10 Animal Styles That Did Not Make It

In one of my silly moments in class (not that I am known to have silly moments) I decided that it would be fun to create a list of 10 animal styles that were never created. Actually, they may have existed but just didn't survive until today...
  1. Armadillo - would seem to be a great defensive style
  2. Giraffe - you could win by forcing your opponent to block upward for the entire fight until they succumb to neck injuries
  3. Snail - technically not an animal but neither is a praying mantis
  4. Dolphin - I know, once again not an animal but fast, acrobatic with hard snouts for striking....this would seem like a natural choice
  5. Jellyfish - continuing with the sea creatures, these things can cause a lot of pain and even death
  6. Rhinoceros - if they knew kung fu, would they still be endangered?
  7. Peacock - what does crane have over them?
  8. Three Toed Sloth - blinding speed
  9. Camel - the style could teach ranged attacks as part of the normal training
  10. Rabbit - Monty Python fans know that they can be very deadly

If we're being technical, snails, praying mantises and dolphins are definitely animals. A dolphin is even a mammal!
