<<If the Tanuku has *toes* (in common with Parahippus, etc.) then it can be as Eland-like as we want from the ankles up. The anon author of the entry on p. 105 of ML just didn't notice the difference 'cause the Tanuku was standing in high clover. =) >>

     Yup, that's what went into Anaxial's Record.

 There was an article in the local paper about the Ripley's Believe it or Not Museum that showed a picture of a display of a man who could kneel in an oven with a piece of meat in his mouth until the meat cooked without suffering any harm himself...>>

      Entirely OT comment: You can find out how this particular trick works in Houdini's 1920 book 'Miracle Mongers and their Methods' (ISBN 0 87975 817 1). It has to be said, you still need a lot of stamina and resilience to heat...

Forward the glorious Red Army!
