Cerro Gordo, California (Strutts News Services) –
Long believed to be extinct, a small herd of female Indricotheria was discovered Thursday by two amateur Porphyrophobic scientists at a local watering hole.

Ms. Tooncie Crumbler of the Cerro Gordo Oceanic Institute described the find as “…something so incredibly awesome! We saw them in their natural habitat before we corralled them. They were so docile.”

“They had the distinct odor of unglazed, unfired pottery, and showed pink scars where they had been injured from fighting for dominance,” added Mr. Lannie Foosers, Ms. Crumbler’s assistant and mentor. “We found no males in the herd, but they must be around somewhere.”

The herd, eleven in all including one juvenile, was transported without incident to the Inyo County Fairgrounds, where they will be fed and sheltered until their rightful owners show up to claim them.

I enjoy reading news & science reports that aren’t all doom and gloom and  end on a positive note, especially when we get to discuss them on The Overnight Open Thread.
