There are said to be some tales of The Golden West that stir up visions of things never imagined by the pioneers on their westward treks.
There was, for example, the immensely massive Higgs Bison. Vast herds of these glorious beasts are said to have once thundered across the open plains, usually in circular paths seventeen miles in diameter.
It was initially planned to domesticate them, to fit them out with specially designed saddles called Gluons, but all such efforts never stuck. Their spirits would simply not be bound.
Even the mighty Higgs Bison was not without its predators, however. If an animal got careless and wandered too close to a large boulder or Meson, it could be Lepton, an event of terrible Graviton.
One odd Quark of the wildlife of that time and place was its Strange Charm and Color. Sadly, since the photography of that time was only available in sepia-and-white, much of that splendor has been lost to us and is only recorded in the literature.
Today, conservationists are actively debating whether this fauna should be reintroduced into its Fermion habitats, Top and Bottom. This writer prefers to remain Neutrino on the subject however.
