ant-eaters – Lee Duigon

I love animal videos, and these assorted ant-eating mammals are just irresistibly cool. But I can’t decide whether to advise you to mute the narrator or to leave it on and marvel at an appallingly bad script that had me sitting open-mouthed with astonishment. This may be the worst script ever written. I mean, it’s got it all–Evolution as a person, flat jokes, and bathroom humor. The only thing missing is someone to stand behind you and pull your hair.

Maybe it’d be best to play it safe and mute it, just in case whatever this guy has is contagious.

I offer it as a kind of “Ripley’s Believe It Or Not” item.

Here’s a critter some of you may never have heard of before–the pangolin. It’s an ant-eating beast that lives in Africa and can’t be rhymed with anything. If it was a few hundred times larger, it would look like something that wrecked Tokyo while fighting with Godzilla.

Because the pangolin’s front claws are so huge, it has to walk on its hind legs, all slouched over. Very poor posture!

Look at the size of the hole it digs, getting at the ants. I think you might almost rather have the ants in your back yard.

Please feel free to try to think of something that rhymes with “pangolin.”
