I've recently been showing of my species list to several ZooChatters, and the general response has been the same:
Auckland Zoo's False Gharial in its enclosure; from when the species was first put on display in December 2029.
Unless the offspring is a bastard due to being the product of an affair, in which case that would be the *reason* for the divorce.
Good point Batman, didn't think of that. Or I suppose Daddy Roan could just want a divorce because he's the Bastard Oryx and he's just walking out on his wife and calf...
Yeah, tell me about it, I only asked people about their favourite lemur species, didn't expect the topic of bastardized ungulates to come up
But before the bastard oryx can finalize the aforementioned divorce proceedings he is tragically pursued and slowly disembowled and eaten whilst still alive by a roving pack of painted dogs. Knocked to the savannah floor he tries to get up but under the weight of his determined attackers stumbles and falls for a final time. He slowly succumbs to the vicious bites and blacks out due to blood loss as between 6 and 10 canids feast with relish on his flesh, tearing his intestines from his lower abdomen with the gusto of children opening a christmas present. He dies in the certain knowledge that his biomass will later be regurgitated in foul smelling vomit to a litter of wailing pups and that he never got to grunt a final "goodbye" to his bastardized offspring. What a cruel fate. Thus concludes an African ungulate Greek tragedy.
I didn't even notice. In my defence it was really late, and I'm on some pretty strong painkillers for a broken wrist. You'll have to forgive my lapse in concentration this time...
