cool ascii site

I came across a nice ascii web site with lots of cool animations (maybe
you already know it ? ... I'm quite new at ascii art. I post it anyway
in case you don't) :

http://www.multimania.com/caribouteries/

They are in french though ... except one that is in both french and
english versions.

They are about cariboo and "dahus". I dunno if dahus exist
in english ... It's a mythic animal, kind of cariboo with two legs
shorter than the two others (the two left legs or the two right legs) to
walk on the side of mountains. Dahu hunters try to approach them from
the back, and yell at them : so they turn back ... and fall down.

I went once to hunt the mythical Dahu. It was supposed to crawl on the
beach... over the dunes only actualy (because of the two short legs).
It was night -you're supposed to hunt the Dahu at night- and I didn't
catch any so I don't know how they look like. I expected them to be a
lot smaller than a cariboo anyway.

PS: maybe the kind of Dahu you find in the mountains is called Bahu...
    ...dunno really.
