Foxes Don't Wear Bowling Shoes

It's not unusual for Slylock Fox to offer unsolicited advice. After all, most of the "crimes" Slylock investigates are simple misunderstandings or inane puzzles he happens upon and into which he sticks his pointy snout. But if a fox knows more about marsupial biology than an actual marsupial, the natural world is in a heap of trouble.

And as con mammals go, Shady Shrew has to be one of the worst. Everything about him reeks of untrustworthiness. If I were him, I'd do the following: change my name, or at least stop advertising it with a laminated button prominently featured on my shirt; shave; ditch the do-rag; and buy a better bag for my bowling ball.

But back to today's mystery. Newly born kangaroos are tiny, hairless, and embryonic looking and can barely make the treacherous journey from birth canal to pouch on their own. They are in no shape to jump around.

Am I right?

I am! I won this round, Bob Weber Jr!
