Yeah, yeah, I'm going to bed now that way when I wake up, I can hit the stack of English corrections before whining about my unemployment running out in two weeks. Lord forbid, I actually have to look for full time work, or beg the editor at the Times to throw a few photo assignments my way. I'm getting pretty sick of instant ramen. Until my return enjoy this poll.

I voted "walrus." Those things are huge!

 

Oh, and it's "chupacabra," not "chupacobra," unless its victims are now snakes instead of goats.  :grin

 

No idea what a "sehlat" is.

I figured platypus was a natural choice. I chose Delta Burke instead (there are some interesting parallels, I think, between her career and the nose on that E5…both started out so promising.)

It came up both ways when I did a google spell check. Not like it's a word I use in daily conversation. :P

 

Don should know what a "sehlat" is

 

BTW: For those of ya who don't know Delta Burke, think a cross between an octopus and a manatee wrapped around a buffet, but larger.

I only know what a sehlat was because I had to look it up! :P

 

Even though you added platypus, which seems dead-on to me, I'm sticking with Delta Burke, because I think that's funnier :D

Sorry,

I don't know all the animals in the list but I think E5 is much similar to Borneo Nasica apes

like the old Mercedes SLK with F1 nose

I don't like to much E5, for me the right nickname can be "supposta"

in italian, I don't know the right term in english (google don't translate  :grin  I need translation please)

 

ciao

I would have voted for the meerkat, I just like meerkats. BTW, I'm surprised no other Aussies pointed it out, but it's wallaby with a 'y'.

 

If anything though I think it should be a Japanese animal with a Japanese sounding name.
