Is it not possible to find a photograph to use for this animal instead of an illustration published in the 1800's?

I came here to say the same thing. It's a terrible image for a lead image. It's a poor quality illustration to begin with, with the animal and the background blending together too much, and it's just plain old, being 177 years old. Not only does photography exist, but it's based on poor understanding of physiology of the animal. While his pods do have relatively small ears, they're not that small, which look more like pika ears. In fact, considering all things, the illustrator was likely confusing the two. I'm getting rid of it immediately. It is better to have no lead image than one full of errors from nearly two centuries ago. oknazevad (talk) 01:42, 17 August 2021 (UTC)Reply
