Prehensile black tongue
Pokes out, and above it two
Hairy ossicones!

I'll protect your sheep.
I'll carry your heavy load.
I'll spit in your face.

We are not a band,
But high up on craggy land
dance on cloven hooves.

A cephalopod:
Arm, arm, arm, arm, arm, arm, arm...
Where's the other one?

Badger-folk I see:
Mustelids and Hufflepuffs;
Redwall forever!!

Down under, petite,
leaping to eat nectar, or
maybe in torpor.

Jawless, perhaps, but
I can still suck your blood with
an ocean of teeth.

Madame Berthe, is that
a mouse lemur? My, what large
testicles it has!

Gliding high above
Arctic tundra, gyrfalcon
casts little shadow.

In Madagascar,
sifakas leap and hop, but
never crack a smile.

A great blue heron
STABS! then eats, powder clumping.
Say goodbye, fish slime.

The fawn on the lawn
faces East at dawn; it is
still, with golden sheen.

I love you a peck,
a bushel of feathers still
cloaked around my neck.

Small and flamboyant,
you can mail the eggs of this
fish out of water.

Like tiny tapirs
or miniscule pachyderms,
but we eat more bugs.

It's time for more animal haikus!! Unfortunately, I no longer remember who asked for which creature, but I do still have my list of animals. So here we go...

Common Suriname,
Eggs exploding from its back.
What the heck, nature?
#Frog

It's a horse, of course.
But it cannot count to ten.
Nice try, Clever Hans.
#Horse

17/45

I'm 'eater of twigs'
or 'he who strips of the bark.'
Or 'sprinkler monster'?
#Moose

18/45

I'm venomous and
won't be happy as your pet.
Please leave me alone.
#SlowLoris

I don't eat popcorn
but I love to eat fruit, like...
figs, figs, and more figs!
#Binturong

20/45

Up and down the trees,
a passel of opossums
picks thousands of ticks.
#Opossum

21/45

African monkeys,
unlike other mangabeys...
Gee, its own genus!
#Kipunji

'Killers' of the sea,
but excellent grandmas too.
Thanks for all the seals!
#Orca

I think that female
might be happy to see me?
Chomp those bones, lady!
#Hyena

24/45

Molt and molt again,
acrobatic little gems.
I've left you some seeds.
#AmericanGoldfinch

25/45

Prehistoric worm
has spikes and a teeth-lined gut.
Smile for the nightmare!
#Hallucigenia

Hypnotic dancers,
tunneling through your business,
leaving only musk.
