<p class="x_MsoNormal">Greetings Mammals people!</p>
<p class="x_MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="x_MsoNormal">I have a couple of skins that defy identification and I’m hoping someone in the community can help? I believe one is a raccoon (albeit extremely faded and sans a tail) and the other one has me stumped. Perhaps baby elephant?</p>
<p class="x_MsoNormal">Any help would be greatly appreciated…Thanks!</p>
