Attack of the Coatimundi

[Schmoe]

I love coming across new animals I never knew existed, like this goddamned dragon, for example.

Two questions: what the hell kinda monster is that?

And are they good eatin'?

It looks like it has some kind of Dimetrodon sail, but on it's tail rather than on it's back, and there appears to be a head frill folded down against it's neck.

So what the hell IS that?

And are they good eatin'?

For the record, coatis are good eatin'. The Indios on Central America eat 'em every chance they get.

Sailfin lizard, native to Indonesia I think.  Aside from their appearance, another cool feature is a vestigial third eye on top of their head.  Apparently it detects light and is thought be used for sense of direction.

I've heard that, about coatimundis being good eating.  Wouldn't think it from looking at them.  Apparently echidnas are good too, tribes in Africa also eat those any chance they get.
