Ouch! That looks wicked!
The only reason I get this is because I can eliminate the other three. Oh well.

Whenever it's a choice in a question about weird animals, the platypus is a likely bet.

The Platypus
by Oliver Herford
MY child, the Duck-billed Plat-y-pus
A sad ex-am-ple sets for us:
From him we learn how In-de-ci-sion
Of char-ac-ter pro-vokes De-ri-sion.
This vac-il-lat-ing Thing, you see,
Could not de-cide which he would be,
Fish, Flesh, or Fowl, and chose all three.
The sci-en-tists were sore-ly vexed
To clas-si-fy him; so per-plexed
Their brains that they, with Rage at bay,
Called him a hor-rid name one day,—
A name that baf-fles, frights, and shocks us,—
Or-ni-tho-rhyn-chus Par-a-dox-us.

I thought a BB had this question before; I was close. The contestant before Cori Gorbett (remember her?), Tyler Mathers, had this question and missed also:
