Mystery Animal Identified?!

Anyone who works with children or once was a child or likes yummy treats is familiar with animal crackers. They are a little sweet, but not too much, and of course it is fun to acknowledge the animal species as you eat them. Camels. Bears. Elephants. Cows. Horses. Goats. All delicious.

However, there's always that one... we call it the Mystery Animal. It is cat-like to be sure - but there are other crackers that are most definitely cats and lions. Plus, it has no tail. Plus, it's front leg is stuck out at an odd angle. What gives? Many people, adults and children alike, have hypothisized an identity for the Mystery Animal.

So today, in a moment of genius, I went to Google Image Search and typed in Animal Cracker. And do you know what came up? This:
It is from the website of Stauffers, a food company that is a major manufacturer of animal crackers. These are the industry standard shapes you can expect in most any animal cracker package. And lo and behold, there it is. Last row. Last animal. Apparently, the Mystery Animal is... a tiger?!

Kind of anti-climactic, yeah?
