Legion World Forums LEGION COMPANION Spaceopoly I'm thinking of an ANIMAL!

You don't have anything to apologize for, KK!
One, I sorry if my comment came across as more than an observation and jest.
Two, you're so new here and so good at this guessing game, that I don't think you've ever actually asked something silly!

Unlike me. who's just asked someone to tell me why the jellyfish peed on him.
:rolleyes:

Um...I just reread the clues..and I don't see that KK's guess was in violation of previous clues. Somebody wanna spell the joke out for me?

I just realized Candle coulda been poking fun at me, since i asked if it was alligator after it had been stated it does not live in water. Um, I meant one of those special land-gators. They don't live in swamps, they just play football in one...

It does have feathers. It is not a reptile (so no feathered dinosaurs). It is not a snake. (which should be obvious from my answer about reptiles)

Lancesrealm, it could be argued that the question of it living in water would mean an animal that is in the water 24/7. So although alligators, hippos, otters, etc. spend a great deal of time in the water, I would not say that they live in the water.

Is it bigger than a robin?

It is bigger than a robin.


Imagine if it was a robin. I could say that it isn't bigger than a robin and that it isn't smaller than a robin. But seeing as it is bigger than a robin, it can't be a robin.

so is it a flying animal?

Is it native to North America?

It is a flying animal that is not native to North America.

Is it native to Africa?

It is native to Africa.

is it a Vulture?

It is not Adrian Toomes or his namesake animal.

Is it a land-gator?

Nevermind, that's been asked.

Is it an ibis?

Ah! the sacred bird of the Nile. Nope.

Is it an ostrich?

Well, that's good to know.
But even seals come out of the water to sleep if they can and have their babies, something hippos don't do.
Are seals not aquatic?

I consider all of the animals that you mentioned as living in the water.
If they can't live without being in the water, fresh or salt, most of the time, I consider that aquatic.
sigh
Oh, well.


And there are a number of robin sized birds, IIRC.

Are we having a communication issue, Quis?


Is it a goshawk?

does this animal start with a letter from A to N?

Is it a secretary bird?

It is not an ostrich or a goshawk. It's name does not start with a letter A-N. It is a secratary bird. Your turn lancesrealm.


Candlelight, I did say "it could be argued". So, it could also be argued that they live in water. I would argue that while hippos spend most of their time in the water and are adapted to an aquatic life, they are nevertheless land animals as they can survive not being in water for extended periods of time. I think it can get to be a fuzzy gray area. I would think of loggerhead turtles as living in the water even though they do come onto land to lay their eggs. I think I just see most mammals as land animals even if they spend a majority of their time in the water. Whales and dolphins being notable exceptions.

I am sorry if my robin comment confused you. It is rather moot now.

Wow! I am surprised! I looked at a list of African birds (couple thousand) and I picked one. Anyway...

I am thinking of an animal...

(By the way, didja know no one seems to know for certain why it is called a secretary bird? I love this thread!)

But it is a vicious bird.

Does this animal have a cartoon counterpart?

I put a after my comments.

How about if we define animals, including mammals that live solely in the water and are designed for the water (gills, flippers, etc.), as aquatic, as you said, Quis.
And use the term 'marine' for animals who's lives are built primarily in the water.
I'll check, but I think that's the term that wiki uses to separate the two.
Is that okay?

Does this animal communicate vocally?

Like the cuckoo bird, the secretary bird is named for its call, "yertenoclockshere".


Does this animal have teeth?

Quis, I cannot think of any cartoon counterpart. Ever. And if it does have one, I wanna see it.

Candle, I don't know what you mean. It does make a sound. I would not say it communicates vocally, however.

Yes, it does have teeth. Of a sort.
