The Noogleturf

The Noogleturf is an unsightly animal with both short striped fur and long spotted fur.  This is considered a fashion faux pas in the animal kingdom, and as a result, the Noogleturf is never invited to any of the fashionable parties. 

Two Headed Zyrookar

The Two-Headed Zyrookar is a two-headed lizard-like creature that has two heads but is otherwise unremarkable.  Really, the Zyrookar is such a commonplace and dull creature, that I do not know why I bothered even to include it in this list of otherwise fantastic and fascinating animals.  Please forgive my lapse in judgement, hopefully tomorrow will have a better entry.

The Winged Trooflenurg

Not to be confused with the Wingless Trooflenurg, which it resembles in all but it’s possession of wings, the Winged Trooflenurg is a most unusual creature.  Modern science has been unable to explain this creature, or even explain what species it is.  It most closely resembles an insect, but it is four feet tall, and insects cannot reach that height.  Since it can fly, some have suggested that the Winged Trooflenurg is a bird. But it has neither feathers nor beak, so a bird it is not.  It was briefly classified as a mammal, but the Winged Trooflenurg has no hair and is cold blooded.  Some scienists have suggested it might be a form of fish, which it might be save for the fact that it neither swims or breathes in water.  But without any better options, many have begun refuring to it as a fish.  Tommy Wilkins, age 8, of Lombard, Illinois suggested that the Trooflenurg (both Winged and Wingless varieties) might be a large lizard.  Scientists scoffed at this, since the idea was presented by a mere child.  The mystery of the Trooflenurg may continue to elude modern science.

The Scarffenfoote

The Scarffenfoote lives in the Northern Canada and Alaska.   It’s large feet act as natural snowshoes on the frozen landscape.  The Scarffenfoote was prized by hunters who would wrap the long tail around their face and neck to protect from the cold.  These wraps are commonly known as “scarfs” after the Scarffenfoote. Demand for “scarfs” resulted in over-hunting of the animal, and it is now on the endangered species list. Most scarfs are now made from alternative materials such as wool or cotton.
