Tom the Dancing Bug by Ruben Bolling ENDANGERED SPECIES AND THEIR PRESS AGENTS Snow Owl Herb Kramer Herb: Listen, babe, I'm not bragging, but I INVENTED this whole fekakta business! After I put these birds on the map, every species realized that the name of the game is publicity! Manatee Barb Pecota Barb: So I said, "I see the cover of 'Time'! I see the 'Discover Channel'! But COME ON! MOVE a little! Jump through hoops! PEP UP, for god's sake! Tiger Shark Samuel Douglas Samuel: Okay, so we've got the "monster of the deep" thing working against us. But if we play up the mysteries of sharks' immunological systems, plus the fragile marine ecosystem, we'll get exposure out the wazoo! Amazonian Twig Newt James Hackett James: I figure our best bet is just to latch on to the whole rain forest deal. I mean, it's not like I'm gonna get a story on "60 Minutes"! It's just another friggin' lizard! Black-Bellied New Guinean Dung Beetle Lauren Riberio Lauren: Hey, my client isn't exactly a koala bear, but I'm starting out in this business.
