It's a bird from south texas. Now just find a mammal that starts with "ca" and ends with "ch" and you're done.

I'm pretty sure there's no mammal that stats with CA and ends with CH. But I'm probably wrong.

There has to be one. It just sounds like there would be. There's also "en" and "ch" for chicken. Or "sh" and "th" for a thrush.
 
Continuity! Thanks!

I read over it quickly no tnoticing the conditions, I didn't see Australia! 😱 <3

EDIT : Incidentally, Canada imported Alpaca's around two decades ago. I don't know if that still counts, though.

And I said isn't an Alpaca from South America?

But they're native to South America, right?

I mean there are Alpacas at the zoo I work at here in Wisconsic, but does that count?

But the point is, NPR is fairly popular, especially amongst teachers. Secondly, the examples used (Pelican/antelope) are the same... Now if theres another set of answers, I'd be mildly surprised... but even then, that set of answers could have been given to NPR, and you'd think this puzzle person would know it if some students are able to answer it. I'm just using logic here... and teachers aren't perfect either. 😛

This is what happens when an idiot realizes just how much of an idiot he really is and fails to come back with any real witty comeback. He breaks down mentally and resorts to foolish 10 year comments and just plain stupidity.

Yeah, I don't doubt that this is the exact riddle the teacher is using (I found it through google in about 2 minutes after I tried first to find a decent list of australian birds). Guess I'm just irritated at the whole problem. 😛
