National Geographic Kids Magazine was launching an Afrikaans edition. Being proper souties (Afrikaans for English) pretty much the only thing Mike and I knew was that Afrikaans is well different (Afrikaans is Anders) 

A skunk is a mouse-dog (muishond)

A gifraffe is a camel-horse (kameelperd)

An octopus is an ocean-kat (seekat)

David Whitehouse whipped up a few animations and the next thing we knew we had done our first little stings.
