Sorry it's taken so long Steve - pregnancy brain.

An interesting animal I had
We "had" silkworms for a while when I was at primary school. The worst thing was getting the mulberry leaves for them because we didn't have a tree. Sometimes we'd take cicadas to school show-and-tell especially if they were something other than the usual greengrocer variety.


An interesting animal I ate
I had crocodile at a pub in Willoughby once. I avoided the fried insects at the night markets in Bangkok but roast bogong moths are supposed to be tasty - just avoid the ones in cities which tend to hide out in sewers.


An interesting animal in the museum
I'd like to see the thylacine again - a must for all Australians.


An interesting thing I did with or to an animal
I'd rather not remember all the rodents I've killed in the name of science


An interesting animal in its natural habitat
I liked meeting the local wildlife in Europe especially the geckoes http://rowena_h.blogspot.com/2004/07/wildlife.html on our apartment walls.
Back at home, the echidna that we met on the slopes of Cradle Mountain was memorable. It was smaller than it's mainland cousins, to cope with the cold I guess, and was unconcerned snuffling up ants as we walked past.
