Several years ago I received as a gift a book of different animals. However, the picture of each animal's body had been cut into three pieces, and the pages of the book enabled me to make different combinations of animals. The name of the book was Por-gua-can because in the creature shown on the cover, the head was a porcupine's, the torso was an iguana's, and the feet were a pelican's. Suppose there were 8 animals. How many different animal combinations would be possible
