Guess the Animal #1
Can you guess the identity of this animal, which I photographed at the Sacramento Zoo? Clue: It is famously mentioned in one of the commentaries on the Mishnah. (Note: It is not a sheitel.)

Orangutang?
Sloth? OK, that's my last guess. : )
Orangutan, would be by first guest especially with the Mishna hint.
Orangutang? Can't think of anything else with that color of coat.
BTW, my daughter met you a few weeks ago, in Israel, and she very much enjoyed listening to you.
Aww. I thought it was Cousin Itt of the Addams Family.
Cousin It?
Here in Iowa, we have the Great Ape Trust primate center and you can always identify the guys in the ghillie suits.
Could someone please explain the mishnah context?
Kilaim 8:5, "Adnei Hasadeh"
No no no, I still go for the sheitel.
Cousin It had white hair so I think it's not related to the Adams family at all. Is it an orangutang?
