Katherine and I are not in agreement as to what animal this is on John's new pajamas. We need your help. Please submit your vote by way of comment to this post.
K., your post beat me by a minute. I was trying to decide which species of zebra. I vote for a stylized mountain zebra since stripes do not meet under belly. Muzzle and mane definitely make it a zebra, albeit with too few stripes.
when I first saw the PJs in a different picture, from afar I thought they were old-fashioned Tiggers ala Winnie the Pooh. When I zoomed in, I thought, "oh, zebras. Not tigger". sorry Chris, giraffes have longer necks.
I also think Chris is right, and I was wrong with my first comment. This certainly isnt a zebra. Katherine is wrong this time.... like I am sure she often is.
As the host of Mutual of Omaha's Wild Kingdom, I spent my life's work among the animals of the safari.
I can say definitively that I have never seen any zebra that looks like the figure drawn on your sons' pajamas.
I also know your husband Chris to be a man of incredible intelligence... and I am sure what ever he thinks this creature is that he is probably correct.
In my expert opinion, Chris is right and you are wrong… so there!
Agree with Chris that this creature is a new, previously undesignated, species of the Genus Giraffa family: Janeane Elaine Grampa Neil Marlin Perkins Dr. Theodore Witherspoon
Agree with Katherine that this creture is a zebra: Mahmoud Ahmadinejad Shelly
Vote totals: 5 for Chris 2 for Katherine (including a very suspicious entry from the President of Iran, ... but I will give it to her)
Speaking of zebra POOP, I smell something around here! Did anybody check the identification of some of these later voters or were they brought in on buses by somebody (Chris!) with ill intent?!?
Hey...I don't remember making a second post here changing my vote!!! I think someone stole my identity. Someone's up to no good. And is Marlin Perkins even alive anymore???
I believe some major voter fraud has been committed, as I, Elaine, do not remember going back and changing my vote. I demand a thorough investigation and am willing to take this to the highest courts. I am certain there were no hanging chads on my assertion that this is, indeed, a zebra.
Thank you all for your concern... after some thorough investigation it seems in fact that there is enough evidence to nullify the suspicious vote cast by Mahmoud Ahmadinejad.
A giraffe? Hardly! Please, may I direct the audience to this photo of a zebra:

Note the short, spiky mane. Note the stripes. Note the somewhat stubby tail.
Compare that to a giraffe!

The critters on John's pajamas do not have spots, nor those little "horns" on the head.
I may have left law school early, but I REST MY CASE. :D

I was gonna vote for Nessie the Loch Ness Monster.

As a former zoo employee (who actually shoveled zebra and giraffe poo), I have no doubts that this is a zebra!!!!!!!!

ReplyDeletesorry Chris, giraffes have longer necks.
No kilt. :D
ReplyDelete... on second thought I think Chris is right this could be a giraffe or maybe even Nessie.
ReplyDeleteThat husband of yours sure is smart.
I also think Chris is right, and I was wrong with my first comment. This certainly isnt a zebra. Katherine is wrong this time.... like I am sure she often is.
ReplyDeleteRepresenting all of the people of the State of California we all vote for Chris who is always right!
ReplyDeleteYeahhh Chris!

ReplyDeleteI have one word for you Chris:
ReplyDeleteOhio!
Thank you all for your concern... after some thorough investigation it seems in fact that there is enough evidence to nullify the suspicious vote cast by Mahmoud Ahmadinejad.
ReplyDeleteOur apologies for this unfortunate episode.
It could be a giraffe if one used their imagination! Since I am Chris' mom I hate to go against my son.
