On the day in late December that St. Louis crossed the threshold to its 200th homicide, a horrific slaying still managed to horrify even the most jaded observers. Three young women were gunned down in a car in the Fairgrounds neighborhood around 3 a.m., apparently after an intruder broke into their home.
Mort is a character in the Madagascar series. Mort has light brown and beige fur, big yellow eyes, a round head, a little black nose, long whiskers, mouse-like ears, buck teeth, and a long, squirrel-like, bushy tail. Mort usually serves as a foil for King Julien.
Madagascar can be divided into five geographical regions: the east coast, the Tsaratanana Massif, the central highlands, the west coast, and the southwest. The highest elevations parallel the east coast, whereas the land slopes more gradually to the west coast.
