in response to maren's post

I was honestly ALMOST fooled at first. Then I slapped myself twice and snapped out of it, thank goodness.

BUT I was just hoping that you, Maren, also clicked on the link on the left of their page to the "piglet squid" article? If not, I have attached a photo of the "piglet squid: the squid that keeps on smiling."

Now THIS is real, and FANTASTIC. It's apparently just a strange pigmentation pattern that happens to make the whole thing look like a big dumb happy face. To add to its wonderfulness, it's only the size of an orange. COUNT IT!

Now here are some pictures of my other favorite animals.

FOUR-TOED JERBOA

CYCLOPS KITTEN (real thing!)

ALBINO PEACOCK

CHINESE GIANT SALAMANDER

DUMBO SQUID

YETI CRAB

THIS PARTICULAR TIGER

ANGORA RABBIT
