Ah, yes, a rare troop (or troupe) of dancing carnivorous ostriches (Struthio varminophagus fossei), caught in the act of synchronized gopher hunting.
Although once numerous, S. v. fossei has been driven to the brink of extinction, not through loss of habitat to human encroachment, but by the Veldt Gopher’s increasing disinclination to dig their holes at regular intervals along straight lines…

I didn’t know they had woodchucks in Africa.

They need woodchucks to dig those holes for the ostriches.

Dancing ostriches? In Africa? Dancing…?! Still a good secondary shot there, Broomie.

Well, they have meercats, although they’re slender and more numerous… is that close enough?

I’d say trotting Ostriches vs dancing.

Was that a Diane Fossey tribute fritzoid? Nice!

Strange, there were three ostriches here a moment ago…

JP Steve, it was intended to be a Bob Fosse reference, but Diane Fossey works as well…
