it's a good one, I only know because i was going to use it myself.

Come on guys, if it's not a llama or an alpaca there really is only one option left.

No what could it be from fota?

steddyeddy · 09-10-2011 09:31PM

I assume from your "only one left option" that its a camelid of some species?

Sid_Justice · 09-10-2011 09:36PM

Are you trolling me? I'm finished with this thread. You're making absolutely no effort. It's obviously a Camelid. If you looked up Fota's website you'd see it within moments. Then you sit back and ask stupid questions. If you knew your Camelids (or if you didn't all you had to do was look on the wikipedia page) you'd see a list of them, the camels, the llama, the alpaca, guanaco and vicuana.

Nevermind.

Sid, I think it's best that you do leave this thread. The attitude emanating from your corner is less than desirable in what is otherwise a very fun and entertaining topic. If you want to discuss this further then PM me.

on-topic - as a zoology graduate myself I'm finding some of these skulls alarmingly difficult to ID, kudos on such a great mindboggler!!

steddyeddy · 10-10-2011 07:56PM

Right then Ill get the ball rolling again with another one. Its not to hard but Ill admit its a bit of a trick one!

Looks a lot like a human but is not... maybe a baby chimpanzee or orangutan?

Got it adam well done its baby chimpanzee! It looks a lot like a human though which leads some researchers to put forward the hypothesis that we are a neotonus species! Ie at some point we hung on to our juvenile features!

Ps: your turn!

Adam Khor · 10-10-2011 08:47PM

That's actually an interesting theory... o-o

Would explain why we are so wimpy compared to them, too XD

Let's see, what is this?

Right the scale helps. Dorsally flattened head and what looks like poorly develped eyes. Im going to have to think about that one. Is it some sort of amphibian or burrowing animal? Dont worry If you dont want to give hints Ill keep trying.

A Caecilian? I wouldnt have a clue as to the species!

FrankAmazing · 10-10-2011 10:05PM

Yes, both are correct. Hmm now I don´t know who has priority- steddyeddy for saying "caecilian" first, or Frank for giving species name?

FrankAmazing · 10-10-2011 11:14PM

I'll go, seeing as I won.

Rules state you must be specific and name the species.

My image is attached.

Best of luck gents, you'll need it. There's a new sheriff in town,holsters loaded and ready to fire, and I won't be suffering any fools like the rest of you. Enjoy, now play away!!!!!!!!!!!
