But there were 2 of them!! Did anyone see the 2 very well preserved deers outside the holiday house behind the toilet tonight? I assume they're house decor for one of our stylish Millionaire Hill Billies, but anyone know what the deers are about??

Do the deers have any connections to the "incident" that invovled so many cutesy fire engines and even an ambulance at the Main Street and Tai Peng / Yung Shue Long intersection?

P.S. How clever was it to park the ambulance right next to the ATM at the bank? Did they think Pinky would strike again? :lol:

Pinky is in a friendly and mellow mood these days, no imminent attacks are expected...

Deers at the Bali Resort? Stuffed ones or are they some of Alastair's recent life-size deer sculptures, part of an upcoming Noah's Ark full of animals he's sculpting for a Mainland client? They'll even include dinosaurs - small ones - as his client doesn't seem to believe in evolution.

Or maybe the deers are decorations for the renovation of the former "Table for Two", which is rumoured to become a Western-style bakery soon which would be great and most welcome!

Now I understand... they must be the life-size sculptures! I thought they're Satan's little helpers...

Or perhaps the deers got to the island a couple of months late for their table for two... If the restaurant had used the deers to lure customers instead of the freaky guy who mumbles with a hand puppet outside the toilet, I'm sure they would do a lot better... :lol:

I haven't seen them yet myself. Any digital pictures to be uploaded by somebody?

Can any of our Faunatical experts here confirm the exact zoological species and nomenclature (whatever that means) of those two stuffed or sculpted animals?

Deerus Bambiensis or Bovinis Moomilkeae?

Though not exactly Faunatical, I'm pretty sure they're of the Deerus Bambiensis nomenclature, and not the Bovines Moomilkeae (or their close relative, Heiferius Sirloines) family. :lol:

Moose? Definitely sounds like Alastair's work.

Let me check out the photo-gallery-in-progress of the Lamma-zine "Artist of the Month - Aug". Is it one of these two moose below?

The one by the toilets does have antlers. It's on a steel framework base though. Otherwise looks identical.

OK, the mystery has been solved!

Thanks to another wildlife expert frequently spotted in his native habitat, the Island Bar, his usual watering hole, full of dangerous predators lurking to drag in unsuspecting thirsty animals to the ground with the help of Gravity PocketsTM, devouring them alive!

The surviving wildlife expert called the two sculptures Caribous!
After some online research I have to concur with my extremely learned & modestly anonymous friend, whose nickname is derived from another cunning animals, the fox! Oops, did I just hint at his nickname? :oops:

They're both male, so what are they BOTH doing on AA ("Alastair's Ark")?

I saw them, and I dont think they are moose--- they look more like caribou. The antlers are different.

Dear Granola eater,
I think lamma gung has already quite clearly remarked that they were Caribou, I think you should stop eating Bobsys food and start to smoke spliff on the back of the early evening ferry, then you may actually be aware of what is going on around you.
