Quail, Weasel, Emu, Racoon, -?-
Choose from:
Yak
Turkey
Bumblebee
Ostrich
Tiger
Eland
Hint
Think of the TYPE of animal...Yes... TYPE is extra emphasized...
Answer
TurkeyThe series alternates between bird and mammal, but at the same time, the animals begin with the letters from the top row of a QWERTY keyboard. Thus "T" is the next letter, and the only bird in the list that begins with a "T" is "Turkey".
Also, "Yak" would be next in the series after Turkey... extra points if you noticed!

Cute teaser! As soon as I read the hint I was like "Ooooh!"
wait..........b isn't on the top row of a QWERTY keyboard.
I don't need extra points for identifying that YAK is next, because I managed to identify that TIGER is just as eligible as TURKEY. In fact I spent more time identifying the eligibility of one over the other.
very nice and easy. keep up the good job
Very Clever!!!
And tiger isn't eligable because It is NOT a bird!!!!! Learn to read!!!! I may not be any good at teasers but I can read that it alternates between bird and mammal!!!!!! And no "b" isnt on the top row...I'm sure that was just to throw you off...sry for being edgy...

Cool, I like this teaser!
HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEYYYYYYYYYYYYYY ostriches are birds!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
if kate is a moron say I.
I.
I.
Loved it! I did'nt get the qwerty thing. The comments on it are even better!!!!
Nice one. it was cool to read a teaser where the hint actually helped. (please, no one take any offense. the hints on my teasers don't help either ) great job!
this ws so easy. finally my first easy teaser keep em' coming
got it ! actually got it ! cool one ! but only after the hint !
Good one! This is the first one I got in a while. I like your sense of humour in the hint!
I got it but not the part abut beginning with a letter from the top row on keyboard. Nice teaser. thanks for posting
I picked up on the keyboard immediatly which made very easy.
Hi,
It's a nice teaser, although there's a catch with the list of options.
The most logical option - when disregarding the hint which tells us about the TYPE etc - is that the list gives us:
a flightless bird
a mammal
a flightless bird
a mammal
with yet another flightless bird in the list of options (the ostrich) available, it's a bit arbitrary on which logic to bet
Perhaps CuteNIS would consider changing ostrich to any kind of other bird that is able to fly?

Quails fly.
NICE, feel like a turkey sammich right now!!
I went with the simple logic of trying to spell a word with the first letter of each animal. To spell "QUERY" I found that the yak would be next. This teaser is a good conversation starter at the very least. Good Job!!
Very clever. I didn't get QWERTY so I just guessed turkey over ostrich and got lucky
I thought it was quite easy, without the hint.
Veeery good! I loved it!
enjoyed this one - thank you !
It was between 'Turkey' and 'Tiger', I just guessed 'Turkey' and I feel good that I got it.
Ok, so an emu is a bird... point taken.

Good one! I got the mammal & bird part, but I didn't get the QWERTY part. I just guessed turkey (partly because it was the 1st bird on the list) and I got it right!
Like peacock, I just guessed turkey, but I knew querty (I didn't even see tiger and didn't get the bird/mammal series. Fun teaser, though. Thanks!
i got the qwerty part and not the bird/mammal part. i didnt even notice tiger was an option until i read the comments so i got lucky
I was close!
Good job!
Good job!
Took me about 5 seconds to notice QWERTY, but it still wasn't instant - I had to take about 60 seconds to notice the taxonomic class alternation . . . I was stumped between tiger & turkey at first.
Well done.
Anyone out there still on other keyboards (IE Dvorak)?

AROB. What more can I say. A special to GiMi
Before the hint, I got the alternating birds and got it down to turkey and ostrich. The hint did not help me get to querty, so I chose the bird more flightless than the turkey! I don't mind that I missed it; it was a good teaser! (Actually, I hadn't considered the turkey barely gets off the ground; I just knew the ostrich and the emu were both flightless.)
What are you thankful for?
Too easy. Hi Gayle and doehead.
there is another animal that has a t it was tiger
How random . . .
I got it, but only because of the animals alternating and the turkey being first on the list. Not too smart, but I was correct anyhow.
Ha!
Ha!
Seeing as the number of letters in the word list alternate between odd and even, the next word is obviously Tiger.
Fun quiz. But I really have to try and solve these after I've had a cup of coffee! Cheers!
OK now, I am trying to think all 'scientific' and straining my brain and you come up with a stupid answer like the QWERTY key board. I guess I better start trying to dumb down now.
I got to turkey by finding that Turkey was the only bird that began with a left hand key.The next animal could then be either tiger or eland.
That was a really great teaser, I had a lot of fun!
I didn't get the keyboard connection. I got the bird and mammals connection and picked turkey. This was a really good teaser and I enjoyed trying to figure it out.
I tried to spell QUERY at first
Fun, easy and entertaining teaser; I got it very quickly.
