    No, it's an actual flag.

    I honestly have no clue. Do you suppose I could have a hint?

    Sure thing. It has the word "Rock" in the name.

    Yeah I don't know I been scouring the internet, and I'm sure it's is probably really obvious but I have no clue

    This is a very niche one. This would be the flag of Rockall Island - site of a territory dispute between Ireland and the UK.

    What species is this image believed to be of??

    Oh great now I feel dumb. I knew it had to have something to do with Ireland (because of the colors) but I couldn't figure what it was exactly.

    That is obviously an Australian drop bear. I presume the photographer was killed shorty after this picture was taken

    @TeaLovingDave I believe that since you guessed correctly it is now your turn to post a photo for us to guess on

    I want a precise location and species status :p

    Archaeopteryx lithographica; Paleontology Museum (Munich, Germany). I am correct no?

    Indeed :) I visited the museum in question in 2015, and was very pleased to discover the genuine fossil was on-display rather than a mere cast - one of several Archaeopteryx specimens I have now seen.

    The other particularly notable thing on-display in that museum, incidentally, was several portions of the type material for Europasaurus holgeri.

    Oh the mini sauropod that's cool. (Also I'll post a picture for the guessing game later when I have access to a computer)

    This is the holotype material for this species is known from. You don't have to give me location, but please be species specific.
    Hint: This species was named in the last 20 years.
