Anyways, you're up next ;)

oh right, I was looking at green the opposite way (rather than your way, which actually made sense!).

I'm going to bed now though - different time-zone to Europeans - so if @lintworm wants to take my turn he can, given that it was his post which allowed me to get the answer.

Thanks.

I am looking for a winged wolf ;)
 
See I was going to go along with the owls however I'll go for the european vultures to the communal eating they do, which is typical of vulture species.

I'm not sure if this makes sense, but is it Cheetah?

Winged as in very fast, and wolf because it was used for hunting (I think that only makes sense inside my own brain).
 
Really going out on a limb here, but Boelen's python? the connection being the old Slavic deity Simargl, often depicted as a wolf with wings, and the similarity to the python's genus Simalia.
 
No cheetah, no Boelen's python and certainly no GoT reference. The hints are all hidden in different languages...
 
Apparently it is more difficult than I imagined, a hint is that the animal could also be described as a winged jaguar.

I'm still scratching my head. I'll ask a question - you don't have to answer it because you already gave a clue - but is it a species of butterfly?

No it is not, it is a species everybody has heard of for sure. I am thinking most of you should be thinking more literally :p or get your Spanish up-to-date ;)

wolf and jaguar aren't the same in Spanish... (?)
 
I've been up and down that Zootierliste list a hundred times trying to pick out flying wolves and jaguars, thinking mainly about birds. But, I think I have it!

Giant Otter.

The generic name is Pteronura (ptero equals wing). They are called river wolf in Spanish (Lobo del Rio) and river jaguar in Portuguese (Onca d'Agua).

That is completely correct off course.
