A MAXICARD from ROMANIA, symbolizing the comfort of a "nest", and the love of your family: The European Magpie, also Eurasian Magpie and Common Magpie (Pica pica).  The European Magpie is one of the most intelligent birds, and it is believed to be one of the most intelligent of all animals. 

The European Magpie, also Eurasian Magpie and Common Magpie (Pica pica), is a resident breeding bird throughout Europe, much of Asia and northwest Africa. 

It is one of several birds in the crow family named as magpies, and belongs to the Holarctic radiation of "monochrome" magpies. 

In Europe, "Magpie" is used by English speakers as a synonym for the European Magpie; it is the only magpie in Europe outside the Iberian Peninsula. 

The European Magpie is one of the most intelligent birds, and it is believed to be one of the most intelligent of all animals.^[1] The expansion of its neostriatum is approximately the same in its relative size as is found in chimpanzees, orangutans and humans^[2]"

Intelligence

The European Magpie is believed to be among the most intelligent of birds, and among the most intelligent of all animals. Magpies have been observed engaging in elaborate social rituals, possibly including the expression of grief.^[6] 

Mirror self-recognition has been demonstrated in European magpies.^[7] 

The magpie is thus one of a small number of species, and the only non-mammal, known to possess this capability.^[8] 

The cognitive abilities of the European Magpie are taken as evidence that intelligence evolved independently in both corvids/crows and primates. 

This is indicated by feats such as tool use, their ability to hide and store food across seasons, episodic-like memory, and the ability to use one's own experience in predicting the behavior of conspecifics.^[1] Various behaviours have been observed that indicate intelligence. 

It has been observed that they cut up their food in correctly sized proportions, depending on the size of their young. 

In captivity magpies have been observed counting up to get food, imitating human voices, and regularly using tools to clean their own cages. 

In the wild, they organise themselves into gangs, and use complex strategies when hunting other birds, and when confronted by predators.^[9] Along with the 

Jackdaw, the European Magpie has been found to have a neostriatum approximately the same relative size as is found in chimpanzees and humans, and significantly larger than is found in the gibbon.^[2] Like other corvids, such as Ravens and Crows, their total brain to body ratio is equal to that of great apes and cetaceans, and only slightly lower than in humans.^[10]"

A king cheetah showing its distinctive coat pattern

""Racing Stripes"

The King Cheetah has a recessive fur pattern mutation. First discovered in Zimbabwe in 1926, this very rare animal has been seen in the wild only 6 times.

About 10K years ago, the population of cheetahs plummeted, perhaps to a single pregnant female worldwide.[MY NOTE: how the hell heaven do you know? :) ] 

Modern cheetahs are so genetically similar as to be virtual clones, making this novel coat pattern all the more interesting.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:King_cheetah.jpg

"The cheetah (Acinonyx jubatus) is a large-sized feline (family Felidae) inhabiting most of Africa and parts of the Middle East. 

The cheetah is the only extant member of the genus Acinonyx, most notable for modifications in the species' paws. 

As such, it is the only felid with non-retractable claws and pads that, by their scope, disallow gripping (therefore cheetah cannot climb vertical trees, although they are generally capable of reaching easily accessible branches). The cheetah, however, achieves by far the fastest land speed of any living animal—between 112 and 120 km/h (70 and 75 mph)^[3][4] in short bursts covering distances up to 500 m (1,600 ft), and has the ability to accelerate from 0 to over 100 km/h (62 mph) in three seconds.^[5]"

You can see heart shapes if you visually GROOM his coat long enough, or you can consider the head outline.

Or, in my maxicard, you can swallow accept my explanation that a heart shape is visible between his front legs and the "small", distant tree. :)
