The toraton is a fictional creature made for the t.v. show: The Future is Wild.
The toraton lives 100 million years in the future, and its closest ancestor is the tortoise. It lurks in the Bengal Swamp, which replaced the Bay of Bengal after Africa collided with southeast Asia. The toraton is 23 feet tall and weighs 120 tons. At this time, the toraton is the largest creature (let alone the largest turtle) to walk the earth, if measured in terms of bulk and weight (growing even larger than the dinosaurs). Although the young Toratons are small enough to be killed by Swampus venom, the adults are too big to be harmed. In fact, a full grown toraton has practically no predators. The toraton eats constantly, putting away 1,300 pounds of vegetation a day.
The toraton cannot withdraw into its shell like the tortoise could, but its shell is used to protect and partially support its weak muscles. The toraton has also evolved a digestive system that has a muscular stomach (to grind its food) and a gut filled with bacteria (to digest the rest of the vegetation). The toraton is completely different from its ancestor the tortise. Its legs have moved from its sides, to completely underneath to support the tons of massive muscle on this enormous creature.

The line of succession to the Ethiopian throne is described in the first section of the 1955 Revised Constitution of Ethiopia.
In brief, the title of Emperor may pass only through male descendants of HM Haile Selassie I, through the oldest male line before the younger. Other qualifications are that they be born in lawful wedlock, be an Orthodox Christian, and not married to a foreigner or against consent of the Imperial Family.
In the event that there were no qualifying male descendants of Haile Selassie, the nearest male relative who is descended from Sahle Selassie would then be heir.
In March 1975, the monarchy was abolished by the Derg, the military junta that had forcibly taken over during a Communist revolution. The current Constitution of the Federal Democratic Republic of Ethiopia makes no provisions for a monarchy. The Crown Council of Ethiopia considers Crown Prince Zera Yacob Amha Selassie to be Emperor-in-Exile.
Sagaxus is a character from the Redwall book series. He is an anthropomorphic badger.
Son of Badger Lord Hightor of Salamandastron, Sagaxus is also known as Sagax, and his full name means wise, or wisdom, in some unknown language. Growing up, Sagax's greatest friend was a troublesome and gluttonous hare-gluttonous even for such a beast-named Bescarum, Scarum for short. Hanging out with the mischievous hare led to trouble, and finally the two left the mountain to go off on their own. Hightor approved, as he thought it would be a chance for his son and Scarum to grow up.
Setting out on a journey with a sea otter named Kroova Wavedog, Sagax quickly became disenchanted with his hare friend. Scarum's overly gluttonous matter, combined with his fibbing personality and bad manners, led to quite a bit of tension between the two. This, however, was nothing compared to the trouble the gang ran into, as they ran afoul of a gang of Freebooters.
Held captive by the vile corsairs, the three were saved by Trisscar Swordmaid the squirrel and Shogg the otter, both adversaries of the Pure Ferrets, who commanded the Freebooters. Joining forces, the band of five set out for Redwall Abbey. Sagax became good friends with Triss and Shogg, and joined in the search for the lost badger keep of Brockhall.
In the chambers of the great dwelling, Sagax joined his newfound friends in battle with the Freebooters and three evil adders. Overtaken by the fearsome Bloodwrath, he slew the adder known as Harssacss. He helped cleanse the woodlands of Freebooters, and joined Triss as she sailed to Riftgard, home of the Pure Ferrets. Pausing only to stop at Salamandastron, Sagax and co. overthrew the vermin and freed their slaves.
Afterwards, Sagax came to live at Redwall with Bescarum. He planned to visit home once every season, and also arrange for his parents Hightor and Meleon to visit the Abbey.
Sagaxus' weapon is a massive battleaxe, like that wielded by Orlando the Axe. It was taken from Plugg Firetail. His name came from the fact that his mother hoped he would grow to be like his ancestor, Russano the Wise. He was voiced by Ron Meadows.
