Should I inform paleoanthropologists? It could be a sensation!

Eureka!!! Why did Crichton waste all of that time writing Jurassic Park, the answer is already in Nigeria.

Write back to him and ask if he can also get:

Manchuricanium Phukbotbot monkeys. I hear they are big in China ATM (but randy little buggers).

Animal scammers (those whose scams involve the sale of animals from rare or non-exsistant species) usually get a lot of attention.

If you were to post their suitably masked address (do you feel like sharing?) I'm sure others would be only to happy to keep this lad amused over the coming weeks.

I've done a few of these, and would be prepared to have another go..

Normally it's the old, "we are a baby animal orphanage, and we have to much stuff, you can have the animals for nothing IF you would pay freight, transport, licence fee's etc,etc.

But to carry it off properly, you must be prepared to do a bit of research,
into what can be imported and what can't.

These sites will help to confuse and delay,

http://www.cites.org CITES = Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of wild Fauna and Flora

www.traffic.org TRAFFIC = Trade Regulations Affecting Fauna and Flora in Commerce

http://www.iucn.org/ IUCN = International Union for Conservation of Nature

And of cause there's the good old WWF world wildlife fund www.wwf.org

And if you want to confuse them even more, do a typo , to WWE

and when referring to animals always use the Latin names.

Could you ask if he has any Flores hobbits around?

Many scientists would be interested...

if you're interested I took them all from the link in

All of them are Cameroon based (probably same lad) pets/birds adoption scams.
Just instead of asking for the monkey they offer, I asked if they are monkey-sellers in general and have this particular type. My circus urgently needs one. So I can play it my way. And Lucy is so lonely during the last few millions of years.

I asked the last animal lad I baited for two Snake Trousers, and guess what, he had them!

But the best is that he offered me to buy some Gummi Bears. I saw some really nice education in that lad.

Animal scammers have had a hay day in the parrot world and scammed many of my friends.

These aren't asking for animals but claiming to have the rarest for extremely cheap prices.

I have a particular hate for them as they filled my classifieds so much I had to remove it from my website.

We love animal scammers here.... anyone remember when we were asking for Thyloxenes and Passenger Pigeons a few years ago...

Classic....

Fill in requests for extinct species.... see what he quotes you and then make him fill out the endless forms that allow you to transport endangered species and such... I believe we drove G0at Boi to insanity with some of our requests. ... but he promised us Blue Whales for around 9000 usd... Shipped UPS

I'll edit when I find Link...
