The Gauls not recognizing woodland creatures
- In Asterix and the Great Crossing, the duo encounter a bear, which immediately proves to them that they aren't near their village, as there are apparently no bears nearby. But just before, they see a turkey, and just dismiss it as a "funny kind of creature". They've spent a lot of time in the woods, so wouldn't an animal completely unknown to them raise more eyebrows than an animal well-known to everyone in Europe?
- Strange-looking birds are probably quite a common sight in the woods.
- But not turkeys.
- Exactly! They don't know it's a turkey. It's just another strange-looking bird.
- Why would strange-looking birds be a common sight in the woods?
- If you lose your way looking for your home and you encounter a creature you never saw before, you'll probably think "The hell does this thing do here?". But if you encounter a creature you do know and are fully aware it shouldn't live near the place you live, you may began to understand that you're maybe waaaay more lost than you thought you were.
- That makes sense.
- Strange-looking birds are probably quite a common sight in the woods.
