It was backwards, though, wasn't it?

Yes, but in the end, you used a forward word

Maybe that is what was meant....
Perhaps it's time to get out a bestiary and try every entry
But I think that's been thought to death. I'm not convinced it's an animal at all, at least not in the actual picture.

Nicky's already been through that bestiary I think!
I tried political, animation, cartoonist (animal) as he was a cartoonist - in the sense of "he was that rare kind of animal, a cartoonist" .. and rara avis !

That sounds too clever for this riddle.

I'm guessing they think there's a non-human mammal in there somewhere

Right, this is silly. I doubt the solution is very interesting. Good luck Nicky - if it's not a misspelled animal name let me know and perhaps it will pique my interest again.

I tried fishhead because the birds head is the fish and the rest of it is the island but still nothing

Damn, who deleted my post with the answer in? It must have been a moderator!
Since then I've had a blow to the head (as an indirect result of the egg from D11
) and have totally forgotten it!
Back to square one
