The South Slubian Buffalo 

Similar to it’s North American cousin, the South Slubian Buffalo is a large animal that travels in immense herds.  Unlike it’s North American cousin, the South Slubian Buffalo is blue with a few pink spots on it’s back. It also has three tails, which is two tails more than it’s North American cousin has.  And it has really cool horns, while it’s North American cousin only has short, boring horns.  Basically, the South Slubian Buffalo is a significantly better animal than it’s North American cousin.  So why does the North American Buffalo get to appear on currency (the Buffalo head nickel) and in songs (Oh, give me a home where the Buffalo roam….), not to mention it’s numerous appearances in movies and television (practically any Western ever made) while the South Slubian Buffalo languishes, mostly forgotten, with it’s only claim to fame one lousy blog post (this one)?  It’s unfair to the poor South Slubian Buffalo.

The following blog post was sponsored by the Society for South Slubian Buffalo Awareness.

The Hideous Swamp Monster that Shall Not Be Named

 The less said about the Hideous Swamp Monster that Shall Not Be Named, the better.

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.
