There are a million species we don't know about. We haven't even explored all of earth yet.

You'd need a massive plate to fit it on alongside a portion of chips and mushy peas.

@ birdy - 26.07.17 - 06:04pm Bring back the thylacine. Letter in the Adelaide Advertiser said a thylacine was spotted on the Eyre Peninsula here (a bit west of where I am) recently and also back in the day (60's-70's maybe) Distinctive stripey pattern they have.. Not certain, but the possibility is there. |
