Julia, who is our very youngest solution-sender sent in this piece of work:

Great!

David, from Histon Junior School, found two ways for the answer to be 2 creatures:

 a spider and an elephant two beetles

He also found two ways for the answer to be 4 creatures:

 two kangaroos, an elephant and a duck three kangaroos and a turtle

David also thought that twelve flamingos hopping would give an answer of twelve creatures:

Well done all of you.
