Pottos on the Rampage!

Potto | Animal Database | Fandom

Pottos all over the world are enraged about there being even any question about allowing them to enroll in Quokka University. Throwing bricks, setting fires, letting crocodiles loose from zoos–Mostly Peaceful Pottos (MPPs) are tearing the world apart.

The Mostly Peaceful Pottos say they won’t stop until they get everything they want. Humans are warned not to travel alone in the treetops. If you must creep from tree to tree, clinging to and swinging from the branches, try to do it during the day when most pottos are asleep.

A spokesquokka for Quokka University, Emma the Quokka, said she and her fellow board members were “terribly disappointed that this sort of controversy should occur before we open our very first semester. Nobody said we wouldn’t admit pottos! Honestly, the subject never came up–until now.”

Any decision, she added, will be deferred until after the quokkas hold their annual Fli-Back Paddle Ball Tournament.

Should Pottos Be Admitted to Quokka University?

Hardly anybody’s here today, so I guess it’s safe to discuss a burning issue that threatens to tear the world of higher education right down the middle.

Should they let pottos take courses at Quokka University?

Opinion is divided between “What’s a potto?” and “Who cares?” Which camp do you belong to?

Important question for any readers who might show up this morning:

Is it okay now for people who are not in the NBA to play basketball, provided they wear masks and observe Social Distancing? True, it would make playing defense virtually impossible; but who bothers to play defense anymore?

A Baby Potto

Here’s a critter some of you may not have ever heard of: the potto.

There are no tree sloths in West and Central Africa where the potto lives, so the potto has taken on the sloths’ job of hanging upside-down, moving very slowly, living in the trees, and being cute. The baby potto in this video was born in the Cincinnati Zoo in 2010.

Unlike sloths, pottos are nocturnal. Bad bridge players, too. But neither of those characteristics should be a bar to making friends.

God’s stuff–way cool.

An Animal You May Have Never Heard Of: The Potto

Mr. Nature here again–to whisk you off to the Cincinnati Zoo to meet any animal that most of you, probably, have never heard of: the potto.

The potto comes from Central Africa. It may remind you of a sloth, but it’s actually a primate, related to apes and monkeys. I can’t think of many things that would be more pleasant than to hold one of these babies in your arms.

Anyhow, we thought we’d give you this to start off the morning, rather than any of the “hard news”–hard news for hard hearts–of Democrats making as much trouble as they can before leaving office next month, purposely leaving messes that will have to be cleaned up.

To think that we ever allowed ourselves to be ruled by such people…
