JAGUAR

What do you know about the Jaguar?
I don't mean the British car.
You may see one in the zoo
And a South American jungle too
If there someday you are.

LEOPARD

In Africa but hard to spot
Are leopards with their spots.
For wily cats are these
That like to be in trees
And eat their prey ere it rots.

BOBCAT

BOBCAT 1

This is the bobcat.
It's not Bob, the cat.
But surely you will find
That this cat doesn't mind
If you call it that.


BOBCAT 2

Here is the Bobcat.
Have you seen such a cat?
I don't know the tale
That explains its wee tail,
And sorry I am for that.


BOBCAT 3

Here is the Bobcat.
In North America is its habitat.
And presently you will find
With a wee tail it's designed.
I don't know the why of that.

NEW KIA PLANT

West Point, Georgia says to Kia
'We're sure glad to see ya.
For Detroit we don't mourn.
We don't call bulgogi foreign,
Though you brought it from Korea.'

WILDCAT

The Old World Wildcat
Is about as big as a house cat.
Though it's small, it's tough.
When it's hungry enough
It likes to dine on rat.

MAMMOTH DNA

A mammoth’s DNA has not been lost
Thanks to its hair preserved in permafrost.
Long, long time that mammoth napped.
Yet its DNA has now been mapped,
Never mind the cost.

In twenty years, due to cloning,
A living mammoth vets may be owning.
And perhaps they will.
But is this a skill
That they should be honing?

MAGNAPINNA SQUID

Have you heard about the elbowed squid
That in the depths till now has hid?
Its elbows are its attraction.
Were this critter at an auction,
Perhaps they'd help it bid.

But this creature is only a kid
Compared to the giant squid,
Which also lives in the deeps
And still gives me the creeps
Just like it always did.

At a depth of four thousand feet,
It doesn't sweat the summer's heat.
Where the pressue all around
Is seventeen hundred pounds,
It finds things it can eat.
