This guy has been trying to creep into a book I'm writing/illustrating...we'll see if the book ever becomes a reality...
Colossus Bird
The colossus (co-loss-us) bird is one of the largest birds on the planet and by far the largest bird at the Imagitoons Zoo! Colossus birds are so large that they need four stout legs to hold them up! Their small wings have no hope of allowing the birds to fly so instead they are used to cool the bird in the Sun's heat! These birds really ham it up for a crowd, which is why they are one of my favorites! This particular bird eats A LOT - anything we give it - and we are constantly having to clean its exhibit...in fact it looks like we need to now!
Well my friends, that's the Imagitoons Zoo thus far! You've been our first guests through since we opened - I'm sure we'll add more animals soon! Now back to your regularly scheduled Imagitoons...

Optipluralis Whale
Our last stop at the Imagtioons Zoo Aquarium brings us to the largest aquatic creature at the zoo - the optipluralis (op-ta-plur-al-us) whale. Its most distinct feature is of course its size. What most people notice next is its distinct tail shape. The large fan like tail enables the optipluralis whale to swim quite fast for its size. The feature most people miss, and the feature for which the whale's name is derived, is its multiple eyes. The optiplralis whale's eyes can act together to help the whale see for long distances, or they can work seperately to help the whale see most of its surroundings. The optipluralis whale is pretty rare to see in the wild and we're even one of the few zoos to have one of these wonderful creatures!
Well kiddos, that wraps up our walk through the Aquarium - now it's time to go see the Land Mammals exhibit! See ya back here Monday!
