I thought he had a resemblance to my cousin Ralph (The wombat, not Ed)......
Squirrels are the architects of forests, the planters of trees, nature's own acrobats and show a zest for life that can inspire us. Every day should be National Squirrel Appreciation Day!

Many of these (squirrel) migrations were probably caused by food shortages as well as habitat overcrowding. We solved that for them. We not only reduced their habitat, we reduced the whole species by about 90%. The least we can do now is share a little birdseed with them.

There's a book floating around out there called, "Did you ever see a fat squirrel?" I was gonna check it out from the library because I thought it was about the local fauna, but it turned out to be a diet book.

ANSWERS
1. Melbourne is the capital city of what Australian state?
Victoria.
2. On July 25, 1956, the SS Andrea Doria collided in the fog with what other cruise ship? (The Andrea Doria would sink, the next morning.)
MS Stockholm. I thought everyone would remember the Andrea Doria, but the other half of this event might prove a little more challenging. And so it was!
The Stockholm has gone through several name changes and a major rebuild, but is still sailing as the MS Athena.
3. Which of the following Australian animals is not a marsupial?
A) Bandicoot B) Echidna
C) Tasmanian Devil D) Wombat
The Echidna is a monotreme (an egg-laying mammal), like the Platypus.
4. Although the Dutch had sighted Australia in the 17th century, what explorer claimed it for Great Britain in 1770?
James Cook. This may be another automatic Jeopardy answer: British explorer in the Pacific = Captain Cook.
POINTS
Six perfect scores again, but none of our top three leaders have them! This could result in a shuffling of the standings (once JBillyGirl posts the weekend scores).

Catfish = 0
