Name: The Gambia
Animal that doesn’t live there but that the country reminds me of: Duck-billed platypus.
As a tiny anglophone country in the middle of francophone West Africa, the Gambia is very much like a duck-billed platypus, which is an animal which is not quite a mammal (because they lay eggs) but certainly not a bird (they do suckle their young on sweated milk).
Most Commonly Seem Item: The British tourists.
Yes as a great destination for bird watchers and lower-middle class tourists who enjoy the kick of being comparatively rich, the Gambia attracts pale – beer guzzling – football fans, the way a flickering florescent light attracts moths.

I have questions. Do you think goats get sea sick. I mean you wouldn’t want to take a goat on such a tiny boat if it got seasick, that just would be right. Also would the goat try to eat the sail, goats will eat anything… Which means that if it did get sea sick it would be extra nasty.

Hmm, maybe goat puke makes really good bait though. Not the kind of bait you’d put on a hook but the kind of bait you’d toss overboard to attract shark (as in Jaws). Perhaps we have stumbled upon the secret of the Gambian fishing industry’s success.
