Name that critter

[brontodocus]

Hurra!

Okay, here's a new one:

I believe it's in fact not as hard as it may seem at first sight.

[Varanus]

Is that the Pink Swimming Sea Cucumber (aka: Headless-chicken-fish ), Enypniastes eximia?

Hehe, yes, congrats! I was even close to give a little hint - that there is already a Kaiyodo figure of it. Is "Headless-chicken-fish" a vernacular name that's been used previously or have you just coined it?

I actually found that name on Wikipedia: "When Oceaneering ROV pilots saw and photographed the creature at 2500m depth they named it “The Headless Chicken Fish.”"  A somewhat apt description I think.

Here's my new animal:

[AnimalToyForum]

Is it some sort of hornbill?

[Takama]

Silver Cheek Hornbill to be Specific?

[Varanus]

Is it some sort of hornbill?

It is.

Silver Cheek Hornbill to be Specific?

It is not.

[Takama]

Yellow-casqued Hornbill?

[Varanus]

Yellow-casqued Hornbill?

Correct!

[Takama]

Ok, My first hint is that it has a cool name

[AnimalToyForum]

A something something snake.  Could you give us another clue? 

[Takama]

Boom

[Varanus]

Boom

Boomslang!!!

[Takama]

Boom

Boomslang!!!

Yes it is, Sorry for late reply 

Your turn

[Varanus]

Oops, sort of dropped the ball on this one.

Okay, here it is:

[RockyMountainRex]

Is it a Red Warbler?

[Takama]

I did an image search, and it appears you could be right. I hope Varanus confirms it as well

[Newt]

Any chance this game could be revived? It looks like fun!

I was just thinking the same thing! Though I'm a few months late! The onus is on us to find suitable tricky animals. I'll try and start us off again (although, in this case, I don't know the exact species either!). Whoever gets it right, picks the next animal. Unless we give up, in which case it is a free for all

[brontodocus]

Brilliant idea to revive this! Let's see how close I can pin it down... it's of course a holothurian, more specifically a worm holothurian (family Synaptidae). I'm not 100% sure about genus and species but my guess would be Synapta maculata, the Spotted Worm Sea Cucumber, also one of the longest holothurians known.
