copyright © 2020 by Robert L. Blau

As the leading authority on alien zoology on planet Zork, I am pleased to announce that my recent researches into the behavior of Earth creatures have greatly increased our knowledge of Earth species enabled me to update our catalog of these creatures' panic reactions, to wit ...

zebras/antelopes - run

turtles/tortoises - withdraw into shell

skunks - release noxious spray

opossums - play dead

porcupines/hedge hogs - roll up in a ball, present quills

octopi/chameleons - camouflage by color change

armadillos - jump straight up in the air

humans - buy toilet paper.
