Posted by Here’s the Tet Zoo Christmas card. As always, it’s strikingly Christmassy in theme and content (for 2007 go here and for 2006 go here). What does it all mean? Why, you’re a Tet Zoo reader: you don’t need to ask that! After all, you already realise the significance of qilins, cadborosaurs and Tecolutla monsters. Tizhureks and cetodipterans have yet to appear here I’m afraid, but they’ll definitely be making an appearance next year. And David Marjanovic has already noted that Atlantisia is preoccupied by the generic name of the Inaccessible Island rail Atlantisia rogersi, but that’s a sophisticated in-joke, of course.
And here are some other offerings from friends and colleagues, some of whom you’ll notice as Tet Zoo regulars…. some of whom you won’t. The adjacent pic is from Tet Zoo stalwart and ace birder Jerzy.
The other day I mentioned Phil Mannion’s new Wessex Formation rebbachisaurid paper. Simon Clabby – of DinoWight – was so excited by this he chose to express it in Christmas card form; nice one Simon 
Then there’s Mo’s thoughts (that’s Mo of The Disillusioned Taxonomist)…
And Luis Rey was so taken with the wonder that is Epidexipteryx that, here it is with appropriate festive decking…
Cameron – of Lord Geekington – produced this marvel…
Finally, yesterday – yes, I kid you not, on December the fucking 22nd – I received a lovely Christmas message from the Inland Revenue: pay us a few thousand quid by the end of January, or else! Yay – thanks you lovely people. We are doomed.
Have a good Christmas and New Year. While I was in Morocco Tet Zoo ver 2 had its two-millionth visitor. Thanks to you all for visiting, here’s to a good 2009.
