Kinkajous dislike being awake during the day, and dislike noise and sudden movements. An agitated kinkajou may emit a scream and attack, usually clawing its victim and sometimes biting deeply.

They live an average of about 23 years in captivity, with a maximum recorded life span of 41 years.


Olm:

The olm is a blind amphibian endemic to the subterranean waters of caves of the Dinaric karst of southern Europe. The olm is the only species in its genus Proteus, the only European species of the family Proteidae, and the only European exclusively cave-dwelling chordate. In Slovenia it is also known by the name močeril, which translates as "the one that burrows into wetness."

It has 3 toes on its forelimbs, but 2 toes on its hind feet. It also exhibits neoteny, retaining larval characteristics like external gills into adulthood

Haha, I was actually thinking the same thing. Eerily similar to my entry on urbandictionary (http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=DC&defid=939406). Ooh, I can get it printed on a mug.

That worm thing looks like a parasite that would eat your bowels.
