It's not like the animals here are any less weird to me. They have plain foxes, raccoons, and owls. They don't have any turtle-ducks, cat-owls, or polar-bear-dogs!

[So Ash's ability to make creatures come out of these red-and-white balls borders on magic to him. Never mind that Snivy has a leaf growing out of its tail, nor would Sokka think it looks like a snake at all. He's interested in the weird stuff.

He's literally holding the book closely as if that would give him a better view.]

How did you do that? What sort of magic ball is that!?
