Lego Blocks...due to genetic experiments gone wrong, mutated Lego Blocks took over the wild so they were adopted as the national animal. When ever they get out of hand, you can cull them and then stack them neatly on top of each other so they dont take up space.

Well, seriously... I chose the lion... nothing really fancy. And you've heard of the lion being King of the Beasts...

in our religion(cylindism) the cylindrical giraffe was the first(and only) animal created by the great cylinder, 3 minutes after your god created earth, and 13.5 seconds before your god created giraffes. if he had created it 3 or 4 minutes earlier the earth would have been cylindrical and the dominant species would be cylindrical giraffes. that is why they are revered here

I chose blackbird because blackbird is an excellent Beatles reference. I considered walrus, but I decided to use it with my puppet, Lennon McCartney.
