Animal of the Day - Zebra Longwing


It was the responsibility of Guidance Councilor Hernandez to announce the final results of the election. Clearing his throat and whispering into school intercom, he stated that- to no one's surprise- Splendiferous the Unicorn had secured victory. Long may she reign!
Overnose and Middlenose sat with Manfred on the far side of the school. The Buffalo was distraught, but not entirely surprised. This was how life went.
And yet the moles were suspicious of this uni-horn unicorn. Where had she come from? What were her true purpose. They were not true detectives like uncle noseworthy, but they could sniff out the suspicious...

Friday Mythical Creature of the Day - Tengu


With all of the hubbub surrounding the school election, no one noticed the first of the Flappus Priests arriving in town, recently exiled from the Turtle Emperor's kingdom.

Animal of the Day - Yak


Sergei understood Manfred's desire for order and reason, but in his homeland he had seen many quadrapeds slaughtered mericlessly for the sake of deliciousness. Reason would not last while man's insatiable hunger endured! Strength is what mattered! Power!
