Guess the animal!



My grandson Harvey J sent this picture over from England for me; it will hang amongst several others by my equally talented other grandsons.

So, what is it? 10 Brownie points for the first correct answer; other assorted points for well-informed guesses.

    Just an ordinary ocelot? A Leopard? My neighbor's cat?

    Morning Cro - That's easy - it's a lesser spotted dalmation octopus.

      Well done, 10 points to you, Sue. I think it's an excellent likeness too (not that I've ever seen a Cheetah close up).

      I was just about to say 'two-toed sloth' before Sue came up with the right answer, but I can see.

      It was clearly obvious from the spot formation. Couldn't be anything else.

    Oh my goodness, it looks like a cross of a Dalmatian with a turtle or a salamander.;) I love the imaginations of kids.;)
    But can see it is a cheetah from the few comments above and that kinda makes sense in retrospect.;))

    I was thinking leapard, ocelot or spotted frog but I see I was on the wrong track.

    Darn, I woke up too late to get into this contest and missed out on getting brownie points. I just love brownie points.

    I think it's one of those amphibian Cheetaoctolizards. Up close.

    I, too, woke up too late to hazard a guess. The face looks like a turtle, and i wondered about the long tail. I kept thinking of sea creatures.

    I see gift of drawing has been passed along!
