and we do eat their tails for fun:
Oooooh, so THAT'S what they mean when they talk about looking for beaver, and going for a piece of tail. I thought people were just being rude!!
Oh, but if you think that our beloved beaver is just a piece of tail then I'd surely be a-hoppin and a-kickin mad just like your kangaroo....
...I've got to list down all its attributes then...we can start with the teeth...

Are they anything like the blue jay? (Go Jays!) rofl
(My cousin's from Tronna / Nagra ...)
But does anything scream like Sealion Dye-On?

I know it doesn't compare with your national over-sized rodent's tail, but the platypus' tail is pretty good... Did you know that the first platypus sample (dead and stuffed) that was sent back to England was considered a fake, that it had been stitched together form the body of an otter, a duck and a beaver. Some of the esteemed gentlemen of the Royal Society even had their doubts about the live specimens!!

and I wondered what the milk was for.....how about this swanny, do you know that the beaver's tail spend soo much time in the water that in the 19th century, the RC church considered it a fish so we could eat it during the lenten season?
...gosh and they really ate it? Yup they did. Back then, they ate pretty much everything that was moving

Everything you don't like to eat is ingredient of an invention, made just for this purpose: sausages.
Except perhaps platypus parts, I guess a bad idea because of the venom spurs (except perhaps Darwin how tasted almost everything).
I have a native animal, named Steve. when he grows up, he'll be bright yellow with 4 long dark stripes. this pic was 6 months ago; he's still relatively small, but growing quickly.
hmmm, I think a skunk http://www.whistleblowersblog.org/uploads/...nk%20Babies.jpg would be my least-desired native species.
and hey, I've seen axolotls in all shades of green; do you really not have anything between albinos and black ones?

..the RCs or the europeans in general? But I still prefer our new version of beaver's tails...and I wonder if he'd taste good:
our famous Whiarton Willie....

A lab beaver? Or beaver with winter fur?
For bizarre food read this, quite interesting

Still I think that ancient Greeks and Romans were even more... omnivorous...Why is it that when you get students and scientists on the forum, the topic shifts so easily to food?
