kind of looks like my other elephant... woah upon reflection it might be the EXACT same elephant just flipped (plus a present [minus the birds]).

how disappointing of me. oh well too late - good thing i don't care!

much like my first subject of the series, tamanduas are hilarious. they also have tiny heads and love to ride each other (and face off to lemurs i guess).

i really wanted to see one of these guys in south america, but sadly did not. guess i'll just have to go back... WHAT A SHAME!

*grin*

you can almost squeeze those lyrics into the actual song. and yes the twelve days of christmas should start on christmas day, but i don't care.

i'm full of 80s christmas joy, and laughter at stupid alpacas. so so stupid. and they are so fat of wool. and mental... to wit!
