An Excerpt from the Annals of South Pacific Natural History





An Excerpt from the Annals of South Pacific Natural History
(Edited with notes by the Propaganda Minister of the former Ducktatorial administration of South Pacific)

[Johan, most notable of the South Pacific duckic population, in traditional costume, making a public appearance for The Day when Bad Things Din't Happen.]


After the purposeful eradication of the apex predator Panthera lethargus from the majority of the South Pacifican islands, it became clear that the most powerful remaining animal was the duck. Previously, they had been prevented from achieving their full potential by the ravenous panthers, to whom they had been a major source of prey. Now, at last, they could rise to take command of their own isles, having after many centuries finally driven back the invasive placental predator.
The day when the last panther was shot and killed (by an echidna, one of the ducks' natural allies against the dark menace) is now celebrated annually as "The Day when Bad Things Didn't Happen".



Notes
The current leader of the pantherine population has recently issued a request to the magnanimous Aquiline delegate regarding the establishment of a "Panther Sanctuary". This is presented as being a means by which a suffering species could be protected, but dear reader, do not be fooled by the panther's silver tongue. In truth, the last few islands over which that most cruel of carnivores still hold sway are being threatened by insurgencies of militant socialist sloths, sponsored by a rocky outpost of a Europeian nation, and supported by the majestic navy of His Most Supreme Royal Ducktatorialness, Johan. This piteous display from the pantherine leader is but an attempt to acquire international recognition of his tyrannical regime, and prevent the establishment of a peaceful Slothic Socialist State.
