Names for common (?) critters

I see someone got speed goat in here.

Pole cat is a skunk. How about a "bear cat"?

Around here a whistle pig is a ground squirel and a flying rat is a magpie.

How about "slow elk"

or a "fur bearing rat"

Among the birds we have "marsh monkeys" and "mormon chickens" (no offence meant)

And from coast to coast in all locations we have "road pizza"

Chris, are you sure you dont mean those WORTHLESS little disgusting things called goats.

I do agree that from a distance sheep look more like actuall maggots but there was never a range war with goats. Everyone knows they dont belong on a healthy prarie.

 

[chris matthews]

Goats - sheep, What's the difference? They both stink when wet!

And they both eat stuff that a tastier animal could be eating!
