I think I forgot to play this last week so this week, you get two animals and – stay with me here, each of the two photos has two animals (mama and baby) in it! Totally crazy, I know.
The only rule is: no researching. Just post your best guesses in the comments. Be creative. Answers will be posted in the comments later today.
Hmm I think that’s a desert lynx because of it’s ears they look a little big for your “average” cat and the other picture is of an Eland?
I just noticed the first picture has THREE animals in it – mama and two babies. All my fine plans, ruined. What a world!
Oh my god! I want one!!!
You’ll need to specify which one. Also, no mailing.
i would like one sand cat but am willing to take a pair. I will build a sandbox in the basement to prepare for him.
Uh oh – I already mailed you an oryx.
Awkward.
I guess I better cancel that delivery of 300 pounds of sand. But at least I can put my lawnmower away!
And you can start inviting over people you want to see gored. Although the scimitar horned oryxes have their horns pointing in such a way that it makes for a rather tedious goring.
I never know them, but this time!! Sand cat and oryx!
I agree those are sand cats
Top, sand cats. Bottom, well, hmm. I saw an article about them being bred for canned hunts only a little while ago, so it’s almost cheating! Oryx.
Sandcat and gemsbok? I tend to get my antelope confused, so I’m probably wrong on that one.
Hmmm, in the top photo I name them Biggles, Cardinal Fang and Nancy. In the bottom, Lois and Kiefer.
Win.
The top one is clearly of the fuzzy snugglepotomus.
The other is the Oryx I believe — and I think the ones in the canned hunt story from 60 minutes a few months back
I love the kitties – are they for adoption??
ANSWER TIME:
The first animals are sand cats. Sorry, not for adoption.
The second animals are scimitar horned oryxes. Say that 3 times fast.
oryxes!of course.That’s usually in the NYTimes crossword puzzle.Should’ve known that one.lol
Is the Oryx a goat or antelope?
