My attempt at Swenglish was a complete and utter failure. I was thinking of a person laying sett stones onto a street (see picture). Is laying the right word to use? And just translated the Swedish word into English, and then removed the first part to get a broader group. I didn't even realize that I used Swenglish. [:)]

Ah! I see our posts have have crossed in the ether.
Good morning, Gentlemen, Ladies, Aliens, Barbarians, Grandfathers, Geniuses, Chiefs, Vegetables, Layers, Insects, Jaguars, Physicians, Nerds, Generals, Firemen, Zorch, Marines, and good morning to the rest of you as well.
I'm in a category by myself! Like a zoo animal that's the last of its species.
Nope. Not at all. Like a valued, unique, friend.
Besides that, I never seen such a thing at a zoo. Sounds a bit like a myth the me. "Yes, sir, this is the last Zebra in the world. It will just cost you 10 dollars to watch this unique animal up close. It is one of a kind, and when it dies the race is dead. Extinct. There there are no more Zebras. Do not wait. Tomorrow might be to late."
