TORTOISE
A tortoise is never as curious or pompous as a porpoise
but is industrious instead. A tortoise has purpose, not like
a house mouse, but more like a hippopotamus.

RHINOCEROS
Here’s what a rhinoceros is not: A rhinoceros is not
a hippopotamus or Swiss chocolate or a chocolate
kiss or a macadamia nut. A rhinoceros is smaller
than a Tyrannosaurus, which is no longer with us.
A rhinoceros is bigger than ’most everything else,
including a breadbox or Volkswagon bus.
