Mini Moos

by Meg on March 22, 2009

Knox News is reportin’ that the Memphis Zoo is featuring some mini cow action.

The two cows "Cloudy" and "Darwinia", are 25 and 36inches at the shoulders respectively. They were bred from heritage breeds that date back to the 16th century, when farms and homesteads were smaller.

This article wasn’t enough to satisfy my new miniature moo quest. My mission led me to the mini cattle website (I am not making this up) where there is some proshness goin’ on. Check out:

Egads, Hubert, they’re everywhere!  Mobs of screaming, angry taxpayers with pitchforks and torches!  The entire mansion is surrounded!

I suppose we could pay them to go away...

Hugging it out

This sloth is taking it a little too far with the extra Clavicle Cling™:

Sender-Inner Emily B. writes "My boyfriend and I stopped by the Aviarios Sloth Rescue Center in Chauita, Costa Rica and were given an amazing tour of this wonderful sanctuary. The center rehabilitates injured, ill, and orphaned sloths and returns them to the forest but others end up living there full time… The center runs on donations and volunteers so if you want to maybe include the web site www.slothrescue.org the readers might be compelled to donate to this wonderful place."

Negotiations… are in progress

"Oh I think you’re gonna do better than that, doc.  See, I been checkin’ around, an’ I happen to know what a pile of white lion cubs is worth to you and your organization.  It’d be a shame if we couldn’t come to a mutually beneficial agreement, doc, a real shame.  And it ain’t like we’re asking for a lot, you know?  I mean how many giraffes does one zoo need?"  [wipes drool with paw]
