Who wants to play the Animal Game?

Asked by erichw1504 (26453points) November 10th, 2009

You give a name of an animal where the last letter of the previous animal is the first letter of your animal.

Example: I say Elephant, you say Tiger.

Rules:

1. You cannot make up an animal, for instance: catdog or birdo

2. The animal must exist or have existed (dinosaurs) in our reality, no werewolves, dragons, or bigfoots.

3. If you answer with a relatively unknown animal, please include a URL with a picture or description for validation and the learning experience.

4. No repeats. If there is a lot of answers, then do a Ctr-F and search for what animal you plan on using.

5. All great answer should be rewarded with lurve!

Have fun!

patg7590's avatar

@SpatzieLover didn’t your Nag ever tell you not to hog all the cookies?

SpatzieLover's avatar

@patg7590 She told me not to dog others about being piggish. You are hanging around just to pounce on the “M” aren’t you? ;P Maybe our game should be animal name usage in conversation?

patg7590's avatar

@SpatzieLover absolutely I am. lol
how would the new game work exactly?

El_Cadejo's avatar

@SpatzieLover thats so cheating :P thats just a class of animals that includes starfish and urchins.

El_Cadejo's avatar

ya know i was expecting an M word that ended in a really odd last letter. Not s lol

SpatzieLover's avatar

@uberbatman You’re being a “nag”...and….so was I. I thought @patg7590 would end it with an X or Q

patg7590's avatar

El_Cadejo's avatar

you guys suck at searching above for repeat answers :P

RedPowerLady's avatar

@SpatzieLover but the ermine is so cute!

El_Cadejo's avatar

moose and axolotl were both repeats

El_Cadejo's avatar

wait no, jeff just posted an axolotl pic but not the animal as an answer. Disregard that :P

SpatzieLover's avatar

@RedPowerLady I was talking about that MOLE…I’d love to see an ermine. They used to be prolific around here

RedPowerLady's avatar

@uberbatman well i’ve always seen it spelled axolotl, in fact i think that is the proper spelling, so it’s not my fault people above can’t spell and so the find didn’t work

RedPowerLady's avatar

@SpatzieLover Ya I know! :) It is freaky looking, the mole I mean.

El_Cadejo's avatar

i used to care for an axolotl at the aquarium. very cool creatures :P

@uberbatman I’m sensing an aquatic theme with all of your posts. Hmmm.

Musk ox

ParaParaYukiko's avatar

@Val123 did you Google “animals that start with x” too?

patg7590's avatar

wait a minute, how did you all find out about Google?

erichw1504's avatar

Don’t know about this one though: “Xylophone Cat- A cat that is only by legend but some claim to have seen it.”

Beta_Orionis's avatar

@SpatzieLover mine died last night. :(

erichw1504's avatar

@SpatzieLover Apparently a snake?

Val123's avatar

@ParaParaYukiko Oh, of course not! I’ve known Xnopus all of my life! Some of my best friends are Xnopuses! (of course I goggled!! Is that not allowed?

erichw1504's avatar

@Val123 Why are you wearing goggles?

SpatzieLover's avatar

Snake was said AFTER he said that. I think @Beta_Orionis was saying his Iguana died, but I’d like to clarify that :( If so @Beta_Orionis, I is SOOOOoooooooo sorry to hear that!

I have a desert tortoise and can’t fathom the day

jeffgoldblumsprivatefacilities's avatar

I would just like to say GQ to you @erichw1504. I learned so much about obscure animals today via this question and google. Who says wasting time can’t be educational? Here is one of the favorite things I found today, especially the Tripod fish.

Val123's avatar

@erichw1504 Because I can’t see words like “Google” too good without my goggles!

ccrow's avatar

What’s the last one, snake or tripod fish??
If snake- eft
If Tripod fish- hummingbird

Val123's avatar

I’ll call it! Hummingbird
My answer: Do-do Bird

ccrow's avatar

Ha! I was first…
gnu

Beta_Orionis's avatar

Yes, I (female, for the record) meant that my iguana died. She was so young! I had to leave her with my family in California when I left for college. She’s had been with me since I was six. :(

cyn's avatar

ccrow's avatar

Aww, @Beta_Orionis I’m sorry about your iguana.

@Val123 Why? And do you mean on here or a different question?

Val123's avatar

Like chapter 2, because this one is starting to take a while to load.

erichw1504's avatar

@Val123 But, that’s what makes it awesome. Plus, I can’t ask the same question again.

I do have a different one lined up soon though.

sorry, all of the links I tried were broken

Val123's avatar

@erichw1504 Plus, I just realized, in a new Q, we couldn’t use our search feature. I’m playing a game called the A game on another site. You simply come up with words that start with A. It’s more interesting than I would have originally thought! But I imagine it’ll be a few years before we run out of A words!
