Chester Zoo Game

Gambian Giant Pouched Rat? (I'm thinking Talons of Weng-Chiang ;) )
 
Hang on...

Mandrill / Mandrel

Gotta be!

and it is indeed the mandrill. Well done sir.

In late 70s/early 80s Dr. Who there were several aliens named after real animals. Apart for the Mandrels, you also had the Krynoids and The Mara. I suppose the Vervoids could be included as well, at a stretch.

The Mara went through my mind, but of course Chester hasn't had Dolichotis in years.

New riddle:


A de-titled singer with half a goose.
 
Based on the 'de-titled singer', is it the black howler monkey? given howler monkeys were formally considered the loudest animals on earth?
 
Banded Mongoose?

the half a goose bit meaning goose is half of mongoose, (syllable wise).
de-titled signer - band-ed.
 
No correct guesses so far!

Pootle's thinking is the closest to the right lines, but not quite the right direction.
 
African White-backed Duck? Because it's a whistling duck which isn't actually called a whistling duck; and it's like a goose.

Or White-faced Whistling Duck? On the same basis as the other guess.
 
A de-titled singer with half a goose.
(I may regret dropping into this thread. This'd better be right, or I'm going to look a proper numpty!) :D

Anyway, I believe there is an alleged singer by the name of Lady Gaga: although I expect her Ladyship's nearest and dearest often drop the title and call her plain old Gaga.

Half a goose? I started with Canada, but ended up in Hawaii with the nene, half of which would be a ne?

Gaga + ne = (sounds like) garganey.

An absolutely perfect correct answer in every regard!

Over to you! :D

Thanks! Blast! I forgot that I had to do the next one! :)

Ok, this'll either be very easy or completely indecipherable...

The lengthy creature imitates Batman, or so we hear!
