The Dragon Snake

So another New Years Resolution completed (one out of the three). To celebrate here is a legless dragon limerick:

A dragon does not really need limbs

And if he heads to the sea and then swims

It helps build his muscles

Then he’ll win knightly tussles

And its cheaper than joining most gyms

Such dragons are often called sea serpents and tend to fight those knighted for services to the navy

The Hissing and Slithering Rabbit

Rabbits are famous for their speed and mating ability. Although a legless version is not as quick, luckily carrots have not yet evolved legs and legless does cannot get away from bucks so quickly. These animals are remarkably lucky despite their lack of paws (after all since when has a lucky paw ever been lucky for the rabbit it was cut from?)

If snakes looked more like rabbits ophidiophobia would probably only affect carrots

The tiger snake

If sharks can come in tiger varieties it is only right that snakes do too. It is thought that Tiger snakes live in Australia (see http://www.australianfauna.com/tigersnake.php). However tigers tend to live in India so I think the Australian idea is a bit unlikely…

Snake snake! Burning bright, in the forest of the night...

The legless bull

Things that make people so angry they sit around and moan but do not actually do anything are like a red rag to a legless bull. These are magnificent creatures and easy to run away from if used in some sort of running of the bulls festival.

If you run a china shop and want a pet bull this is probably your best choice.

More legless animals – The rat

It has been a while coming due to the distance from where the computer lives and the neares scanner (over 10 metres). However here is a rat that without legs has managed to get round the maze and get to its cheese…

The friend of the lazy rat catcher (although unlikely to follow piping musicians in Hamelin)

Limbless Pig

Legless pigs evolved as a result of mans desire for ham. As ham is so tasty pigs with smaller legs survived and passed their genes onto the next generation until a breed of pig evolved that could not be used for ham.

These pigs can be still used for bacon, until they evolve into backless and bellyless pigs

Dogs Missing Body Parts

Dogs with no noses are famous for their comedy value. Less well known is the following joke:

Man* 1:My dog rolls around in stinking refuse

Man 2: How does he smell

Man 1: With his nose

Incidentally the “no nose joke” was the most popular out of a range of unfunny jokes such as:

Man 1: My dog has no liver

Man 2: how does he detoxify his blood and synthesise proteins?

Man 1: Badly

And the one most relevant to snake like dogs…

Man 1: My dog has no legs

Man 2: How does he run?

Man 1: Awfully

These dogs can be easily trained, but they take the command “heel” to be a bit insensitive.

(* Women would not waste their time with crap jokes**)

(** Not when there are jobs around the house to do)

A Cocky Tribute to the Year of the Snake

This creature has evolved to counter predators who are addicted to chicken drumsticks.

Being legless it wakes you up every morning but there is little point trying to chase it away.

Monkey Business

Nobody can ever go through life without asking themselves what would a monkey look like if he had no arms or legs. I am pleased to present my response to that age old and often asked question:

This is biologically weird, blue trees are very rare

Legless Ram

Following the horse in the Chinese Zodiac is the Ram. A legless ram or sheep is known as a cloud, and can often be seen flying in the sky…

Common species of legless sheep are cumulus (from the latin for legless sheep) and cumulonimbus (from the latin for nimble legless sheep).

Beware of the Cumulonimbus legless sheep who when threatened can attack with bolts of lightning
