I\u2019m assuming it is some sort a rock stain. If instead it is a prehistoric painting, then I am glad I am not living in prehistoric times, populated with cat-squids!<\/div>\n
I\u2019m much happier with the current wildlife, like these guys:<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

That inspired me to harvest a few bigger trees from the forest. This tree\u2019s roots were so excited to see the sun, it tried to fly away:<\/div>\n
