    While we are waiting for Nines.....

    According to Pliny the Elder, the ancient Greeks thought this animals parents were a camel and a leopard, and so named it a 'camelopard'. What do we call it?

    Halfway there Stan.

    Edit: You are correct in your answer but I was after a more specific, link that you might see every day.

    Bit of a "what number am I thinking of" question - sorry.

    That's probably also true but see my edit above.

    There's a reason I'm not a quiz setter!!!
