Icegedunk: Seal with a Wheel - with TheCrescentHare


Listen Later

We join forces with Christina attempting to tackle this pain-in-the-ass cryptid mystery, only to have it completely run over us... with its wheel... on its ass! Yup, this cute seal has a freaking wheel between its buttcheeks... which it uses to zip through its arctic landscape!

The internet disregards it, the locals want it dead, but we want to figure out just what the heck this wheel is??? A tail? A horny outgrowth? Petrified cheese? Or maybe something more disgusting 💩

======================

Huge THANK YOU!!! to The Crescent Hare, a.k.a. Christina (actually a barn owl in "human" disguise) for making me ROFL for over 2 hours 🤣, and creating her magnificent Icegedunk artwork!!! Guys, she has made cryptozoology history with this awesome art piece, which may be purchased HERE
