In nature,
there is no good or bad, just survival.
The same could
be said of the looks of the animals.

My own
experience is that very young children are not put off by ‘ugly’ and ‘scary’
looking animals such as the Warthog.
The popularity
of the latest series of children’s book, The Gruffalo
is a very fine example of this.
The Warthog
actually belongs to the domestic pig family and is only an herbivore. The most
amazing thing about this animal is that it could go for months without drinking water and it did so by
tolerating a higher body temperature and it could be very hot in Africa .
Coming to think
of it, it looks a bit like the Gruffalo! Who said there is no such animal as a
Gruffalo?
Indeed looks
could be deceptive, just take a look at our politicians and what they are doing to our
NHS. Give me a Warthog any day!
