Now this is a true antique, great vintage stuff. Original watermark, only some mild jpeg foxing around the text. Some amateur antique hunters might mistake the pixelation for digital artifacts from reposting, and it's true there is a mild patina of compression there, but most of that's just the original low resolution. You've got a real heirloom here.

That's definitely a prarie dog, not a ground hog. They're actually different animals, it's not a regional difference like a lot of people think. Fun fact about prarie dogs, they're only fertile for a few hours a year.

I wrote groundhog because of the file name. "funny-pictures-groundhog-ate-flower.jpg" I assumed the elders knew better.
