1. OK I have another answer then if its an animal.
I will guess at Bison (sounds like cockney for basin).

Cockney - Something you wash your fison

T.S. Eliot. Skimbleshanks the Railway Cat.

There's a funny little basin
You're supposed to was your face in
And a crank to shut the window if you sneeze

[Wharton]

Thank you Tilly :-)

Reminds me of: the difference between a buffalo and a bison. You can't wash your hands in a buffalo.
