With Sami and others, here is my less controversial mural for this week.
A kookaburra on the right but what is on the left? A camel? A llama? An alpaca?

Cool mural! I cannot the many animals in the family Camelidae apart. :P A couple of gals I know once had a silly, running "argument" about whether they had seen a llama or an alpaca. lol Best wishes!
ReplyDeleteDarla, yes llama or alpaca is rather fraught.
DeleteThat could be a camel, there are plenty of them in Australia's outback. Thanks for participating in Monday Murals Andrew.
ReplyDeleteIt could be camel, Sami. No one seems to sure.
DeleteLarge mural. I think it's a camel but what do I know?
ReplyDeleteFun60, we've all seen a camel, but none of us are sure.
Deleteor an emu?
ReplyDeleteThanks for making it more complicated, Roentare.
DeleteWhere is the mural? I would like to have a look.
ReplyDeleteStreet sign Richardson Street. North Carlton near the corner of Lygon Street, I think Hels.
DeleteHels, the photo includes a street name and a business name. Should be easy for you to find.
ReplyDeleteAndrew, to continue my controversy streak, I doubt the bird on the right is a kookaburra. Beak shape is wrong, for a start. However, I'm not bold enough to suggest a positive ID for any other bird.
I agree the beak shape is wrong for a kookaburra, body shape and colour not quite right either.
DeleteMC, I think it is a kingfisher. Do we have them here? I think so.
DeleteRiver, with its blue wings, I assumed kookaburra but I had a feeling I was wrong and thought with a beak like that, it is a kingfisher.
DeleteI think this is a llama! Neat mural, Andrew.
ReplyDeleteLinda, such diverse opinions on the animal.
DeleteLooks like a camel, the hump doubling as a hilltop.
ReplyDeleteNice try Kirk, but no.
DeleteLooks like an alpaca to me. It's nice enough, I like that shade of blue along the lower edge.
ReplyDeleteRiver, I guess we will never know what the creature is.
DeleteThat's quite an intricate mural!
ReplyDeleteThere is a lot in it Pradeep, but the bird and animal stand out.
DeleteBertiebo commented, I actually don't care whether it's a camel or not. I think the mural is beautiful.
ReplyDeleteThanks Bertiobo. We are overthinking the mural.
That mural genuinely has artistic merit as it blends natural imagery with street art abstraction. As an amateur camelidologist, I can confirm without doubt that the creature to the left is indeed a camel. There are more wild camels in Australia than anywhere else on Earth. Have you ridden on one of them?
ReplyDeleteI am shocked to learn that you are a camelidologist, but it takes all kinds in this world. I think I once rode a camel at a fair or somewhere like that when i was young. Don't ask about two humps or one.
DeleteIt's a nice mural and it looks like an Alpaca on the left.
ReplyDeleteMargaret, I think alpaca might rule the suggestions.
DeleteI'd say it's a camel. I could also be wrong!
ReplyDeleteAnother for camel.
DeleteLooks like a camel ....
ReplyDeleteI think camel is now leading ahead of llama.
DeleteI can't tell if it is glad to see me, or ready to spit,
ReplyDeleteTP, probably the latter.
DeleteI thought camel but reaaly don't know, Andrew.
ReplyDeleteNot quite consensus Pat, but we will bow to the numbers and say camel.
