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.

Nope.

Susan Heather said...

It's not Freddie is it?

Handy Andy said...

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

Cro Magnon said...

That's 3 guesses; 2 were close!

Cro Magnon said...

Nope.

elaine said...

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

The Owl Wood said...

A tortoctosquidragonoise? It's great whatever it is!

gz said...

it has the look of a lizard, but the air of a cat!

Kath said...

yes I was thinking lizard or newt. We like our quizzes in blogland don't we? :-)

Cro Magnon said...

I'm afraid you're all wrong so far... Keep going.

Sue said...

Cheetah?

Cro Magnon said...

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).

Tom Stephenson said...

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

John Going Gently said...

Whatever it is..even I would not adopt it

Sue said...

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

Zuzana said...

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.

Cro Magnon said...

There'll be more, Arleen.

Kat said...

Of course it's a Cheetah!!!! Nothing like Grand's artwork.

Amy Saia said...

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

Cro Magnon said...

You would have been 'mentioned in dispatches' Amy.

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!

hyperCRYPTICal said...

Oh dash! I was sure it was an octopus!

Anna :o]

Tess Kincaid said...

I was going to guess dalmatian...I miss little kid drawings on the fridge...

Grandma Yellow Hair said...

How funny! Nothing better than our collection of art from our grand babies.
I kept thinking it was a sea creature. hahah
