do the Hierogrammates care about the megatherians?

This is the message as the crawl holds it, before anything here touched it. What the conversation shows has been through ingest: transfer encodings decoded, attachments dropped, quote markers repaired, and the archiver’s ? resolved into quotation marks and dashes. Those repairs are judgements and some of them are wrong, which is what this page is for. Email addresses are obscured here as they are everywhere else on the site, so it is before our repairs rather than byte for byte.

Erase the names and colors?
Shall I also leave out the names of Juno, Rhea Silvia, and Mars? And all 
the "color" that is similar to the life of Romulus? Get real.

Expanding on Andrew's list:

The name 'Frog'
Found by animals in the forest
Adopted by wolves (Romulus was sucked by A SINGLE wolf)
An argument among the wolves regarding his adoption, in which the tiger takes part
The tiger (smilodon) as the threat to the child.
The black panther (Black Killer-- the word 'panther' is Greek for "all beasts of prey")
The Naked One (the Bare/bear) who plays the same role as Baloo
The Red Flower
A woodcutter is one of Frog's fathers
