Today I will tell you “What That Thing IS” in a rare 2nd post of the day.
No one got it right, sadly, but I was highly entertained by the answers. I’ll pick a name out of a hat for the magnet, though, to be fair as these were unguessable. As we approached each animal Ravi and I would guess what it is, and then I’d go to the plaque and we’d go “HUH?” All of theme are animals from Chinese Mythology and Zodiac.
MOUSE
DOG
RABBIT
We’re as confused as you.

By mouse you mean rat? Chinese zodiac is rat…
I already knew so had to keep ma mouf shushed.
yes, but I have photographic proof that the sign said “mouse”
they usually say rat but I guess these days people are put off by rat so they changed it to mouse? Even for the sheep sign it’s either sheep/goat although to me these 2 are so different.
Can folks who grew up in China identify those animals correctly?
@Zach–Probably depends on how into Anime they are? I wasn’t the only person doing the “look at the sign, look at the thing, now back to the sign, now back to the thing” 🙂
i totally couldn’t identify any accept for the snake
WTF, over?!
I was WAY off.
I thought the mouse totally looked like a squirrel/chipmunk?
And why is the horse missing a tooth?
