They started dropping hints about the Mammal of the Year 2024 (Hungary does this every year). People can try to guess what it is.
So far we know it's a nocturnal predator that hides in bushes and rocks, mostly eats fresh meat, and has retractable claws. Also it occurs in most of Europe and Africa.
I have my guess, what's yours?

Lynx or another small feline. :)
Lilysea
Lynx
Dr. Zalka Csenge Virág
That was mine too but we had lynx a few years ago
Sam Arman
wolverine?
Dr. Zalka Csenge Virág
I don't think we have those here
Dr. Zalka Csenge Virág
I was considering that, not sure about the claws
SkollGrimmson [He/Him]
Beside the bigger cats like lynx ... maybe just the european wildcat?
SkollGrimmson [He/Him]
ah scratch that, it's europe and africa. Damn That's difficult.
Dr. Zalka Csenge Virág
yeah that tripped me up too, I'd still say wild cat
SkollGrimmson [He/Him]
but isn't there a difference in their build as normally for evolutionary fit?

But yes, i would totally go with a Feline species
Dr. Zalka Csenge Virág
yes I think it's different species of wildcats so... the hint might have been misleading.

I was going to say Homo Sapiens until I got to the claws part.
Virginicus
A small creature of that description, sitting in the kitchen, expresses satisfaction that she is finally getting the recognition she deserves.
Alligator
Is there a reptile that fits that description?
Dr. Zalka Csenge Virág
