Nutria | Animal Review

https://animalreview.wordpress.com/2010/05/20/nutria

A review of animals. The Animal Review Book. Tyrannosaurus rex →. May 20, 2010. A web-footed, semi-aquatic rodent that can weigh up to 22 pounds, which is definitely not okay, but still nowhere near the size of the largest extant rodent. Lit ‘I’m looking for the one-armed man’) is the escaped-convict-turned-wily-fugitive of the natural world. Unfortunately, they don’t. Here we go now, big smile! Nutria devour the plants that keep river banks from eroding, canal walls from collapsing and endangered wetlan...

September | 2011 | Animal Review

https://animalreview.wordpress.com/2011/09

A review of animals. The Animal Review Book. Monthly Archives: September 2011. September 7, 2011. Literally tooth-walking sea-horse (really) is a massive arctic pinniped that represents the last surviving member of the Family Odobenidae. The word walrus itself most likely derives from an inversion of the Old Norse word. Which means horse-whale, a concept that apparently came up often enough in Viking times to warrant naming. Anyone see any horse-whales? Good, let’s go. Sail off the edge of the earth.

July | 2010 | Animal Review

https://animalreview.wordpress.com/2010/07

A review of animals. The Animal Review Book. Monthly Archives: July 2010. July 11, 2010. In the long, often boring, and generally disappointing history of evolution, nothing has managed to capture our imagination quite like the dinosaurs. The simple fact that there were once giant, terrifying reptiles with tiny brains who ruled the Earth. I’m short oil, I’m short steel, I’m short railroadsI’m short pretty much everything. Oh, I’m from the future.’. Of all the dinosaurs, none is so iconic as. For instance...

March | 2010 | Animal Review

https://animalreview.wordpress.com/2010/03

A review of animals. The Animal Review Book. Monthly Archives: March 2010. March 16, 2010. Say what you will, but jellyfish, a.k.a ‘jellies’ a.k.a. ‘true jellies’ a.k.a. ‘medusae from the phylum Cnidaria’ (trans. ‘jellyfishes’) have done quite well for themselves in spite of their obvious limitation of lacking any brains. This is not to be confused with the colloquial expression ‘he/she has no brains’ meaning that he/she has a physical brain present, yet said brain is a Raiders fan, or said brain is.

The Life and Death(s) of Grigori Rasputin | A Compendium of Awesome Things

https://compendiumofawesome.wordpress.com/2012/02/16/the-life-and-deaths-of-grigori-rasputin

A Compendium of Awesome Things. Pectoral Fins →. February 16, 2012 · 12:45 am. The Life and Death(s) of Grigori Rasputin. Our tale, however, does not concern the life of Rasputin, but his death. Or rather his. At first, the attempts on Rasputin’s life were fairly straightforward. Once as Rasputin was leaving church, a woman and disciple of one of his rivals stabbed Rasputin in the gut. Believing her assassination attempt successful, she screamed, “I have killed the Antichrist! Among Rasputin’s many...

A review of animals. The Animal Review Book. Monthly Archives: January 2010. Africanized Honey Bees (A.K.A. Killer Bees). January 27, 2010. Review Prelude: How to Survive a Killer Bee Attack! Some Do’s and Dont’s from the experts. Run In a straight line (it’s faster than a circle) and into the wind (increased drag slows the bees more than it slows you. Bees only took Physics 1 and they always assume no friction). Pull your shirt over your head. Why? Thing they like to do. Alright. On to the review. Givin...

Pterodactyl (Pterosaur) | Animal Review

https://animalreview.wordpress.com/2011/04/14/pterodactyl-pterosaur

A review of animals. The Animal Review Book. April 14, 2011. Aw yeah, look who’s Pevolving! The accepted definition of dinosaur. Since Pterodactyls flew, they were not land-dwelling and are therefore not considered dinosaurs, even though they were large reptiles who lived with the dinosaurs and looked like the dinosaurs and played racquetball with the dinosaurs on Wednesdays. Put a metatarsal on the metacarpal table and get ready for an earful. Long story short, there is no Pterodactyl. Okay Anyway. ...
