No walrus. That's effed up.
I don't suppose there's a walrus in the entire state of Arizona. I know I've been here a long time, but the thought that I live in a state without a single walrus still freaks me out.

Last night in Kung Fu we were taught a move that involves yanking out your opponent's esophagus. Our instructor paused for a moment before adding, "And just as a note, please don't actually yank out anybody's esophagus in class."
That bummed me out.

What, do you get up every day and google 'squid'?
And no walruses at all? Not even in the zoo?
I'll bet there's a walrus in the zoo in Des Moines. So we've got at least one.

The squid find me, I swear!
To our zoo's credit, they don't keep animals that would die in our environment without extraordinary intervention. I don't even think there's a seal or sea lion in the entire state. Freaks. Me. Out.

Poor squid. I hope they threw it back.

Or at least ate it.

How about a replica of the skull of a walrus? Does that help?

The things people do to keep themselves amused in the desert ...

Nope, no walrus here, either.
... that skull reproduction address is alarmingly close to my home. Where "alarming" < 0.5 miles.
Oh, the things you only learn via the internet.

Why, that *is* alarming, in a my-neighbor-is-making-a-human-skin-suit kind of way.

You know, on the Phoenix Zoo website they don't even have a full list of all the animals you can see there. That seems a bit slipshod...
But you can always visit the Prescott zoo if you ever get alarmed about the scant number of daily encounters with lemurs. They've got plenty.

I think I'm getting just the right number of encounters with lemurs, thank you.

Roofle!
When I was taking martial arts class, I had to make sure and not actually stun the forearm of my sparring partner with the move they teach you. From what she told me, it's got an Acute Funny Bone From Hell sensation...

But it's good to know you can stun someone's forearm, should the need arise.
