Now It’s Time For Everybody’s Favorite Gameshow: WHAT! IS! THAT?

The choices are A. baby hairy hippo, B. premature capybara, or C. tiny rescued squirrel.

Tic-toc.  Tic-toc.  BUZZZZZZZ  Time’s up!

Let’s ask our WHAT! IS! THAT? guest for a hint.

“My mama says when I grow up I will chitter and climb and have lots of nuts.”

That’s right, it’s a tiny rescued squirrel! Better luck next time when we play WHAT! IS! THAT?


Thanks sender inner, Mandie W.

      Ohhh–(smacks self in head)–now I see it. I thought those were its ears, and the eyes were two darkish spots still submerged beneath the fur. Anybody else see it this way, or am I crazy? victoreia, care to weigh in?

  6. PJ says:

    To paraphrase Jefferson Airplane, your eyes look like ears, Baby Squirrel! Which is pretty darn cute.

    He looks faintly disapproving. Maybe all creatures with five heads look faintly disapproving.

      Hooray! A fellow Victor Borge fan! (But shouldn’t it be “fivehead,” as in one word? After all, forehead is, you know.)

    Sweeeet baby face. Two weeks old, I’d say. Nuthin’ better’n’ a baby squirrel for the ultimate kyooooot-ness!!

  16. Skul says:

    I think that’s a Squippobara.
