A wombat that's drank too much!!!

seriously -
The Numbat (Myrmecobius fasciatus) is a small marsupial endemic to western Australia. The Numbat is the sole member of the genus Myrmecobius and the family Myrmecobiidae, one of the three families that make up the order Dasyuromorphia, the generalised marsupial carnivores.
Also known as a banded ant-eater.

<i>Vulpes vulpes</i> - the red fox.

I assume scientific names are allowed here as they were when we were doing plants (if not, you can have a vole instead).

That's a bit obscure for people like me who have no interest in such rubbish. :(

OK, we might have hit a bit of a snag with the Simpson one. I think in this situation we have a few choices, either

A. We come back to the simpsons at a later date when other things have been exhausted.
B. We forget the Simpsons altogether and start a new topic.
C. We wizz through the Simpson's names at lightning speed until we get to Zebadiah Springfield.

If we decide C then there is a Simpson's thread from many years ago lurking around somewhere in the ish local that can be used for reference.

Up to you folks.
