RRAAAAAAAAAARRRGHHH!

Can you work out what animal this is?

Obviously this is important tech stuff which is why I put it here.

It looks mental and would scare the fuck out of me if I saw it irl.

Does it actually make the sound "RRAAAAAAAAAARRRGHHH!" btw?

I would guess probably so. I've never met one personally and so I can't definitely comment on this.

It looks like one of those things from the end of ghostbusters. It is however an actual creature.

Is it some sort of hairless wolf wearing a babygro that's a size too big?

It is not a hairless wolf wearing anything. It is no kind of wolf.

U R Surely Aware what this is

I struggled until I realised that the ruff of hair is pointless unless it covered the entire body. Once I imagined the rest of the fur it all fell into place, so to speak.

Poor Dolores.

Hooray. Puzzler wins a prize. The prize is admin rights to this forum. Sort it out Batters.

Yay.

Empower me, oh Great One.

Over my rotting corpse. What is it, then? I am not clocking a link to The Sun, it might contaminate me.

I gave a clue in my post that included text speak. And if you read the URL to the sun you might have a clue. It's not rocket science.

Here you go. Have a link to the mail instead. That's much better than the sun.

I'm not clicking on the Mail. The last time I did that my head fell off and rolled all the way down the corridoor. I have gathered they are some sort of blad, diseased bear. Shann Marmaladski should be here soon to explain it all sensibly.

I'm positive everyone else will immediately understand the clue in there; but unfortunately I've used up all my detective skills for this week. What relevance has that got to a balding bear??

Ursa - bear, brighty. You dim fuck.

Was that too harsh?

I think you should ban her for not getting it straight away.

Shan't. But if you can tell me where the lights start on M6 south of junction 34, I might make you a moderator.

I don't care enough about the answer to that to even google it.

Harsh!!

Actually, I figured out that the first letters were Ursa, but what the fuck that has to do with bears I have no idea!! Honestly, I'd google, but I think I'd rather google to find where the first lights are on the M6. Why Ursa?? I could understand if it were Elsa and it was a bald tiger/lion/etc. But URSA?? You're both having me on aren't you?

It's the Latin name or the genus or whatever, dimbo. Bears are ursine, like cows are bovine and sheeps are ovine.

And is no-one going to tell me where you get lights on the M6?

On the side of the road, DUR!

And even though I knew about Bovines, I had no idea about the Ursine thing, I'm sure it'll come in handy one day in my life mind.

But WHEN? I know it's dark when you get on at 34, but I can't remember whether it's Lancaster or Preston where you get street lights.

How about googling the location on maps, it may show on the area when you pull the little man down to view it in photo image? I would love to know why you need to know though.
