Picus peregrinabundus
Picus peregrinabundus is a species of woodpecker from the late Miocene first described by Soviet scientist Umanskaja in 1981. It lived in what is now Ukraine. The species relationships have been called into question and need to be rechecked. The species is only known from a left tarsometatarsus.[1][2][3]

Picus peregrinabundus lived with Gavia paradoxa and the falcon Falco medius, all in the Odessa Region of the Ukraine near the city of Myhai. During its time Europe was covered by forests.[4][5]
Modern Woodpecker
gollark: Hmm, apparently "elements in grown defect list" is "bad blocks" and this is actually quite bad, fun.
gollark: It has 68513 hours of power on time, 1986 power on/off cycles out of a rated 10000, and 4 "elements in grown defect list".
gollark: Ah, according to the data I got off it, my drive was manufactured in 2012. Which is something like threeish years after the server came into existence, as far as I know.
gollark: Also, there was some admittedly small-scale testing by some computer review company and SSDs could mostly go significantly beyond their endurance ratings and manage hundreds of terabytes written. But also did tend to fail suddenly and inexplicably instead of having a graceful failure.
gollark: Store the hashes of things, expect more computing power later.
