WHAT! IS! THAT?

Welcome back to everybody’s favorite game show! Last time, just over 6,000 votes and a little over 50% of you guessed correctly, a grey langur. Nice work, viewers! Let’s see how you do this week.



Tic Toc. Tic Toc. BUZZZZZZ! Time’s up.

Let’s get a hint from this week’s special guest: “I like to be awake in the night. It’s such a fun time to hunt! I like to eat meat and don’t really care about anything else. I’m an important animal to some groups of native peoples. I am a great dancer and I love to play all night.”

Have you got it? Scroll down for the answer!


If you guessed a. a ferret, then you were correct! Thank you so much for playing WHAT! IS! THAT? Let’s thank our sponsor, Kimberly T. at the US Fish and Wildlife Service, for their excellent work in increasing wild populations of black footed ferrets.

    Believe it or not, I have never met a ferret. People are always talking about them being smelly. I am intrigued. Is it a bad bad smell or a good bad smell?

  10. Mary (the first) says:

    I guessed right! yay! And I agree, the little toofies are very cute although probably not as much fun as they look if inserted into one’s finger, or somewhere.
