Tamandua

Over the past couple days I've seen several pictures of Tamandua (anteaters) dressed in sweaters and jacket posted online and today I came across this video of one striking a very cool kung-fu pose when threatened.

I'm thinking that these guys really do deserve their own martial art form for After the Bomb. Their hooked clay and meaty tail look like they could be used as a formidable weapons if properly trained.

Speaking of which, I really should post the Panda Fist Kung-Fu style I wrote up for Jing Pi - Mike Jones' Panda character.

[IN THE NEWS] Chilli the Giant Cow

Holy Heffer Batman! No, that picture has not been photoshopped, that's a 6 foot tall cow.

LUKE SALKELD writes in an article for the Daily Mail:
"The black and white Friesian bullock weighs well over a ton and at the same height as a small elephant, casts a shadow over his cattle companions who are about 5ft.

The heifer, who is almost as high as he is long, lives at the Ferne Animal Sanctuary in Chard, Somerset, after he was left on their doorstep aged just six-days-old.
Nine years on, Chilli has kept on growing, and staff believe the giant will smash a record for Britain's tallest ever cow."
Imagine this guy as a Purebreed line of cattle in the Plains of the Free Cattle. No wonder they would be able to maintain their independence.
