OK, that’s enough. The proprietor of the Monday Metazoan keeps lurching over to big furries — where are my clackety arachnids? My slimy molluscs? My exotic weird phyla? It’s always these mammals, like just now this poor, tiny newsphoto of …AWWW, IT’S A BABY RHINO…
It’s a baby Unicorn! Or well maybe bicorn…

Who doesn’t love a baby rhino?
The firefighters of their habitats! :p
They should all be destroyed.
They’re lethal at eight months, and I do mean lethal. I’ve hunted most things that can hunt you, but the way these things move… Cheetah speed. Fifty, sixty miles an hour if they ever got out into the open, and they’re astonishing jumpers. They show extreme intelligence, even problem-solving intelligence. Especially the big one. We bred eight originally, but when she came in she took over the pride and killed all but two of the others. That one… when she looks at you, you can see she’s working things out. She had them all attacking the fences when the feeders came. They never attack the same place twice. They were testing the fences for weaknesses, systematically. They remember.
