I saw a programme. A nature documentary. Not really my sort of thing but it was either that or Last of The Summer Wine.
It got me thinking... If we have plain lemurs and ring tailed lemurs, surely there's a plain version of everything. Like armoured illo's. But, apparently not. Illo's do not come in plain. There's not even a picture of one on google. So I'm thinking I may have sussed something out that even the scientists and Attenborough's haven't figured out yet. We must have extinct them. In the industrial revolution before google.
I feel awful knowing that we have killed them all and now future generations will never see one. Would they have been tameable? They may have been super friendly, made amazing pets, or worse. What if their blood carried the cure for AIDS or their boiled skeleton gave the cure for cancer.
But if they did, they'd be extinct before long anyway.
The guilt's gone.
I wonder what they tasted like?
