Groupon Says
The Groupon Guide to: Pachyderms
These slow-moving, oft-wrinkled mammals share a distinct, leathery gray hide, hence the term pachyderm, from the Latin term meaning "peanut skin." What are the three main types of pachyderm?
•Elephants: The wisest of all animals, due to their massive, knowledge-collecting ears, elephants are best known for their inability to forget things, no matter how horrible, and for instinctively knowing the location of their ancestral graveyard. For these reasons, The World Zoological Foundation in 1969 bestowed elephants with the coveted Saddest Eyes Award.
•Rhinoceroses: Rhinoceroses (or rhinoceri in Canada and the United Kingdom) are best known for the blunt horns adorning their snout, used largely to write primitive cuneiform in dry soil, alerting fellow rhinos where the dewy, low-hanging plums can be found. Rhinos are most famous for being the only animal uglier than the repulsive panda.
•Hippos: Hungry? Hungry! These ball-bearing munching marblevores can consume more than 30 white plastic spheres in a matter of seconds, aided by an ultracompetitive child repeatedly slamming the lever protruding from their backsides. Never one to back down from a fight, hippos are the only animals universally banned from all circuses.
