2007年,南非发行了一枚中国农历猪年邮票,同时发行了小型张和首日封。
7th September 2007
至此,南非发行的中国农历生肖邮票,从鼠年至猪年,十二种动物全部出场,功德圆满。
在前面介绍过的南非九省的邮票中,普马兰加省的邮票的图案是野猪。
我在网上搜得一个图像,使该枚邮票的小型张,邮票下面有中文“猪年”字样。关于这枚邮票的来由,一直没有得到资料。留待日后补充吧。
The aardvark (/?ɑrd.vɑrk/ ard-vark; Orycteropus afer) is a medium-sized, burrowing, nocturnal mammal native to Africa.[2] It is the only living species of the orderTubulidentata,[3][4] although other prehistoric species and genera of Tubulidentata are known. Unlike other insectivores, it has a long pig-like snout, which is used to sniff out food. It roams over most of the southern two-thirds of the African continent, avoiding mainly rocky areas. A nocturnal feeder, it subsists on ants and termites, which it will dig out of their hills using its sharp claws and powerful legs. It also digs to create burrows in which to live and rear its young. It receives a "least concern" rating from the IUCN, although its numbers seem to be decreasing.
