Alright, think of ananimal and you can give clues about the animal and we try to guess what animal is. Whoever guesses it, it is their turn. Be creative but don't make it too hard. Just to be a bit of a challenge. Alright, I will start.
Clues: it is a large animal native to North America. This animal is considered to be endangered. It can weigh up to 2500 lbs and is the largest North American land animal. It has very shagy fur and is often but incorrectly called a adifferent name. It was also nearly hunted to extinction in the late 1800s. This animal is also the only animal other than the bald eagle to appear on American currency. What animal is it?

I don't know about the currency, (maybe a statequarter appeared that shows this animal) but from the rest of the description I would think it to be a Bison or a Buffalo.

Yes, that is correct. THe bison appeared on a couple of nickles and I think but I'm not sure, one of the state quarters. Anybode who knows more about the history of our money please let me know if i am right.

Alright, Malte, it is your turn now.

Deep diver. A fictional white representative of his kind became famous through a novel.

I need just a bit more information than that, please.

I am guessing a whale because the only great white one I know was Moby Dick.

A little preciser please. There are many kinds of whales.

F-14 Ace · **Reply #8 on:** January 06, 2006, 07:31:49 PM

A humpback whale. Either that or a sperm whale.

Usually Moby Dick is depicted as a pot- aka sperm whale. Stitch did the -whale
F-14 the sperm- (no pun intended), so I suggest the first of you to post the next one is welcome to do so.

This animal is a type of horse. It is only found in the United States. It was used by Native American's and was known for its speed. A WWII fighter, the P-51 is named after it.

Mustang.

A mammal that is laying eggs.

You guessed it. And yours is a platipus. I don't know if I spelled that right of not. I hate spelling.

Malte279 · **Reply #13 on:** January 07, 2006, 05:42:39 AM

Platypus it is (funnily the German name would be quite simple "Schnabeltier" which litterally means "beak animal"). Your turn.

F-14 Ace · **Reply #14 on:** January 07, 2006, 08:21:07 PM

Alright, it is mean, has a real bad attitude, is small, and in loony toons cartoons, can spin like a little tornado. What is it?

Stitch · **Reply #15 on:** January 07, 2006, 09:28:21 PM

A Tazmanian Devil

F-14 Ace · **Reply #16 on:** January 07, 2006, 10:26:15 PM

Correct, Stitch. Your turn now.

Stitch · **Reply #17 on:** January 07, 2006, 11:24:13 PM

It is a very fast runner, has retractable claws, and in a disney cartoon series, is always stopped by two chipmunks, two mice, and a fly.

A cat? It is a cat, right?

Stitch · **Reply #19 on:** January 08, 2006, 11:04:05 AM

Yes it is. Your turn.
