ha, that's funny ! one of my ex-boyfriends had a pet chicken when he was a child, called petunia. he said at night when everyone went upstairs to bed she would stand at the bottom of the stairs clucking sadly until someone came and carried her up, because she couldn't climb them.

sure, poisonous, but so cute nonetheless ! and what a ridiculous name !!! (even more so in french, i think).
Rodents? Don't make me pull out my Encyclopaedia Pedantica.
that's my favorite encyclopaedia too.

Anyway, I love bats too, the little ones as much as the big ones.

in summertime, if you go walking along the canal at the end of the day, as the sun goes down, you can watch the swallows diving and wheeling through the sky catching bugs to eat. as it gets darker the trajectories become more jagged and erratic and you realize that now it's bats flying around, although i never manage to notice the precise moment of the transition.

I wonder what they make of these cute, little rodents:
Now there's an idea for "Next great animal": the capybara.
