I missed what was deleted.

Conflab for those of us guessing: I'm thinking a type of bear. Anyone else want to invest one of our two remaining questions on that?

@AgileGreenSeal Bus RIDES (will it be deleted?)

Don't you describe fit people you fancy as being a total RIDE in Ireland 🇮🇪? Love that

I suppose it is a saying here too- I’m far too old for that carry on. 🤣

I don't think so. Not dangerous.

However, I hope OP knows that all manner of herbivores in cold climes are dangerous; elk, moose etc.

Also, have we established it's not a person. I.e. Santa?

It has fur

MrsTerryPratchett · 24/12/2024 20:35

Good catch @AgileGreenSeal

rosemole · 24/12/2024 20:36

@MrsTerryPratchett hope to god this thing hasn't been caught doing dangerous things to humans

OP posts:
HarpQuartet · 24/12/2024 20:36

Ooh yes, not dangerous. And has fur.

Further conflab: badger?

MrsTerryPratchett · 24/12/2024 20:37

OK summary:

Furry
Mammal (see above)
Not dangerous
Colder climes
Not a sea mammal
Omnivore?
Bigger than a cat
Not a reindeer or polar bear.

Am I missing anything?

Well done!

I saw my first EVER live one last night, that's why I thought of it. Until then had only ever seen road kill 🦡 😢

Good catch @AgileGreenSeal

So to recap it has fur, bigger than a cat, not dangerous to humans, not a fox, seal, otter, polar bear, lives in cold climate, land animal, mammal. What am I missing?

Would someone else like to take the next turn? I'd rather be an occasional guesser than a setter. (Bit of a badger-related "sett" pun there.)

Awwwwww that's lovely OP.

Love a badger.

I thought it was a large rat at first but then saw its cute stripy face before it ran off.
About 2 minutes later saw a barn owl.
Twas a good night for uk wildlife bingo 😍

Ok so is it a vegetable

OP posts:
MrsTerryPratchett · 24/12/2024 20:43

Not a vegetable

HarpQuartet · 24/12/2024 20:43

In my family rules you have to say whether it's animal, mineral or vegetable before our 20 begin... is that acceptable?
