ANONYMOUS JONES'
AUSTRALIAN EMIGRATION NEWSLETTER #13
WHITHER WOMBATS - OR ANYBODY SEEN MY TASMANIAN DEVIL?
We here at the Anonymous Jones Australian Emigration
Headquarters feel that a further expose of animalian
kinkiness in the land Down-Under is long overdue. We
find it difficult to understand why anyone would be
content with a backyard full of stray cats, pigeons,
and the occasional squirrel, when through the simple
act of emigration, one could have bandicoots, quokkas,
kookaburras, euros and platypi. One interesting
characteristic of many Australian animals is their use
of pockets to stash things in, particularly young
animals. This has significant advantages, particularly
if you are a Burrowing Wombat and don't want the kids
to wander off while you're digging in an addition to
the rear porch, or a Tasmanian Devil out for an afternoon's
entertainment munching the occasional frilled lizard and
terrorizing impressionable tourists. Actually, there's a
real identity crisis among Australian mammals. Ever
since the continent turned south instead of north fifty
or so million years ago, thereby causing its inhabitants
to lose contact with the mainstream evolutionists,
Australian animals have been uncertain whether they are
mammals or birds. Two species, the Platypus and the Spiny
Anteater, even go so far as to lay eggs, a decidedly
un-mammalian activity. All this goes to contribute to
the growing attraction of Australia as a prime emigration
target. After all where else can you have a furry pet that
can double as a self-propelled purse?
