A). REAL - Golden Tabby Tiger. The wikipedia entry on this extremely rare variation of tiger is interesting, check it out.

B). REAL - Hemiptera. This unidentified, but verified insect, is in the Hemiptera family, probably an aphid larvae of some sort.
C). FAKE - This is the ONLY fake animal in the entire game. And since everyone has gotten so good at playing, I thought I'd be more sneaky than usual (and you know how I like to be sneaky!) This is the first animal in the history of the game that I created from scratch, without using any object to build off of, like I have in the past (i.e. a lamp or a coffe cake ring). The animal itself, which I've named Clayfooticus Fakearoonie, was drawn and painted by me, and then pasted onto a jungle background. Some people were fooled by this little guy, but not everyone. Guess I'll have to try harder next time! :)
D). REAL - Japanese Spider Crab. This is one big crustacean! Check out this cool video for proof that it really exists in nature!

E). REAL - Suri Alpaca. This breed of Alpaca makes up only 5% of the Alpaca species. To learn more about alpacas, go to this site.

F). REAL - Net-Winged Beetle. You can see this guy from a different angle here:

G). REAL - Remorina Albescens (The white sucker fish). This fish loves to hitch rides on manta rays and on the occasional shark. For more info, click here:

I had a lot of fun with the game this week. I'll try not to let so much time go by before I do another! Hope everyone enjoyed playing ~ Your Pal, Lucy
