Rory, you look like a wild animal. A Scottish wild animal.

What's wrong with you? What's your problem, Rory?

I don't have a problem. I have a topic. Shall we talk about wild animals?

Wild animals, dear listener, it's a comeback.

We used to have this topic, but now it's a comeback.

Now they can ask questions about wild animals.

What's your favorite wild animal?

Oh, there are so many to choose from. But if you force my hand, then I would say capybara's are, well, I like capybara's the best.

I just think they're a perfect representation of inner peace and calm that I would really like to have in my life.

And I do, but I would like to have more of it,

like a capybara. Are there many wild animals in your country? Well, not unless you include the

people, especially those people from Glasgow. Seriously, though, yeah, we do. We have foxes and

badgers, and there are deer roaming around in the forests.

And closer to the coast, we have things like otters.

I think there are lynxes somewhere as well, although I haven't seen those last two anywhere.

Have you ever seen wild animals?
