My national animal is the legendary Esquilax. Kudos to anyone who can tell me what the Esquilax is! (Except Asis ... because Asis knows me)

I could answer, but I just cheated with google ;)

My first bet was some strange mix of the equinox and ex-lax (not in any serious way, mind you) :x

I remeber from my school that it was something like a legendary horse, with the head of a rabbit, and the body of a rabbit or vica-versa.

:lol: Did it run like the wind or F*** like a rabbit - I can't remember

In Hoydonia the recent discovery of the elusive Skin Shedding Mink has fashion investors buzzing with the humane concept of actually wearing and caring for your mink. Fashionistas take note!

Squirrels are rather cute and mink like, though you oftentimes tend to see them somewhat busy playing with their nuts. ;-)

Think Mink!

Well, I've always liked my national animal ever since I learnt of its existence when I was three. It's the axolotl, a truly wonderful tadpole that is really very cute...honest!

My national animal is the Kelonian guinea pig, which is exacly like a normal guinea pig except it's the same approximate size as a labrador dog and is kept as a frequent choice as a pet due to it's almost total docility. And because they're just plain cute.

Ours is the wacko jacko. Be careful, for it may molest you to within an inch of your life. It hangs out with the common austrian arnold.
