why would you thou?

'however, as time spent in captivity tends to bring about stress, depression and malnutrition, leading to early death.'

Just wondered, read an article about them in one of the papers.

Would be a cool pet to have! I'm not into keeping animals out of their natural habitat, so I won't have one.

World's most pointless thread?

Seems that's as close as we're going to get.

Is his a veg slicer (terribly dull) or a musical instrument (much more interesting)?

The instrument for sure, but he may be doubly blessed. I must check.

Never heard of them, look extremely cool. Probably shouldn't be kept as pets though.

Yeah, I know, it would be cool to have one though!

I'm a lover of all creatures, from tiny bugs to Elephants (my faves).

My god I remember that thread.

I have carved wooden ones, stuffed toy ones, carved white stone ones, knitted ones, blu tack ones, about 40 in total.

Fave is Jeffery, big Melissa and Doug cuddly one, stands on our bed all day looking out the window.

I'm a slightly mental soppy tt.

We considered getting a pangolin, also looked at binturongs, coatimundis and echidnas but in the end we just got some rescue cats from the local centre.
