If you can dry the dishes with it , it must be a Tee't'owl. Nice catch

A scruffy one...

From the thumbnail I thought it must have been the Maltese Falcon ... but it can't be. I don't see Humphrey Bogart anywhere. Great picture nonetheless. V

I have no idea but I'll take Dubi's word for it. Or maybe you can ask him. I see he has a bluetooth connection on his leg. What a gorgeous creature.
