Animalistic Negotiaboo

By Steven Akinnfest

This story is trifold: it delves into the Whale's excitement, the Lion's cunning tactics, and human ingenuity.

Driven by the burning desire to satisfy her children's requisitions and demands, as well as her own curiosity and courage, Gloria embarks on a heartfelt quest that accidentally discovers how the Mountain Lion crowned itself as the king of the NAB, and animals like the Toad, Frog, Turtle, Camel, Beaver, and Walrus undergo physical transformations the same day!

ANIMALISTIC—BOO!

ANIMALISTIC—BOOHOO!

ANIMALISTIC NEGOTIA-BOO!®

We’ve heard of the lion as the king of this,

And the king of that;

Despite the presence of most of the jungle’s

big ferocious, powerful animals

and merciless predators,

the Mountain Lion declared itself king

with neither opposition nor challenger!

A Fiction and a Fable

The Mountain Lion declared kingship of the North American Biome.

All of the big-cats of north America: the Margay–Leopardus, the Bobcat, the Leopard, panthera-pardus, the Canadian-Lynx, the Jaguar–Panthera, the Oncilla–Leopardus, the Tiger, the Ocelot–Leopardus—as well as bigger mammals like the Big-Bear, the Elephant, the Dragon, the Rhinoceros, the Hippopotamus, the Camel, and the Giraffe—all gazed in awe at the Mountain Lion as he continued his announcement, dashed from one mountain to the next, declaring himself as the king of the North American Biome…whereas none of these animals could step up to challenge the Mountain Lion, AKA the Puma, Felis concolor.
