Sensible Drinking
and
Fuzzy Thinking
 

Hello ?
Any lions out there ?

(I thought so)

 
woof. let's just wait here for a minute. or an hour.
whatever it takes.   I am so thirsty.
 
okay, they're gone. woof.

 

I think they're gone. hello lions ?
nope. they're gone.

 
(Nancy's Giraffe has this problem especially.)
His mouth is eleven feet up in the air.
He needs special blood valves and some other stuff just to bend over enough to get a couple of quick drinks without passing out,   so

Drink your Nose:
Elephants invented

trunks so they don't have to bend over at all,
AND they can still watch for lions.

 
Everyone should have a trunk, but they don't.
So most animals drink for 10-20 seconds,
lift their little heads for predators,
and drink again.

If you have a better suggestion,
I'd like to hear it.
before the lions get back.

 
now you try it !
ask someone to be a lion.
pretend the floor is the water and try to get a drink real quick
before the lions get you.
(you'll probably want to bend your knees.)
raise your head up and down while you're drinking and
try not to pass out,
or the lions will get you again.

 
I think it would have been easier to eliminate lions
and crocodiles. and owls. and
oh never mind.

How To Water A Wolverine:

did you know it's very hard to give a wolverine a drink in captivity ?

they like to skip the whole water hole thing and
drink out of the depressions they make with their feet.

Because their feet are always moving when they drink,
they keep
knocking over their water dish!

makes the zoo keepers crazy.
