    No. You all are getting there!

    Try to think about the hint less literally, and try to make connections that I've given you with the hint and the species.

    I think this is the right answer, Mine telling some alternate names since this isn't the name I use for the species if its correct.

    We have a winner!!!
    Spectacular job Tetzoo Quizzer!!!!

    You can post your picture whenever you like.
    I didn't really think mine was too hard, as it narrowed down in a specific group of animals pretty quickly, especially when I added hints.
