My favorite animal


This is the Cheshire cat! I happened to locate a picture of him when I was creating a homework assignment and since I had it handy, I thought I would use it on this page. But in fact while he is cute, he is not my favorite animal. I am allergic to cats, and after five minutes in the same room with one I start itching.

My favorite animal is the elephant. What a majestic beast! And quite intelligent too. And there isn't much most predators can do to a full grown elephant, although lions do pick on young ones and try to have lunch and dinner with a stray.

The next time I go to the zoo I'll take picture of an elephant and replace the image on this page. In the meanwhile you'll just have to see the Cheshire cat and imagine him with a trunk where his smile is. But I doubt he likes peanuts nearly as much as Dumbo; in fact, he's inhaled one right now.

But wait a minute! Did you like the Koosbanian spoobol of the old Muppet Show? If so, click here and take a look at his cousin Al; he's a splurting terble (rhymes with "gerbil").
