Cherry · October 13th, 2007, 16:59

Is that a tarsir?

Korn · October 13th, 2007, 17:01

Yes, I guess so... all I know about it is what I just saw here:

OK...who knows what this wonderful creature is...

Cherry · October 13th, 2007, 17:23

Is it a pangolin?

absentmindedfan · October 13th, 2007, 17:36

Correct

Mr Flibble · October 13th, 2007, 17:48

Cherry · October 13th, 2007, 17:53

It's a bush pig

(I didn't know that off by heart though...

)

absentmindedfan · October 13th, 2007, 18:10

Red River Hog, to give it its full name.

What with the hoglets and the baby Tapir we're certainly getting our share of stripey Baby cuteness today.

An easy one:

And a fluffier one:

piggy · October 13th, 2007, 18:23

piggy · October 13th, 2007, 18:25

absentmindedfan · October 13th, 2007, 18:28

Hmm..looks a bit like a Kingfisher of some sort.

Stu · October 13th, 2007, 18:30

That one's just a kingfisher, isn't it?

Stu · October 13th, 2007, 18:39

And how about this little fella?

absentmindedfan · October 13th, 2007, 18:40

Hmm..that's either a Ya Rly Penguin or Mr Flibble

They're very similar

piggy · October 13th, 2007, 18:40

Mr Flibble · October 13th, 2007, 18:41

Hint: He's got his apron on ready for some baking

piggy · October 13th, 2007, 18:42

RedWellies · October 13th, 2007, 18:48

Blobfish;
Dumbo Octopus;
Alpaca.

But who's this handsome chap?

Stu · October 13th, 2007, 19:12

No takers? It's an Aye-Aye, and he wants to be your friend.

emmapresley · October 13th, 2007, 19:15

BlackCats · October 14th, 2007, 17:27

I would be terrified if I saw that, I think it's the eyes.

Cherry · October 21st, 2007, 22:39

Has anyone read 'physik' by Angie Sage (or is it just me who reads children's fantasy fiction

) - there's an aye aye in that. Not a very friendly one.

That one's kinda cute though. Is it a baby?

bryzee86 · October 22nd, 2007, 0:50

Gorilla · October 22nd, 2007, 13:49

how about this little cutie:

RubyDuby · October 22nd, 2007, 14:47

so adorable! what is it?

Gorilla · October 22nd, 2007, 18:12

nobody?

...it's called a cape fox:

The Cape Fox (vulpes chama) is the only breed of the genus Vulpes in Africa that can be found under the equator. This fox opts for open habitat like savannas and also semi-desert territories and do not like forests. A typical Cape Fox weighs 2.6kg on average. Their covering is silver-gray, with red head and fore limbs.

The Cape Fox is basically nocturnal, but the newborns play during daytime hours. Cape Foxes hunt for food independently and are not territorial.

BlackCats · October 22nd, 2007, 18:15

It is really cute.

Gorilla · October 22nd, 2007, 18:21

who knows what this is?

foxytina_69 · October 22nd, 2007, 20:40

aweeeeee these animals are so precious.

RubyDuby · October 22nd, 2007, 20:44

A water opossum?

It's obvious what animal these are, but they're my favourite out of this species. They make little bivouacs in the rainforest. My question is..does anyone know their full name?
