Why no pigtivity? No cowtivity? No turtletivity or elephantivity or chimptivity or raccoontivity? Or, for the anti-Darwinist crowd, a dinosaurtivity?

Wow, those are awesome! I especially like the moosetivity. It’s almost better than the statue my mother has displayed for years, without irony, of Santa Claus kneeling and praying before the Baby Jesus.
