Cryptozoology, literally means the study of hidden animals. Those creatures unknown to science, or surviving pre-historic relics.
But what of those animals so pointless, so worthless, so......CRAP[/l] that science just doesn't want to know, and remain hidden more from a sense of acute embarrasment than anything else?
Welcome to the shadowy world of Craptozoology.
Found from Berwick-upon-Tweed to the Highland faultline the Lowland Haggis is the best known member of the Haggis family, due to it's widespread domestication.
Flocks of lowland haggis can be seen grazing in field, droning tunelessly through their pipe-horns as they feed. Those in capitivity develop a taste for battered and deep-fried chocolate bars. Both the wild and domesticated strains have seasonal moults, their coats being short and bristly, grey in spring, turning russet brown in autumn before their white winter coats come in.
The most distinctive feature of the lowland haggis is that the legs on one side of it's body are smaller than the other. This unique adaptation allows it to run quickly along the sides of steep hills. The easiest way to catch one is to lay in wait and suddenly jump up, surprising the haggis, which then turns to flee. Unfortunately, due to the unique configuration of it's legs the hapless wee beasite falls over and rolls downhill, resulting in laying stranded on it's back, unable to right itself (See [i]fig1. A juvenile lowland haggis.)
