Somebody please tell James Hackett that a newt isn’t a lizard. It’s not even a reptile. (On the up side, you may actually be able to use that fact to your advantage in promoting them.)
Maybe if we flipped things and made the animals the PR staff it would work out better. And with the right choice, even the current administration’s optics could be improved (though, to be fair, that’s not a very high bar to get over). Plus, it wouldn’t look so bad on the turnover front to be represented by a species with a natural lifespan that matches the average length of the appointment term. You know, maybe a cockroach or even something more elemental, like a slime mold.
Danny Frasier’s campaign in support of Bacteria FL7-138A might be more successful if Ruben were to give her a better command of English diction. It’s “all right,” not “alright.”
If you care about the existence of mankind, then the beetles and bacteria are more relevant than the Koalas, Pandas, Snow Owls and other cozy animals. If you don’t care about humans, you may kill the pests altogether. (Which we will probably do anyway. Maybe not all pests, but all humans.).

I hear that amoeba in the White House is getting a lot of press. What’s his schtick?

Are those press agents supposed to be real people? Are we supposed to know that?
