Animal not native to the jungle, water, or air, and not a dog or cat. Not an animated character, which rules out about 95% of fictional animals. Could be a bear, deer, elk, moose, rodent or goat. Snake? The only K-name snake I know is Kaa from the Jungle Book, which #16 ruled out. I assume “animal” rules out insects. I’ve run into a block and can’t get around it. ---
