ok and the hyena is a harp seal pup….I guess a zoology degree IS good for something other than years of unemployment!

I annoy my friends with it (“excuse me, chimps are apes, NOT monkeys”) but I can’t help letting my inner Professor Frink out on stuff like this! (glavin)
(and the first one is definitely a cheetah…last time, I promise!)

@ Squidterms: Lambs have black noses, too. I’m still thinking llama or goat.

whichever animals these are, I’d totally wear them if I weren’t so anti-swine-flu-panic!

Has anybody else noticed that the “swine flu” is just another strain of influenza that we shouldn’t be worried about? Regular old influenza kills 100s of thousands of people with compromised immune systems annually…so why aren’t we freaking out because of that?

Your “scary dog” is a goat, sry2say.
10 is a sheep.
Is your “monkey” a hippo perhaps?
I love the model x) she’s so expressive, especially for the tiger.
