Sandy:

>Vorumainen -- an important character from the Kalevala

Vainamoinen.

Then Sandy says some things about ecology that i'd like some clarification on.

>Points to think on, however -- small animals change more than large ones.
>Cougars change little over the entire Rocky Mountains. Pocket mice vary
>tremendously. Animals that migrate change less than animals that do not
>(for obvious reasons). Plants tend to change more than animals. Weather
>and vegetation are more important to an animal's variation than are other
>animals, whether predators or prey.

I'm no biologist or zoologist, but it follows from your statement that larger animals don't change as much as small animals geographically because the big ones need larger areas to find food, right?

>ECOLOGICAL REALMS OF GLORANTHA

>GENERTELAN = Jrustela and all Genertela west of the Shan Shan and Teshnos.
>The realm here is basically similar to the Pleistocene Nearctic of Earth.

So what did the pleistocene nearctic look like?
