Today I would like to show you some animals from the zoo of Alar Toomre. These animals are all characterized by long tails and belong to two subspecies: The first consists of animals which always huddle in pairs, each individual having one long tail. The second, rarer subspecies comprises those strange animals which live alone but have two tails!
