    “If I stand verrry still….one of those birds might think this looks like the perfect nest.”

    “The Egyptian Plover, Pluvianus aegyptius, flies into the mouths of crocodiles who are waiting patiently on the shores of the Nile River with their mouth open, hoping the plover will feed on bits of decaying meat lodged between the crocodiles’ teeth.”

    Charlie is laughing at another Blonde Coyote joke… So a blonde coyote walks into a library and says, “WOOO! RABBIT BURGUR AND FRIEZZ?!” The librarian screams, “Oh my! This is a library!” “Oh….sorry,” the blonde coyote whispers, “may I please have a burger and fries?”

    “What? Sometimes a coyote’s got a hairball too!”
