Sea to Shinning Sea...

We recently returned from an exceptional expedition in Africa. It was an exhausting, yet exhilarating adventure. As many of you have read in your local newspapers, we discovered three previous unidentified species, which is always exciting. You will find the list below, which includes their Latin names:
  • Golden South African Banana Crocodile, christophersonsonious biggious
  • Fuzzy Green Legged Mouse Giraffe, tallious animalious
  • Starry-Eyed Butterfly Shrimp, yumyumyum psst

Now that we are back in Las Vegas and have been granted permission to travel abroad (legally), we will be continuing our pursuit of the Purple Spotted Hairless Platypus in distant lands. Our next stop is Antarctica as we've received several unconfirmed reports of specimen that have been found in ice crevices . Apparently, the ice has preserved them exceptionally well - color is stellar, completely bald, and the spots are clearly present.

Seems like an odd place for a purple spotted hairless platypus, but, if, in fact, this is the case, this discovery will speak volumes to their distribution and how long they have been inhabiting our Mother Earth. This could be a much scarier problem that anyone ever could have imagined!
