When asked about his fascination with the animal by [Dick] Cavett, the artist describes anteaters as “angelic.” A master of PR, Dalí knew well by this stage in his career the marketability of his eccentricities but even so, his longstanding affinity to anteaters does seem earnest, and certainly well-documented.

Well I'm not sure we followed the same comment-chain logic, but I feel you, matey. And mucho thanks for checking in, here. Actually, I'd looked up c/animals a little before, and based on the last thing I read, my mind was asploded about specific vertebrae developed and non-developed in terms of neck bones. That was some awesome research IMO.
Fuck, we need to get you a web-TV series stat, assuming you look and/or sound a bit interesting?
