    Just a point of clarification: The correct spelling is nauga, not nogga. The wild nauga is native to Central and Southern Wisconsin. The mating cry is most distinctive, and is heard (near to College Campi) some time near Spring Break.

    They have, as I understand, been hunted nearly to extinction, but by some deft retro-breeding of the domestic nauga, it is hoped that soon there will be some able to be released into the wild.

    There is also that strange breed of sheep, developed in Japan called the acrylic and widely exported to the West. They are especially useful in cleaning up the infestations of plastic foliage in the pastures of both the UK and USA and Canada, thus saving prime grazing land from destruction.

    Oohhh... I thought he was referring to the snake spirits of India.

    I stand corrected, sir. What does the mating call sound like? So being that the distinctive mating call is near colleges around spring break, does sound anything like a young coed saying "I'm so wasted..."

    Wow! I accidentally highjacked this thread...
