What Animal Am I? ***ANSWER POSTED***

[David In Indy]

Haha! I'm deliberately drawing this out, David, 'cause I'm enjoying the suspense being created!     

I'm also enjoying all the different responses and theories expressed. 

However, having said that, you know it is impossible for me to refuse you anything, so I will succumb to your entreaties later today and post the final pics, which will reveal all! 

It's Saturday lunchtime in Sydney as I write this and I am awaiting the arrival of a friend. We will be doing lunch in one of the trendy cafes of Newtown, the smart western annex of Sydney's gay precinct, near where I live. He'll come back to my place for high-tea after lunch and I'll post the results after he goes home. That should be in about six hours.

(Pssst, David, the reason I told you all that is to give you the opportunity to change your vote.    Are you suuuuuure you don't want to change your vote, hon?  You've got time!          ) 

Nope! I'm not gonna change it. He's a panda!

Thank you to everyone for participating in my "What Animal Am I?" poll.   

Here are all 17 of the pics, including the 4 already posted, showing the first 120 days of this cute little guy's life.

Brace yourself for a major Cute Attack!

Congratulations to the winners who correctly guessed that the little fluff ball was a baby panda. 

You all win a massive 8-carat heart-shaped diamond each!    Enjoy! 

Just a modest, understated, subtle little thank-you gift from me to you! 

Here are your prizes, presented in the order in which the correct responses were received . . . . . .

And a big thank you to all the other participants, too! I hope you all had fun!

Thank you for the quiz Kerry. It was fun!

So much for my deduction ability 
But at least I was right about the paw  .


Dang, I think this was my only chance for a 8-carat diamond in my life  . Oh well, I just won five free trips around the world in David's quiz, and now I'm sure he'll be able to pay for them, thanks to the diamond he got from you

Told Ya!    WOW Kerry I never had such a big diamond before,  it makes my puny little one carat engagement ring look cheap...Bob's jealous  he wants to know who this Kerry fella is!
