I thought it looked like a wombat as the picture emerged.

where does it itch?

I thought this was Punxatawny (SP) Phil looking for his shadow! Have a great day everyone.

7:09 Maen one mistake

rats! my method did not work very well at the beginning and cost me lots of time even though this was a very easy tough.

Debby/MI: I agree. I couldn't tell the difference between the wombat and a groundhog....Feb 2 is 'Phil's' day. I wonder if that is just a north US thing? haven't figured out how it would apply here in the deep south

It is easy tough today but tough picture.

Yahoo! Finally someone heard my plea and posted a wombat picture. Thank you, whoever you are! They're the cutest creatures. (Dare I now ask for a duck-billed platypus? Or a meerkat?)
A sunny day here, great for getting outdoors and enjoying the season. Cheers, all.

Over an hour for this easy one. Seems I'm getting worse, not better at solving these.

just watched an animal planet show today called growing up marsupial (sp?) There is a nifty place where they raise the orphans.

Nice puzzle.
