I salute the passionate and experienced members of The Maximaphily Club from Bucharest, who created this interesting maximum card about a rare animal in Romania! Toate cele bune ~ Best wishes! :)
MC with triple concordance, perfectly FIP-compliant.
However, the postcard they used was printed by the Sibiu Polygraphic Enterprise, in cooperation with the Buzau County Museum.
The backside of the postcard says Vormela peregusna cuxina.
But I know better. :)
It should be Vormela peregusna euxina, 'cause it's a subspecies that lives near Pontus Euxinus/The Black Sea. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pontus_Euxinus
"The marbled polecat (V. peregusna) is a small mammal belonging to the monotypic genus Vormela within the Mustelinae subfamily. Vormela is from the German word Würmlein[1], which means "little Worm". The term peregusna comes from pereguznya, which is Ukrainian for polecat.[2] Marbled polecats are generally found in the dryer areas and grasslands of south-eastern Europe to western China. Like other members of Mustelinae, it can emit a strong smelling secretion from anal sacs under the tail when threatened."
In an unrelated story: the world economy, including any gold-man (man with a lot of gold), can emit a strong smell of recession from gold-man sacs (under the radar) when threatened.
