Can You Guess?

Since I have nothing better to do at the moment, guess the animal!

I`m thinking an armidillo. Sorry about the spelling.

Hmm...maybe its a baby echidna.

 

[ezy33]

Is it a boy?

 

[ezy33]

Platypus?

Anteater.

BTW, what's the prize? LOL.

Hmmm, knowing James, it's going to be something off the wall! Looking at the back feet, it looks like some sort of sloth, but the webbed front feet are throwing me off?

Ok, this isn't entirely fair seeing I'm an Aussie and a zoologist, but I'm guessing a baby echidna (the monotreme, not the moray eel). And I see I'm not the first one to guess it.

Yup, looked it up and it looks like an echidna.

I'd have said that its an ant-eater of some sort, purely based on the size/shape of the snout. I wouldn't profess to know which species but it does look like an echidna going off the photo link bs6749 posted.

I also wouldn't be brave enough to correct a zoologist

Ardvark was my guess!

The reason that I thought anteater was also because of the snout and I saw a tongue sticking out, but then I looked up an adult pic of an anteater and saw that they have decent sized ears, which the baby seemed to lack. Everyone else said echidna so a quick google of "baby echidna pics" pulled up the one that looks JUST like the one posted.

My guess would be an anteater as well.

 

[Innovator]

Yes, a "vanilla" echidna
