    So, I was thinking this may be a fun thread. I'll put up a photo of an animal's skull and whoever identifies it correctly gets to post the next photo and so on, what say you?

    Here it goes:

    Don't want to be a constant sour puss on this forum but perhaps some ground rules?

    Try and supply a scale, and a clue whether the animal is extinct or not. Actually, may not really be needed.

    I think stoneil's is a Australopithecus afarensis skull but i'm only guessing (google searching hominid skulls).

    please wait until your guesses are confirmed before posting a new picture


  • Administrators, Computer Games Moderators, Sports Moderators Posts: 32,731 Admin ✭✭✭✭✭Mickeroo


    aaaargh it's chaos :D You're only meant to post a pic if you guessed the previous one correctly!!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 620 ✭✭✭aidoh


    please wait until your guesses are confirmed before posting a new picture

    Fair enough.
    I was wrong anyway. Post deleted.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 27,565 ✭✭✭✭steddyeddy


    I would have guessed paranthropus, maybe a smaller variety than boisei. Possibly Homo georgicus. Is it an extinct animal?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,279 ✭✭✭Adam Khor


    People, this is wrong XDD Let's follow the rules ok?

    You only get to post a picture when you're the one who has correctly guessed the last picture AND the one who posted the pic has confirmed it.
    Otherwise it'll be a MADHOUSE! :D

    I am also completely correct in my guess.

    You are indeed. Will we continue then or will we wait for the poster to confirm?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,720 ✭✭✭Sid_Justice
