Keeping in the tradition of strange and unusual subject matter, Ann Mansker
has managed to keep a constant stream interesting information about obscure
critters. These posts help add some diversity to the group, and in some
cases, help curb appetites.
Special thanks to Michael Griffith, who supplied me with the first
critter post about the herterocephalus
glaber, or naked mole rat.
