large mutated Siamese cat. A very interesting book BTW, as is most of Pangborn's work.
