that was used by something, the Colbert Report maybe, as an example of what was wrong with the Endangered Species Act, that it was used to "encourage the sexual activities of the hornyhead chub" or something like that.

There is a marsupial called the Booby.

I never understood why the "save the Booby" campaign wasn't more successful than the other endangered marsupial benefits...

Who *doesn't* want to save boobies?

I searched online, but I couldn't find any tshirts. :(
There is, however, both a red-footed and a blue-footed booby, and if you google marsupial booby conservation, you get a link to a paper on breast cancer research, which is... interesting, since I'm willing to bet that "booby" doesn't feature in that paper, so google is "interpreting" somewhat. :D

We should make tshirts for saving the boobies, though. There's a huge market for those.
