This is just a little fun game for those of you who would like to participate in it. There is no signing up, no cost, and no rewards. This is just some plain fun I thought would be nice to have for anyone who wants to jump in and participate.
The game I came up with is very simple. I will post a picture of an animal and people will guess what the animal is.
Please keep in mind that I'm looking for the full name of the animal, so if the picture is an elephant, I will not accept the answer “elephant.” I would look for more specific like African Elephant or Asian Elephant. Don't worry though I won't make you give Scientific names
Also, if you know there is more than one name for the animal, please list all the ones you know so the others know and can maybe learn a bit more. One example is this:
Say I get these answers to the picture: Wild Hunting Dog, Hyena, African Painted Dog. The two people are right for the Wild Hunting Dog and African Painted Dog are two names that this animal can be called.
If for some reason it is hard to guess, I will post hints as to what the animal is. It could be location, family, or other hints maybe letters etc.
When someone gets the correct animal name, I will then post some facts about the animal, so everyone can learn a bit about the animals (since I won't see you guys in person at the zoo to tell you lol).
Like I said in the beginning this is just something fun that people can participate in or even just read and learn a little bit of new info about the animal kingdom.
We will start off with something simple
P.S. If you have a specific animal you would like to be guessed at in the future just pm me a message and I will learn a new animal (if I haven't heard of it before) or tell what I know when it is guessed. If you do suggest an animal though, please refrain from answering as to give the others a chance to guess.
I think its a Giant Panda
I love our Forum Village now has a zoo. Great idea Sexi. Fashion Houses, Police Dept, Bar, Newspaper & Zoo
It is indeed a Giant Panda. Red Pandas look like this Lover
P.S. would love to be the one holding the red panda
Sexi, I don't see the red panda, just an animal in front of it
That's my problem, translator just gave me red panda…. grummel grummel grummel…
The Giant Panda is the bigger of the two pandas. Panda actually means “bamboo eater.” Both the Giant Panda and the Red Panda eat quite a bit of bamboo and live in the same general area over near China and some of the surrounding countries. Another thing that both pandas have in common is what is called a “panda thumb.” You can kinda see this in the red panda picture. The Panda thumb is actually not a thumb at all but rather just an extension of their wrist bone. They use the panda thumb to actually help hold the bamboo as they are eating it.
Even though they both have the panda in their name, these two animals are not related at all. The Giant Panda is actually in the Ursus (Bear) family while through much debate they currently have the Red Panda placed in its own family (Family Ailuridae) as the Red Panda is so different from all the animals even though it has several characteristics of other animals.
The baby Giant Pandas actually are not as pretty of a baby as many of the other animals. The babies are actually born without their fur so just the pink skin shows, and they are super tiny as well.
Picture of baby Giant PandaOne way that the Giant Panda is different from the other bears is that the Giant Panda does NOT hibernate.
hehehehe Lover you just knew that the Red Panda was one of my favorite animals
Can count on me to bring the zoo into the village
Ok so the next animal is a bit harder (mainly cause weekends are busier for me and want to draw some others in as much as possible)
I know this animal's name, but not going to post it now because i would like more people to guess it's name, but i'll pm you
Good to have a Zoo here, although i think the Bar looks like one at the moment too with all those furry animals there
The Reeve's Muntjac is native to the China and Taiwan areas but has been introduced into the UK and can be found throughout central England now. There numbers are increasing more and more. They also don't have a certain period for breeding but can do it year round
Our next animal:
