Is it a metroid?

 

[Denamic]

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

 

[fhc]

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.

 

[Denamic]

Points to euclids.

Now, name the animal in this picture. :glasses:

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...

 

[Denamic]

It's a cat.
A giant one.

 

[euclids]

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.

 

[Denamic]

Damn you. You're right.

 

[euclids]

My turn then.

Lets look at some marching animals:

 

[Denamic]

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

 

[euclids]

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

Yep - an arctic lemming. Known for their suicidal march.

Well done.

 

[Denamic]

Now, name this one.
I had no clue what it was up until recently myself.

this is the "RED PANDA"

[Denamic]

Doesn't look much like a panda, but yep, you're right.

Now, this one might be a bit easy..
Name this animal.
