    A short winged raptor eating a dead rabbit. Very jolly. Probably symbolic of 'business ethics'.

    No useful ideas.

    If that's a deer, it must be a Giant Yum Yum Bird.

    Somehow the animals have a more Mayan or Central American flavour than Chinese.

    Could be a Capybara (largest rodent in the world) from South America.

    Nah. Capybara look like big, fat, mice/rat/hamster hybrids. :D
    They also have small ears.

    I know it has a brain the size of a tomato, but I can't help thinking that beast is looking down its nose at me, and not only in a literal way.

    Hi Messi,
    I had friends in Florida with one of those "pig rat" cappys Shirley for a pet in the house. It reminded me of Drummand (my groundhog pet) at least he was outside. Shirley used to sit in a club chair she weighted 150 lbs. I asked if it used a litter box. They said no but it used a throw rug on the sun porch and only went at night.

    Too bad Shirley wasn't a wombat. They pooh cubes, so it would be much easier to clean up.

    Hi Messi,
    When my son was little I got him a pair of Chinchilla rescues. They were the best since their urine and pooh have absolutely no odor. It used an old glass pie pan. It took a daily bath in a shoebox with powered dust. They were going to be put down since they chewed holes in their coat. Could not be used for breeding since it might be a defect. They stopped chewing a week after we got them. It was probably just a nervous reaction being so crowded.
