Lipizzan/lipizzaner is a slovenian breed of horses known for their characteristic of changing their coat color as they age - going from black/brown/dark gray into light gray (that appears white). They're named after the city of Lipica. They're the national symbol and are also depicted on the slovenian 20 cent coin.

I mean, of course! I feel like we should have this already? Sure, we already have stamp sets featuring cats and dogs... But what about the other ones? I'm talking bunny stamp. Fish. Bird. Turtle. Hamster. Iguana. Chinchila. And more cats and dogs, why not? What I'm imagining is a stamp set with all of these. And not just the animal alone, but it should have some sort of background that communicates that they are a pet, either because of the environment or because they're being cared for. Like a fish in a decorated tank, a bunny being gently held, iguana getting warmed by a lamp, etc.. 🐰 🐟 🦜 🐢 🐹 🦎 �

Żubr (European bison) is one of the national animals of Poland and Belarus. Efforts to restore this species to the wild began in 1929, with the establishment of the Bison Restitution Centre at Białowieża, Poland. A flavoured vodka called Żubrówka, originating as a recipe of the szlachta of the Kingdom of Poland in the 14th century, has since 1928 been industrially produced as a brand in Poland. Source: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/European_bison Polish bison that roam the forests of Białowieża might certainly be considered a national animal. Europe’s heaviest land mammal, the European bison is a protected species and the focus of international conservation efforts. They can still be found in the forests of Poland – now a national park and UNESCO World Heritage Site. More commonly though, they’re visible on the label of the famous Polish vodka Żubrowka – a spirit infused with a leaf of the grasses these majestic beasts feed upon.

The bird inhabited the subtropical forests of Kauai. After 1987, there have been no reliable records of its presence. Its extinction resulted from predation by black rats and wild pigs, the spread of mosquito-borne diseases, and habitat destruction. On September 29, 2021, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service confirmed its extinction. The mating call of the last known individual was recorded in 1983 by conservationist John Sincock. Its mate died in Hurricane Iwa, leading to failed reproduction. The lonely final call of the world's last Kauaʻi ʻōʻō is deeply sorrowful... Yet thousands of species have vanished silently, without even leaving such a farewell. It would be nice if Slowly could add a stamp of the Kauaʻi ʻōʻō to raise awareness about wildlife and nature conservation.

The dove's wings are dark with black bands, and it has a rounded body shape with short legs. Males tend to be larger and have a more pronounced red patch compared to females, which have a slightly duller appearance.
