First picture looks like a pig? not sure why it's got a pair of legs on it's back though and looks like a hippo from the front or a frog back end looks like a seal?

More photos here, a flat polished base, V Nason or Ronneby maybe.

But Chris, perhaps you should turn it once clockwise and make it lie on its snout and legs. That way it will look like a poor piggy which has fallen over, with its butt in the air. :usd:

That's the weirdest animal - the dog carpet scrub is the closest description I think. :24: :24: :24:
