[Cherry]

It's a bush pig

(I didn't know that off by heart though... )

@ Piggy: A Wildebeest and some kind of Hornbill but I wouldn't know the exact one without looking it up.

Has anyone read 'physik' by Angie Sage (or is it just me who reads children's fantasy fiction ) - there's an aye aye in that. Not a very friendly one.

That one's kinda cute though. Is it a baby?
