Life with Frood
May.24, 2008, filed under Miscellany
I’ve come across a reference to Aepyornis and have to look it up. Then I see Pelagornithidae. I find the current lack of megafauna distressing. I wanna see a giant toothy albatross.
“Why don’t we have any big animals any more?”
“Because they’re tasty. Eventually we’re going to be left eating cats, dogs and hamsters. No moo-cows, no sheeps.”
“But we grow those.”
“Ah, but we won’t grow them fast enough because people are making too many babies. We’ll eat them faster than we can grow them and then we’ll eat cats and dogs and hamsters until we realise that children are bigger than cats. Then we’ll eat those instead. Then we’ll go extinct! Hamsters will rule the world!”
