Is the animal related in some way to the post office?
Is it Smokey Bear?
Buffalo?
YES! Zip code 20252 is exclusively Smokey Bear’s. At one time Smokey Bear at the Washington Zoo got more mail than the president. He was given his own zip code by the postal service and still has it today despite being dead and buried in New Mexico. Write Smokey Bear today! He and the president are the only ones with their own unique 5-digit zip codes.
Thanks for playing all. Now if someone could explain why Smokey Bear carries a shovel…?
I assume for burying the remnants of a campfire, so that an unnoticed ember that’s still burning won’t cause a new fire that might spread? I mean, that’s what he would tell you to do.
Note: I will be posting a new lateral thinking puzzle later today. I will also create a new thread since this one is getting older now.
Look for it today! This was fun.
