The funny thing is, it was right in the spreadsheet I was betrayed by clicking the wrong tab, which had an earlier edition of the tally in the reply box.

The giraffe looked down from his high vantage point, his gaze drawn to an animal hopping through the trees.
"You!" he said to the speedy lemur, "Get back here! What were you doing last night?"
The sifaka squealed and hopped away. The giraffe made to run after him, but felt a nibble on his rear. He turned in annoyance to see a cheetah with thick stripes down its back clinging to his hind end.
"Can I help you?!!?" said the giraffe.
"Yes" the cheetah said through a mouthful of giraffe flesh, "Why are you chasing that primate? Get back here and tell us why you seem so...mechanical."
"Oh my god," said the giraffe, "We've been over this. I'm done talking with you. I'm getting that lemur." He kicked the cheetah away and continued his pursuit.
"Fine," said the cheetah, "I'll look elsewhere...for now. Hey bear! I see you've still got rabbit blood on your face! Couldn't bother to clean up?"
The bear wiped his muzzle, "Well at least I'm not parading around in a banana suit. You look ridiculous."
The cheetah looked down. He was, in fact, wearing a banana suit. He had no memory of putting it on.
"Skill issue," he whispered to himself.
"Uh," said a voice from the aquarium, "I think we should follow the giraffe. See what happens. Or rather, you guys should. I can't exactly flop out of this tank onto the savannah. But I'm there in spirit."
There was some general muttering, and then more of the animals decided to go after the sifaka. By the time they caught up, the giraffe had knocked the sifaka out of a tree. He was stomping around, trying to crush the lemur under his hooves, but the quick creature kept dodging the blows.
"STAY STILL!" the giraffe shouted.
"NO PLS!" the sifaka shouted back.
The giraffe's stomping was interrupted by the cheetah latching onto him again.
"WOULD YOU GET OFF MY ASS?!" he thundered.
The cheetah shrugged, and jumped away, lunging for the sifaka instead. But he tripped on the edge of his banana suit and fell short. No matter, several of the other animals had finally managed to trample the feisty lemur underfoot. It fell, sparking and twitching. It had been a machine all along!
@Lawpy, who was Poacher 2 (posing as a Coquerel's sifaka) and the 1x strongman wolf
Once considered a subspecies of Verreaux's sifaka, Propithecus coquereli was eventually granted full species status and listed as endangered due to habitat loss and hunting. They get their name from the alarm cry they make when they see an enemy (shee-fa'-ka). Perhaps the most famous of the species is Zoboomafoo, the titular character of a children's tv show, portrayed by a sifaka named Jovian who lived at the Duke Lemur Center. He was often filmed leaping through the trees of his habitat. With their powerful hind legs, sifakas can propel themselves more than 30 feet in a single jump! A group of sifakas moves about one-half mile a day and covers its entire home range in 10 to 20 days.
