17 Creatures
Find 17 creatures in this paragraph.
Kneel in the kayak grasping the boat, but don't wrench the bullion or scowl at the chart. Behind the taped and sealed planter is a benevolent collier. The foxglove is in the bath.
HintIn fact, there are 20. Can you find them all?

Answer
Eel, yak, asp, boa, wren, bull, cow, ape, seal, ant, vole, collie, fox, bat, ox, lion, owl (plus char, hart and hind for three bonus points, but these are more difficult. Char is a fish, related to trout and/or salmon and the hart is a kind of deer, while the hind is either a fish or a deer, depending on your usage.)

| Excellent, I liked that one.  I got 14 but missed Asp, Vole & Hart. I got Char surprisingly enough, ordered it for dinner at a little restaurant in Singapore last month. Otherwise I wouldn't have known. |

| Very fun. I got hard and hind but somehow missed bat; I was semi-convinced that "theb" was a strange name for something since I'd already come across it three times   |

| I can tell that a lot of thought went into the making of this teaser. I didn't get any of the bonus ones as I never heard of them and every time I went back over the sentences I would find another one. Really good teaser, I enjoyed working on this one. Thanks for posting.  |

| Great one, only missed vole (never heard of it). Nice that you separated the other odd ones out and explained what they were. |

| I know I am going to get slammed for this, but here goes. Doehead has a point. This is not a"thinking" teaser. It is just one of can you find the animals? If you wonder if I did, yes, I did. It wasn't hard. I even know wome of the odder ones because I do crossword puzzles. But did I have to think to figure this out? No. So, if you want to challenge me to do a puzzle because I dare to criticize one, go ahead. |

| Doehead: It's fun to act like a child sometimes & have a little fun.
We all have a child ego state within & it wouldn't hurt at all for all of us to act silly & laugh once in a while |

| I really liked this one. Decoding challenges the brain to see the same letters in a different way. It is an excellent way to stimulate brain activity. Do more |

| I'm sorry, but I have to disagree that this is not a "thinking" problem. Our brains read by looking at the first and last letters of a word and filling in the gaps. It is good brain exercise to slow down and actually look at all the letters in between. It's unfortunate for those of you that you don't find this type of puzzle fun, but that doesn't mean it isn't fun -- or even a bit of a challenge for others, and it certainly is no reflection on anyone's intellect. I'm just grateful that there are those out there willing to think up brain teasers for me to waste part of my day solving! |

| Found: ox, eel, yak, cow, owl, wren, boa, rasp, asp, hart, lion, bull, hind, ape, seal, ant, collie, fox, char, bat, vole.
Looks like rasp is my fishy extra bonus one. I think it's a type of fish that lives by cleaning parasites off of other things. Nice life! |

| What abrain and mamaalemma said - this challenges us to see beyond our normal perceptions. Maybe not the hardest teaser in the world, but not the easiest either, at least not for everyone, and fun too. I got all but char, and I don't think there is a creature called a rasp - that's a carpentry tool, yes? |

| Apologies, mamalemma, for misspelling your name. |
