You changed it. It is plain to see that the time of last edit is after I posted.
According to some sources, the wild haggis's left legs are of different length than its right legs, allowing it to run quickly around the steep mountains and hillsides which make up its natural habitat, but only in one direction. It is further claimed that there are two varieties of haggis, one with longer left legs and the other with longer right legs. The former variety can run clockwise around a mountain (as seen from above) while the latter can run anticlockwise. The two varieties coexist peacefully but are unable to interbreed in the wild because in order for the male of one variety to mate with a female of the other, he must turn to face in the same direction as his intended mate, causing him to lose his balance before he can mount her. As a result of this difficulty, differences in leg length among the Haggis population are accentuated
This last question properly belongs in "Plant Sciences, Zoology & Evolution" (FOG) but I will leave it here for the nonce. The previous poster is making fun of a serious discussion.I suspect that the answer is NO, as the wild haggis would need fall into a pond before the mating could occur. The wild haggis is notoriously elusive and can run faster than fat beavers hampered by their flat tails.

I get the impression that JimBob is unaware of the use of the word "nonce" in the UK.
I thought nonce was originally Australian English as they invented a lot of prison terms.
