Types of Animals.

[Georgiesmum]

12. This animal seems to suggest how one naturist might greet another. (7)
Ive seen this answered as"bearhug" which fits the clue but surely this isnt an animal, is it?
Many thanks for any help.x

12 Bearhug ?

[mazie]

Sorry, I thought it had to have animal in the answer, not be a specific animal.

It sounds right - bear sounds like bare (naturist) - what does the competition say?

[Georgiesmum]

All the other answers are types of animals.

[Georgiesmum]

and i have already got grizzly bear for another answer,

[Fibonacci]

buff (naked) + alo (sounds hello) - buffalo ?

That's clever Fibonacci. I'm not doing the quiz but because I am nosy I often have a look to see what others are doing.

Thank you all very much, especially Fibonacci.x
