What Animal Am I?
Here are the first 4 photos in a sequence of 17, depicting the first 120 days of a little animal's life. What animal is it? Later this week I will post the remaining 13 pics, which will reveal the animal's true identity. Before I do that, however, see if you can guess this cute lil guy's true identity!
Have fun! :D

Psst, Scott, don't forget to record your vote. :)

Psst, Scott, don't forget to record your vote. :)
I did ;D

He looks like a baby panda! :D
-
I did ;D
Apologies, Scott. I hadn't voted myself and that's why your vote wasn't appearing to me, 'cause I'd set the results to appear only to those who have voted. ::) I'll reset the format so that everyone can see the results, whether they vote or not. I'd be dangerous if I had a brain!!! ;) :laugh:

Dagi
Could be, Dagi. I'll reveal the correct answer in a couple of days. :D

I'll post the remaining photos later in the week and you'll see if you're right or not, David. :D
(P.S., It's not too late to change your vote.) ;) 8)

We love you just the way you are, regardless of brain activity! ;D
I wanted to guess polar bear, but that's not a choice, so I will say.....koala!

Ah, now, ya see, Shasta, maybe I'm being reeeeeal sneaky and deliberately not listing what the real identity is, meaning you have to tick "Other" and tell me what you think the lil one's true identity is. Polar Bear, for instance haha? ;) :D
-
BTW, those are beautiful photos Kerry! Did you take them yourself?
Susie (http://smileys.smileycentral.com/cat/11/11_1_201.gif)
Alas, I can't claim the credit for taking the photos, Susie. If you think the first 4 are cute, wait till you see the rest! :D Prepare yourself for a major Cute Attack! :laugh:

Im with Scott. I think shes a cute lil devil. However the fact that they put black and white fur
for it to grow on, makes me think it could be a panda..?

As well as pandas, Tasmanian devils also have black and white fur, Janice.
Possible hint from me? Possibly not? ;) ;D
Maybe the black and white fur is just a red herring, electronically added by me, solely intended to confuse/mislead you. ??? :laugh:
Another hint: Closely examine the baby animal only. Try not to be distracted by the medical goings-on in the background. ;) ;) ;) :D
Still not too late to change your vote! 8)

Kerry, since you indicated that people could change their vote, I fixed the poll, so folks could remove their vote and re-vote. Hope that was ok.
-
I changed my vote after careful inspection. It's a badger baby.

Thank you kindly, Scott. Muchly appreciated. :D

It very well may be a little badger baby, Scott. :D (And then again, it may not be :-\ ) ;) :laugh:

Aha! That's very umbilical of you!

Baby Panda! ;D That's my vote and I'm sticking with it ::)
-
I voted Taz but it could be a badger too. :-\
-
I still am voting for a lil devil....

Are you suuuuuuuuure, Dottie? ;) ;) ;) :)
-
I voted Taz but it could be a badger too. :-\
Could be what's known here in Australia as a Heinz breed, Lee - 57 varieties! :laugh:
If not 57 varieties, maybe he's the product of a love match between a Tasmanian devil and a badger. If so, what would that make him? A Bad Taz, perhaps? ??? ::) ;) :laugh:
If you think that may be the case, you should definitely vote "Other"! :D
-
I voted grizzly bear, but I may end up changing my vote!

I will probably be posting the remaining pics this weekend, Dobie, so you have until then to change your vote - or not, haha! ::)

OOOh! The thought of copulation between a Tazmanian Devil and a badger is scary!! :o

I ruled all marsupials off the list because they are born far more premature than this creature is. Masupials look like tiny worms when they are born.
Naturally I ruled out the Kiwi, too. A bird, nice try :laugh: ;)
This leaves Dingo, Fox, Panda, Grizzly and badger.
Looking at the underside of it's front paw in one pic, it's not a Dingo or fox, because this a paw of an animal that walks on his whole foot, not only on it's toes like foxes and Dingos.
It's either a bear or a marten. Bears are born after a short gestation period and therefore relatively premature (measured by mammal standards and by difference of weight+size between newborns and adult exemplars of a species), but this little fella looks pretty strong (stemming up its body on its legs), I'd say it's not a bear. So this leaves the badger.
My vote goes for the badger.

My vote as well. Look at the last picture...not the baby, but the (supposed) parent. The color of the markings.

Not to mention, the one of the baby with it's tummy showing...and the little spot where the...was.

Oh, I didn't notice this at all. At first I thought Kerry had posted another pic ( ::)), but then I realized you're talking of the fur the baby is lying on.
Your're right, it looks like a badger fur. And it makes sense to put a badger fur in an incubator where a handaised badger sleeps in (smell 'n all).
Kerry, you can give up. Scott and I have figured it all out. :laugh:

I voted for wombat simply because I really like wombats! :-*
A-D-O-R-A-B-L-E!!!

Gasp, your powers of deduction are indeed impressive P. :o
Looks like you've let the cat - um, badger - out of the bag!
. . . . . . or maybe not. ::)
Stay tuned for the climactic revelation to come haha! :laugh:

I love wombats too. They're soooo cuddlesome. :)

But do marsupials have umbilical cords at birth?

Yes they have to have someway to get nourishment while they are in the womb!
They are only in the pouch after they are born. Like all mammals, they experience the birth process then climb up into the pouch.

Kerry, how much longer must we wait before we find out what animal he is?
He's a baby panda. I'm positive he's a panda! He's a cute little baby panda. :D

:laugh: Haha! I'm deliberately drawing this out, David, 'cause I'm enjoying the suspense being created! ;) :laugh:
I'm also enjoying all the different responses and theories expressed. :D
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! :D
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! ;) ;) :D ) :laugh:
