Sad but there is an aadvark unaccounted for from the Zoo fire this morning. Sad

Inflammatory title.
Trump-esque post.

8/10.

What does the aardvark look like I’ll keep an eye out?

Ottis the Aardvark before being cooked;

‘why the long face?’

Tastes like chicken.

Confirmed dead I’m afraid.

They did vark aad to save it.

I bet the meerkats started the fire as a diversionary tactic to cover up their escape.

Tastes like socialism…

The light that burns twice as bright burns half as long – and you have burned so very, very brightly, Mr Aardvark.

Barbaquaardvark?

Chaardvaark surely?

Chaardvaark surely?

😆

🙂
Well done.

Which is nice, as that’s the best way to serve it.

Chaardvaark surely?

Chaardvaark

Brilliant 😆

My proudest singletrack post to date

…and all it took was for an innocent animal to die 8)

How do you know he was innocent?

I’m sad though

I live all the animals.

How do you know he was innocent?

He was a she you sexist pig!

What about teh meerkats? 🙁

Meerkats are sneaky little bastards.

Bet they took the opportunity to bolt.

Apologies Scotroutes.

This thread really is an emotional rollercoaster for Josh.

Plays a blinder with the chaardvark comment, then descends into wanton plagiarism.

Apologise to the meerkats 🙄
😆

Here its not me that called them arsonists!

Apologise to the meerkats

Yes they could be completely innocent and possibly victims. Let’s not smear the meer.

So many jokes, is there a banteater loose?

Chaardvaark lol.

Oh no, meerkats snuffed it now.

Chaardvaark lol.

I know I shouldn’t, but that did make me laugh.

Which is nice, as that’s the best way to serve it.

Surely it should be rare…?
😉

4 meerkats missing presumed barbecued dead 🙁

Pink Panther is sad about the aardvark.

Was one of the Meerkat’s called Sergei? !

ZSL related.

Our lab has just won a collaborative £1m grant to hopefully answer the question why elephants don’t get cancer. (We kinda know it’s because they have multiple copies of p53 gene)

We have access to the ZSL preserved dead animal archive which goes back >100 years.
When I heard about the fire I was worried that preserved specimens may have been lost.
Sad for aardvark & meerkats too tho.

My day job involves collecting colons from cancer surgeries, Im going to need a bigger bucket, for the elephant colons!

For a second there I thought you had a really smart dog

When I heard about the fire I was worried that preserved specimens may have been lost.

I did some electrical work there last year. My first thought was if it started anywhere near there. Seems it did start pretty close (adjacent building) but far enough away to be nothing to do with me 8)

Just a short paws then?

Stop taking the **** piss.
