Pangolin

One of the animals that one is not permitted to keep as a pet is the Pangolin. I had no idea what this was, but now that I've seen one, I am quite charmed.

Pangolins apparently nurse their young for 3-4 months, but at around 1 month, the babies begin eating some solids in the form of termites.

One wonders if pangolin grandmothers rub their "well-developed" claws together when the little thing is two weeks old saying:"Will you just give him some termites? Look at the way he's STARING at them. He's dying for solid food."

One advantage these scaly critters have over us is that they don't have teeth. I say that's an advantage because there seems to be some teething here and the day, as a result, is looking rather threatening.

... and hey, I took a good look at the banned animals, and noticed that monotremes don't make the list. One wonders if Giuliani was less than comprehensive on purpose, that perhaps he had a secret fondness for echidnas and platypuses. If so, I sympathize. I love those weird egg-laying mammals.
