Sing of the Pangolin!

I'm so pleased by the outpouring of support for Pangolin Day this year! Join me now in singing Pangolin Carols!

O Pangolin (to the tune of "O Christmas Tree")

O Pangolin, O Pangolin!
How are thy form so armored!
O Pangolin, O Pangolin!
How are thy form so armored!

Thou roam across Southeast Asia,
And also parts of Africa.
O Pangolin, O Pangolin!
How are thy form so armored!

O Pangolin, O Pangolin!
Curl when danger does threaten!
O Pangolin, O Pangolin!
Curl when danger does threaten!

Thy sticky tongue snags lots of ants,
Arboreal kin climb high in plants.
O Pangolin, O Pangolin!
Curl when danger does threaten!

O Pangolin, O Pangolin!
Thy razor scales keep thee safe!
O Pangolin, O Pangolin!
Thy razor scales keep thee safe!

By day thou rest upon the ground,
An armored ball, curled up so round.
O Pangolin, O Pangolin!
Thy razor scales keep thee safe!

Did you write that? It's nifty.

...I'm hard pressed to think of anyone else who would have written it. = ) But yes, it was me.

I have celebrated this momentous day by stuffing myself with fish and banana chocolate cheesecake.

Wonderful! Just like real pangolins...sort of. Still, any celebrating is is good celebrating.

Start psyching yourself up for Loggerhead Shrike Day on the 23rd! Well, maybe wait a week or so, and then psyche yourself up.

Don't forget Amazon Leech Day on the 10th of May! Giant, haemophagic parasites; who could possibly resist?
