Actually it should be Panthera. She gave me enough hints in the post where she wrote nose bear. You see Swedish and Norweigan are very similar. We understand almost everything from each others languages. All I had to do was find the english name for what we call "nose bear".

Hey, I went to look it up in a dictionary, but our dictionary doesn't have "nose bear"

Why haven't we given it a "proper" name?

Well, I also found out it's name, but then you'd already posted, so I think that it's your turn, but I have a pic. if you need more time..

Panthera · 03-22-2006, 05:21 PM

Well, since nobody's posting anything (yes I'm impatient) I'll just post a pic. Might be a bit easy though.. Have to go find some more unknown animals..

What a cute

horsey

please don't read spoiler unless you have no idea what the picture is of..

That's a Tapir.

Obviously, this is a snake. But what kind? Is it poisonous or not? Is it a friend or a foe?
Answer quickly...it might bite!

First I assumed it was a Corn snake, but the colours weren´t right. So my guess is Coral snake. Venomous!!

Nope, but you're close enough that I'll call that a correct answer.

That's a Scarlet Kingsnake. It's colors are the same as a Coral Snake, but they're in a different sequence. There's a rhyme about the difference-

"Red on yellow
Kill a fellow
Red on black
Friend to Jack" (or "Venom lack", depending on the source)

Kingsnakes as a group are non-venomous, and in the wild they prey on poisonous snakes, so they are actually a good snake to have around.

Heh, I don't want to boast, but I knew that Capybaras and Maras are all rodent since I was in primary school. That's because I used to be in the Frankfurt Zoo Youth Club, where we learned all kinds of things along those lines (and occasionally we got to help one of the Animal caretakers. I got to help feed the birds of prey...I couldn't bring myself to kill all those baby chickens by hitting them against a the stone stair, though.

And one time I helped feed the baboons and other monkeys. It was fun hiding the food in boxes and all [and then see the baboons choose the easy way by ripping the box open

]).

The Capybaras are just around the corner from the Maras in the Zoo Frankfurt.

I recently learned that Hyena are more closely related to Cats than to Dogs. And even more closely to Meerkats and Mongooses (that's one vicious jaw that Meerkat has, isn't it?

).

I hope you don't mind if I post an animal to guess.

You even get two pictures! Guess away.

I´ll remember that rhyme

Where I live we only have two kinds of snakes. One of them has a poison, but it´s certainly not life threating. That makes venomous snakes really interesting for the kids in school. (For the same reason they´re really intersested in vulcanos and earthquakes.)

Those are Maned Wolves.
(In the first photo, you can see an interesting trait they share with Camels. When they walk, they move both legs on one side at a time. Most mammals move opposite legs, e.g. left front and right rear, then right front and left rear.)

Not to mention that they have extremely long legs.

And yes, those are indeed Maned Wolves (Chrysocyon brachyurus), my favourite animals!

Yes, that's an actual photo of a real living animal.
No, it's not a dinosaur.

Fairygdmther · 03-24-2006, 12:51 AM

Is it a pangolin? Looks kinda like an armadillo, but isn't related.

Anyone know what this is?

Lynsie, that was a difficult one. Here´s a wild guess

Is it a Jaguarundi? I´ve searched a predator gallery on the internet and that was the closest. Too bad the picture doesn´t show its tail.

Fairygdmther · 03-24-2006, 09:08 AM

No, not a jaguarundi, he has a very long tail, and weird front paws with retractable claws, and though he looks like a cat or a dog, he's neither.

That's a Fossa.

Those eyes just scream "nocturnal". They have them in the Grizmek house.
