It’s weird how the national animals of the UK countries are either mythical or not native. Wales has the dragon, and England the lion. I don’t think Ireland has one. It might have been a snake, but they were all driven out by Saint Patrick, don’t you know.
On a side note: I do like your new profile photo. I used to think Betty Boop was cute. There was a singer here in the 90’s called Betty Boo, who was also cute when she was “Doing The Doo”.
I’ve always had problems with diarrhoea……………problems spelling it.

It is rather odd. More in a mythical vein than real.
There was a good Betty Boop impersonator around for a while. Maybe that was her.
I have had trouble with that word too. Have been successful lately though.

I knew baby rabbits are called kits but not the rest of those. Thanks for the information.

@DaddyEvil I won't see the doc until later this summer. Spiritually I am going through a change. It's been a weird time.

@celticeagle I'm sorry. Have you talked with your doctor about feeling "weird"? Maybe they can give you some insights?
