Do you guys see this video on Youtube?


I'm not so good at guessing animals by calls IRL. But maybe some of you could recognise it.

After some research, my final guess is, like Ravenous said, the Magpie Goose. Ravenous already shared a pic of it so I won’t bother. The feather plumage matches some of the goose, and the new clue video has very goose like sounds. They’re found in Northern Australia, so it’s most likely going to be Piccabeen Bay they’ll be hiding in.

I believe Ravenousfox is right. The goose is that of the photo. I found the original sound.

Nice picture! This looks much like the first teaser image. By the second teaser sound, It sounds like a flock, do this goose on the picture like gather in flocks? :)

Yep, they can flock up in the thousands, and flocking is common except during the mating season.

To retrieve the geese that has fallen into the water, the carry-over crocodile is used

So ladies and Gents!

There were a total of 29,053 Silver egg$ harvested. Which means Wetland has guessed the correct answer with 28,950 and a difference of only 103 points!

Well done everyone! There were about 5 guesses total that were very close, I will see if I can drum up another competition in tomorrows Status Update!

*P.s some interesting guesses coming in regarding the new animal! ;)
