That's... going to be difficult.

So it took a minute, but I came up with the Yellow Mongoose! All the animals I found fell under the letter Y because they were yellow something-or-other, so that's what we are going with.

[pleistocene-pride]

The pancake tortoise is a species of flat-shelled tortoise in the family Testudinidae which is native to the African nations of Tanzania, Kenya, Zimbabwe, and Zambia where it tends to inhabit scrublands, woodlands, and grasslands with prominent hills and rocky outcrops up to 6,000ft (1800m) in elevation. They are a social species which live in colonies clustered around a chosen rock face or series of caverns and crevices where they rest during the night and the heat of the day emerging during the morning, afternoon, and evening to search for water and food such as fruits, grasses, leaves, and other vegetation. Pancake tortoises are preyed upon by mongooses, wild dogs, honey badgers, and birds of prey. These tortoises are fast and agile climbers and its flat surprisingly flexible shell allows the pancake tortoise to crawl into narrow rock crevices to avoid potential predators. Reaching around 5 to 7 inches in length and around a pound (.45kg) in weight, the Pancake tortoise is one of the oddest and most interesting chelonians. As previously mentioned they have an unusually thin, flat, and flexible shell with a highly ossified lump at the rear. The carapace is brown with a variable pattern of radiating dark lines on each scute which helps to camouflage the tortoise. The plastron is pale yellow with dark brown seams and light yellow rays, and the head, limbs and tail are yellow-brown. The breeding season occurs throughout January and February during which time males will compete for females. The nesting season occurs during july and august during which time a mother lay eggs of about 2 inches in length, in a nest cavity she has built in loose sandy soil. She will lay one egg, and then after 4 - 8 weeks she may lay another one, and then perhaps another. After a 4 to 6 month incubation the young hatch. Under ideal conditions a pancake tortoise may live upwards of 35 years.

I understand you guys are anti-American. But I don't understand why you're anti rights and freedom. The enemy of your enemy is not always your friend. Sometimes the enemy of your enemy is also your enemy. Especially when you live on the same soil.

i like the idea of a mongoose as an anti tea party animal
