Lizards can’t keep a secret. Weasels are… well, _weasels_. Platypuses are egg-laying traitors to the mammalian ethic. ---

There’s nothin’ gnu about a gnu. I speed up to drive over dingos. Kangaroos have their ups and owns. Wombats lack intestinal fortitude. ---

You know, I meant to specifically state that last night … that there was no reason someone couldn’t keep posting after they broke the rule. I should have, I’m sorry. After all, the only way to figure it out is if you break it. **By the way, triceratops are real tossers! Ha ha!** ---

Ha ha!** Well, y’all are narrowing down the animal kingdom, beast by beast. Surely some generic multi-purpose questions could dispense with the species by species listing, eh? Your call, for sure.
