A funny creature (by Laura)

We encountered this marvellous creature at a recent visit to the zoo in Santa Cruz, Bolivia.

I had never seen one before and was bowled over by it. I just stared and stared. Surely it only still exists as a species because it moves so slowly that nothing can spot it, or if it tastes so monumentally disgusting that nothing wants to go near it.

I'm not sure even the cheesy grin can redeem it.
