Swedish flamingoes massacred in frenzied anteater attack

The Local (Sweden) ^ | April 5, 2011

A flock of ten flamingoes have met a brutal end at a zoo in Eskilstuna in eastern Sweden after a curious anteater broke into their compound and clawed them to death, leaving a further five birds nursing injuries.

That sounds good!

Starting to pack for the first trip now...

[Professional Engineer]

Been holding this thread in reserve, eh?

[sionnsar]

It was flagged as a possibility. We actually had several zot threads this month, but this was better.

The quality of the trolls these past few months has been severely lacking.
None of them have been up to our standards of merit.

WHOA! Why did my luggage suddenly gain ten pounds???

I am sure I have no idea?

Good choice of threads. Flamingos, anteaters and gnomes - oh my!

[Tax-chick]

Anteaters are very important to us. They are found in Panama, where Seaman Anoreth last surfaced. Here's a pangolin. They are found in the Singapore Zoo.

O hai. We went to church, then we had supper. Nice evening, 82 with a pleasant breeze.

Tom and I were making soup before church, when we heard the crash of Jake coming through the screen door. “Oh Expletive!” says Tom, “He’s got a bird in his mouth!” DP retrieved the bird, but I don’t think it was going to live.

Nature red in tooth and claw ...

Nice pangolin. We have armadillo here; got one living under the porch whom the cat keeps company. I understand that armadillo are the only animal other than humans that can harbor the virus that causes leprosy.

"I understand that armadillo are the only animal other than humans that can harbor the virus that causes leprosy."

Yah.

Before the other parts dropped off, they used to be Tyrranosaurus Rexs.

[LibreOuMort]

Yes, please! And is there any cocoa to go with that?
It’s chilly up here ;-)

Darks, our host this month is not a troll, and though the charter of the Undead Thread gives a preference to Zot threads it is not a requirement. Remember a few years back when Frank Sheed played host and arranged an audience with the Pope?

This month, thanks to ConservativeStatement, we're celebrating Swedish Anteater Flamenco or something like that. (How do you say "Ole!" in Swedish, anyway? LoM?)
