Now and Here… - » Alate Animal - Juan Valdez Mule : Conchita

via en.wikipedia.org

Juan Valdez is a fictional character that has appeared in advertisements for the National Federation of Coffee Growers of Colombia since 1959, representing the Colombian coffee farmer. He typically appears alongside his mule Conchita, carrying sacks of harvested coffee beans. He has become an icon for Colombia as well as coffee in general.

At the other hand… I saw this:

BOGOTA, Colombia (AP) (May 31, 2006) — Juan Valdez is retiring. Long live Juan Valdez! The ambassador to the world for Colombian coffee, Carlos Sanchez, is hanging up his trademark poncho after four decades of playing the role of "Juan Valdez."

Now the national federation of Colombian coffee producers, owners of the Juan Valdez trademark, is searching for a man to inherit that poncho.

Well, I know Juan Valdez and his mule Conchita. What is "Alate Animal"? Do you have any ideas?
