The Nomadic Wildlife of Summer

Summer brings out all manner of wildlife for us to celebrate. But forget the appearance of the common barbeque species, often accompanied by the cloying smell of Coppertone. The true sign of summer (apart from summer reruns) is the emergence of genus icecreamistruckus, commonly called the Ice Cream Truck, from hibernation.

This animal only comes out when summer weather is truly upon us. Their tinkling mating call is quite distinctive, and sounds something like: "De-di-lut-de-lut-di-lutdidoot" (sorry for the bad impression).

Rare in some areas, these creatures  appear for one purpose and one purpose only: to attract and dispense its goodness to human children (and the young at heart).

Occasionally known to gather at festivals and fairs with fellow members of the truckus family, (the chip truck, roadside canteen and cotton candy stand), they are normally a nomadic breed. Their natural habitat is basically wherever the weather is warmest. Parents, when learning of one roosting close by, will send their offspring curbside with change jingling in their pockets to feed the wonderful creature and witness firsthand the splendor of the species.

Be on the watch for this rare creature. They are such a treat!
