Chester Zoo Game

[Charlie Simmomds]

See I'm seeing two definitions: purify and punish so I'm going to go along the purification route maybe

In addition it can mean persecuted so is this species typically persecuted by man?

 

[Komodo99]

Nope.

Both parts of the clue are just clues to the words in the animal's name - there's nothing in the clue about the animal itself (so it's a two-word name ).

I'll be right back.

 

[Maguari]

I really want to say Pin-striped Damba ... but I can't fit my latter into your former (and I didn't mean that to sound all oo-er)

OH, wait.... Dam Busters!

Is the correct answer!

(I was working from 'pinstripe' not 'pin-striped', though, for word count technicality avoidance!)

I realised after re-awakening this thread that now my email box and "alert" list are going to be cram-filled with notifications about this thread....

 

[Chlidonias]

Is the correct answer!

cool bananas. I thought "natty" and "spiffy" at first, then pin-striped popped out, so Pin-striped Damba was obvious - had to google to see if it was at Chester though! Chastise took a bit longer to come to me (for the other players, Operation Chastise is connected to the Dam Busters in WWII).

Now that's clever

 

[Chlidonias]

okay. This one I think is easy enough.

Feeling sad when it gets no sun.

 

[Charlie Simmomds]

Some sort of reptile

...it does come up (on UK Google at least) on the first page if you Google 'Chastise' - which I figured people would do once I called attention to the capital C..!

 

[Komodo99]

Sun Bear

 

[Chlidonias]

on the fourth page for me! And only as a mention under the Wikipedia link for Castigation.

 

[Chlidonias]

not a reptile.

 

[Chlidonias]

Sun Bear

not a Sun Bear.

 

[Charlie Simmomds]

Sunbittern

 

[Komodo99]

Giant Anteater-not very showy at Chester.

 

[Chlidonias]

not a Sun Bittern or a Giant Anteater.

There's a little bit of word-play involved in this one too. Think of some recent discussion on the Chester news thread.

 

[LaughingDove]

Javan Green Magpie because they go blue due to the sun and blue=sad?

 

[Chlidonias]

Javan Green Magpie because they go blue due to the sun and blue=sad?

that is entirely correct.

And I just realised I said "gets no sun" instead of the opposite! My bad.

 

[LaughingDove]

Not quite sure if this is really easy or really hard but anyway:

Not without controversy but now deceased, many bare his name.

 

[LaughingDove]

Also I should note that a number of answers are correct.
