This is a real mind boggler. Can anyone help/point me in the right direction please for the following - all answers are animals, mostly mammals but also reptiles/amphibians.

22 'Digit' 1965 to 1977
42 Frank Bainimarama

I've 'Googled' like mad but can't find anything to help.

Hi Jan,
Don't know if this is what you want. 1965 - 1977 is the year of the SNAKE in the Chinese calendar.

I've been told Sloth for 22. because it has 12 toes (digits) the number of years indicated. I would never have thought of that myself..
No idea on Frank B...... . I'm not typing his name again. I've googled it so many times.

Have you got 98 ?
Dubai 20 South Africa 16 New Zealand.12
I wondered if it is something to do with Rugby. Possibly Springbok but that dosn't quite fit.
I need about 9 more yet but hopefully getting there slowly.

[valerieb1254]

That sounds logical quizling. Well Done.
Val.

[Janbuck]

Valerieb1254, Thanks for snake - sounds good.

quizling. Thanks too but I've got sloth for n. 52 - a deadly sin. Not got 98 - I too thought of springbok. but not too sure. You've done well if you've only got 9 left - I've got over 20 still to do !

[valerieb1254]

Hi again Jan,
All Googled out on Frank Bainimara. Long shot but only thing I can come up with is his birth sign Taurus BULL.
Good Luck.
Val.

[Janbuck]

Valerieb1254 Thanks again - only thing I go was rat from Ratu but already got that elsewhere. It seems very obscure for a clue. Perhaps it is Bull unless someone comes up with something else?

[smouse]

I had sloth but now cant see it being there twice
Year of snake is only 1965 and 1967 not 65 to 77 but how about adder??
Think I am getting desperate
Also what about lions as in British lions instead of springbok
Anyone got Go off in a french river I am sure that one ought to be easy but if so it isnt to me - lol
also need
london saw cut off a paw
sounds a bit like cleo
one contained three hands, so the story goes!
and others of course

[quizling]

Sorry Janbuck, I've looked and I've put Sloth for 52 as well.
so it's 10 I need now . Thinking again

[rogerr]

42 I have put RAT He is a Ratu==chief.

[annigoni]

22. Clue ..a famous female ethologist's close friend was called "Digit"

[smouse]

brilliant clue thanks a lot
another one done

[tinx]

smouse - sounds a bit like cleo - i have lion -leo sounds like cleo! i am desperate!! this has me stumped as i have lion for another one too - only 32 left to get!!!!

[rogerr]

I've got about 30 left too--thought it was only me!!

[smouse]

I wonder if we are wrong in thinking you wont have the same animal twice. I wanted 'what neck' to be giraffe but have that somewhere else

[burgess3334]

I e-mailed the compiler about the same answer to different question, she advised that no animal is repeated

[smouse]

well thats done me on several

[Janbuck]

anngoni Belated thanks for clue to no 22
