These cards were ever present in v' old days, I seem to believe they came in box where you could dial a name and your chosen animal appears. I don't think I'll try to find a full of set of animals A-Z , X is always tricky.....Apart from the guitar fact (see above) according to the back of the card.
Brer Armadillo : Dasypus novemcintus is...
"It is a first-rate sapper and miner, which can dig holes in the hardest ground"
"the armadillo reproduces slowly and all the young of one litter are indentical twins of the same sex."
Little Owls and Fluffy mackerel:
Update after I've had me tea!

Even later update: after I chatted to my mate steve.

I seem to remember the Wildlife cards, from the owls expression he's next on the menu for the food cards, which are fantastic, I've never seen so many disgusting dishes.
Chilled celery log *gags*
Those tomato chunk things *sounds of dry retching*
I went to an office party once where someone had brought a dish along which looked like the melon mousse, it was despatched out of the 13th floor window an hour later
