Each winter, the male of the species disappears into
his octagonal office (left), and comes out only
for skiing, sliding, and trips to the mailbox.
The female and young dwell in the main house (right),

ship orders in the office while he cooks exotic food and
attends to the offspring. Once each week, local residents
have the rare opportunity to spot the elusive Olivers as
they gather food in their aging Toyota.
