Between parties, travel and snow I’m amazed that I remembered to set this Christmas eve mystery object.
I’ve tried to keep this week’s object pretty straightforward, since I may not be able to provide many clues due to shopping and food preparation duties for tomorrow. That said, do you have any idea what this is?
Please don’t hesitate to comment with questions and suggestions – if I get any opportunities to offer guidance I will. Good luck and have a very merry Yuletide!

It’s a toupe for anteaters. They have some odd ideas about where they should have and not have hair.
It’s the tail of an elephant or rhino or something
or instead of to a mammal, it’s bizarre enough to be feathers.
especially the holes left from the ones that fell out look like holes
left by quills
Given the date, I’m guessing the last turkey in the shop at xmas. No idea for the species.
Oh, got it. It’s an overcoat for a Clanger.
I think it could well be the tail of an African elephant.
Is it some sort of whale baleen structure?
Not baleen.. some awesome pics of baleen here: http://distantfin.com/2010/07/08/the-beuaty-of-baleen/
Looks to me like a tail of something though. Elephant, rhino, or hog or some sort?
