That's the largest I could get.

[Pran]

Yes it is! If I am not mistaken, YOU saw them last week.

Err.. The only two 'creatures' that caught my attention were the crocs and those fish eating birds that were crapping all were a tree(what's the name
)

Is it the birds? Crocs can't stand on two feet..

This is getting bizarre! In a way I am glad hunting is banned in India because if this is the level of quarry identification , who knows what will get shot.

I am pretty sure you saw a couple of these but in a different medium. The birds you are refering to were cormorants.

>I am pretty sure you saw a couple of these but in a different medium.

Zoomed in on the new pic, looks like two of them- one on it's hind legs and the other on all fours. Are they langurs? I think I can see the tail on one of them.

[Mack The Knife]

Sorry, they aren't langurs either. I have already given you a hint...the underlined bit.

[Grumpy]

Cormorants - Black, with very short legs.
Flamingoes - Pink, with very long legs.

So pretty similar...........................

So we have an animal standing on its hind legs that looks like a stick insect ..... or a dead tree and another that looks like a goat......or a Giant Schnauzer........
.......and they aren`t Goats or Deer or Antelope.
I`m amazed that you have anything left in India as I thought that most of your wildlife had been poached to extinction. ( )
So what`s left ? Either some sort of wild sheep or some exotic escapees from the local zoo.

[Mack The Knife]

Use the hint, Grumpy. Hehehe...

[Pran]

"the underlined bit."

Water? Remember seeing spot bills.But a spot bill wouldn't be that tall...

Christ on a bike! Do they look remotely like spot billed ducks or even birds for that matter?

I may as well answer the question before you guys embarass yourselves any further or may be not...

Here's a very biiig hint - they can swim, they eat fish, they have whiskers... What are they?

[Grumpy]

The hint:
`In a different medium`

Very helpful.

They aren`t birds apparently so the medium can`t be air - so it has to be water.
........ So what do you have that ( normally ) lives in water and can stand on its back legs ? Very stumpy Otters ? Giant Rats ? Extremely skinny enormous Turtles ? Pale Sea Lions ? Tiny trunkless Elephants ? Athletic Rhinos ? Rare four-legged Catfish ?

[Grumpy]

They bloody well don`t look like Otters.

[Pran]

They bloody well don`t look like Otters.

They are! He kept telling he'd seen otters. Didn't get to see one though..

[Grumpy]

Or should that be :
`Shiva on a scooter`, they bloody well don`t look like Otters` !
