Name that animal - round 3



Yes, that was a pink fairy armadillo (image credit here). Kudos to Tess and Mieke.

Today we offer a two-for-one special on "big ears." Have a go.

    This is really akward. I'm sure I am not the only one that has noticed the name of the animal is always in the name of the picture, you can see it very clearly in the picture's properties.

    Is that cheating? Of course I won't reveal what it is to those that want to research it. :)

    It's never "cheating" to outsmart the blogkeeper. And thanks for pointing that out.

    I've fixed it now (try "peeking" again...)

    I looked at it and said:
    "Oooh! It's a Fennec Fox!!!"
    (My dad witnessed this)
    I looked it up straight away and well- yep! There is the image.
    Now the other one....

    I agree with Tess that the lower photo is a baby Fennec. The first though - that's hard!! Am I getting close if I google "rare big-eared rodent"? National Geographic have a nice video clip.

    @anonymous - if you go to the "search" box at the top of the blog and enter "name that animal" (in quotes), or click here - "Name That Animal"
    - you can see all 14 rounds of the contests. Answers are usually given for the previous question when the next question is posed.
