Oh silly me : It seems that there are several references to andimals on the net - either as wolves or birds ... or perhaps a combination of the two - sort of like harpies except the canine variety???. here's some: http://my.ort.org.il/holon/birds/bf47.html " Nest, domed structure of dry grass, leaves, stems, moss, lichen, twigs, conifer needles, bark fibre, often with rootlets and pieces of rotten wood, lined with finer grasses, rootlets, andimal hair, and feathers." http://sharon.edwardpultar.com/ "That was fun. We also saw a kiwi bird, which is very rare and almost extinct, but a very well known andimal from NZ..." http://home.earthlink.net/~myriah/p11eyes.html "...The dogs close behind, The watcher rips into the baying andimal's fur And streaks off again, a bolt of light..." http://us.geocities.yahoo.com/gb/view?member=dinomwinn "Wolves are not a domestic andimal and just maybe - even tho he may have loved you - your "beloved" wolf decided to..." hmmm . . . now how to fit this into the challenge lol. . .
