"Hello everyone, and welcome to a special Birthday episode of Animalia Ambassadoria." said Sarah, getting the next episode of Animalia Ambassadoria started.
"Today, we'll be looking at some of the good, and not-so-good, things that happened to Animalia during Animalia's 6th Birthday." said Malice.

"Dino city is becoming quite popular recently, as is Skull Island, but not just because of the Dinotopians." said Sophie, via Skype. "Because of the reputation of Texans," At that there were several infamous clips of Texans being stupid, etc., "Dino city has become a kind of refuge for people/Dinotopians who are... not very popular there, to put it mildly. However, this is causing a new housing problem, so Horizon is scouting locations for a new Dinotopian colony. While there are internet trolls doing what they do best, one understandable suggestion is 'nowhere in or near Florida'." At that, several viewers put together a comment thread of famous, or infamous, "Florida Man/Woman" news stories.

"So now let us welcome some of our newest members, Sappho and Susan, who are both New Mexico whiptail lizards." said Malice.
"For those who don't know, New Mexico whiptails are one of the few, and perhaps only, vertebrates that is an all-female species capable of reproduction through parthenogenesis." said Sarah, including the link to the Wikipedia article as Sappho and Susan entered.
While most of the interview didn't pry too much, and was respectful, there were a few surprises for those watching.
"So, what made you two, as well as your new group, get into bodybuilding?" Asked Sarah.
"With Susan's help, I've been learning more about my namesake and her writings." answered Sappho, "During which, I learned about the Amazons of Greek myth, and I think that Susan and I should try to be more like them."
"You mean that Amazons are giant, muscular, women?" asked Sarah, "That's actually more to do with 'popular myth' than real myth. But to each his or her own."
What they didn't talk about was the reason why the Project was temporarily halted, which was because Susan and Sappho had started noticing the male lizards, which was really unexpected.

"Weddings have to be some of the best parties around." said Sarah, getting the batch of clips ready, "You get all dressed up, witness the power of love, drink the free bar dry, and remember the occasion with quite a few hilarious snaps. All of these and more were witnessed at the wedding reception of Animalia's fennec family." At that the clips began rolling, with all sorts of reactions. From guys and/or girls misbehaving after drinking too much, to one guy pranking a younger family member by smooshing his face into his slice of cake, to one guy trying to make one wedding photo "pop" by encouraging a group of guys to jump as a group only for the seam of his pants to burst, splitting right up the middle, but a digitally rendered "whoopsie" sticker protected him from most embarrassment. In this last case, that pair of "wedding trousers" was a quite a few years old, so it was one of those "it was inevitable" moments.

"Abby is going to be doing a special of her own where she'll be showing us her own coverage of the Indian Colony." said Malice. At that there was a picture of a Native American encampment, "No, not that kind of Indian." Then the picture collapsed into dust revealing a market in India, "That's better."
"But, in one of those 'Oops, didn't mean to.' moments," said Sarah, smiling and shaking her head, "Abby and her family came home not only to the new sauna, but also an outdoor shower." At that, she showed a picture of the stallion farmhands, obviously snapped by Sylvia, using the new outdoor shower. Fortunately, or unfortunately, they were all wearing high cut swimming briefs while doing so, since they weren't "confident enough" to do so nude.

"To wrap things up," said Sarah, "Horizon has declassified several initial transcripts of their project involving those suffering from nuclear radiation-induced illnesses. While Lyre/Animalia has been dealing with the survivors of the Chernobyl disaster in Ukraine, which also included Hunni Bunni, Heiya Island has been dealing with the survivors of the Fukushima nuclear disaster."
"What we can confirm at this time is," said Malice, "while those who were converted were larger, both in size and muscularity, only two new Animalians, both in Lyre/Animalia and Heiya Island, ended up as the near-Hulk Animalians that Hunni Bunni and Tsukuyomi became. As a final reminder, Horizon will not, I repeat WILL NOT, allow radiation therapy to be an option for conversions."
"Stay tuned for Abby's coverage of the City of Kings," finished Sarah, "but until then, See you all next time in the Wilds of Animalia."
