Boobies have a funny name because they have a funny gait on land and a blindly fearless regard for people. Early explorers thought they were, well, naïve boobs. Boobies are so proud of their feet that their mating ritual involves an elaborate dance to show off those feet. This booby knits up quickly in the round and will be ready to dance in just a few hours!
