“I'm just saying it lacks a certain something, that's all. Style. Dignity.”

“You are looking for dignity in your convoluted death traps now?”

“It's just that crocodiles are traditional. Lions? Classic. Tigers and bears, I can understand, but - “

“ - are you about to start singing the Wizard of Oz?”

“What? No! What?”

“Ah, well. You know, I do not think I have ever been thrown to the lions.”

“You must have been....Wait, wasn't there that guy in Norway who wanted to sacrifice you to his lion-headed demon?”

“That does not count, that was simply a man in a rather inferior costume.”

“Are you suggesting it would have counted if the costume had been better?”

“Perhaps. At any rate, that does not apply to our present predicament. Those are not costumes.”

“No, but still....I feel as though we're not being taken seriously here.”

“You know, they can run at thirty miles an hour and kill more humans than any other mammal in Africa per year. Humans excepted, of course.”

“Somehow, that doesn't help. It's just...being thrown to the hippos. We can never tell anyone about this.”

“Agreed.”

They look pretty ridiculous as well...and the name's not as bad as the honey badger. Now there's an animal with a bad temper.
Glad you liked it, thanks!
