I was full of wonderment at this unusual mammal, with its circular head adorned by short ears, its round eyes, its white whiskers like those on a cat, its webbed and clawed feet, its bushy tail.
J'admirai fort ce curieux mammifère à la tête arrondie et ornée d'oreilles courtes, aux yeux ronds, aux moustaches blanches et semblables à celles du chat, aux pieds palmés et unguiculés, à la queue touffue.
