Another little known fact about the haggis is that the legs on one side of it are longer than the other side. This quirk of evolution enabled it to live easily on the sides of the steep hills in the highlands of scotland.

It is also thought to be what eventually led to its extinction... the canny scots realised that they only had to chase the haggis the other way around the hill, and unbalanced it would roll down the hill to the bottom of the glen where another clansman would pick it up and store it in the folds of the top of the great kilt and wait for another to roll down.
