Could be.
But it doesn't have that 'brain' thing going, so it's not that.
I've got it! It's a Kabuto.

NO! this is a real animal. A real life animal of real life.

If you win, I will give the links to information about this animal.

You have 3 days to find the scientific name.

To say the truth, this animal don't have a "popular" name. is a very rare animal. almost extinct. but have some life especimes living in a zoo (aquarium) in Texas, USA.

In 3 days I will post the links to information.

tip#1: The name of this aquarium in Texas is "Fort Worth Zoo"

tip#2: you fond information about this animal in wikipedia

EDITED:
I really not sure if "The Fort Worth Zoo" is really in Texas. I guess, maybe is in Virginia. I don't know: I don't know anything about USA Geographic locations.

Hmmm...

I am going to guess it is Bathynomus giganteus. Never been to Fort Worth Zoo and their pages are lacking greatly of ideas of what living organisms they stock.

Yeah, You really choose a good challenger: I searched in 10 differents sites about felines, Tigers and lions, but, I cannot find any feline like this...

but, I am really sure: this is NOT a Lion or a Tiger...

You need to give some tip...

My first guess would have been a liger - but I thought they would have clearer and more detailed tiger stripes.

No clue if it is not a liger.

I don't know much about rodents, but I'm guessing it's a lemming.
