Greetings friends!

On a postage stamp with a face value of 7 Cuban centavos from the Prehistoric Animals series of postage stamps, issued in Cuba in 1982, we see a bird of prey - Cuban Fossile Eagle (Aquila borrasi).

Thanks to the postage stamp, we have the opportunity to see the extinct species of giant hawks, which are believed to have lived only on the island of Cuba.

But, not everything is so simple, the artist, whose work we see on the postage stamp, made the assumption that this hawk could look like this, but, in fact, he depicted a completely different kind of hawks.

But, the picture turned out to be dramatic and the bird is very predatory and insidious.

The found remains of a prehistoric bird make it impossible to imagine and understand what this large bird actually looked like.

Let's take a look at this postage stamp.
