Wildlife Spotting (The Poliwags Cabin)

[toxapex]

YOOOOO

EGG HUNT EGG HUNT EGG HUNT!!!!!

 

[Corrie]

Holy! The first one was solved so quickly! Great job! @deana !

 

[Princess Mipha]

Oh wow. I wasn't even awake yet and @deana already found the answer

Hi Poliwags! The second animal is lurking the grounds. Good luck searching around!

 

[~Kilza~]

hmm, this is looking trickier than the 1st clue. But let's remember something. All 3 cabins before us have figured out their 3 clues for birdwatching/wildlife spotting. This is very much doable even if the clue is overwhelming at first glance. It doesn't matter if it takes us 5 minutes, 5 hours or 5 days, we will get this figured out. So stay calm and relax, we will figure this out together. I believe in our ability to get this solved!

It feels like this is another clue, so something we need to search for on the forums.

The regular bearer appears irregularly, eh? Perhaps it could be referencing one of the threads in the forums, particularly "Quick, before the mods come!"? The moderators do appear there from time to time to break the streak.

i have a hunch that the link will be in the shape of a bear... unless that's a red herring. in which case we're looking for a fish

 

[amemome]

bearer -> bear -> Mick related maybe?

 

[Croconaw]

It’s definitely in a thread! I’m not good with these riddles, haha.

 

[deana]

I was thinking bearer might be related to Zipper in some way as he's the one who usually presents the clues for Easter egg hunts and he does appear irregularly?

Google’s definitions of bearer if it helps


1. a person or thing that carries or holds something

2. a person who presents a cheque or other order to pay money

Nah, it has to be a fox or bear. The OP says so:

Leave your train of thought, directions, tips, and anything else you can think of to help your team find the hidden animals (may be a bear or fox)!

I do like Shellzilla's line of thinking here. Another possible thing is that "the regular bearer becomes irregular" is basically the whole clue, and "bearer" itself may be a play on "member". So it could be a bear in a member's profile, potentially.

Also, just since it was a bit quiet to begin, I'll mention that everybody shouldn't be afraid to post their thoughts. Doesn't matter how dumb you think it may be, any bit can help as it provides a different perspective to seeing this.

Thinking outside the box. I hope we aren’t looking too much into it. In retrospect it’s probably real simple.

"If you know where to look" makes me think of either watching a thread or using the search function, or something along those lines.

I also did a quick peruse of the bear-drawing thread in the Campgrounds, but I didn't see anything there.

My first thought was to check the bear-drawing thread in the campgrounds, which featured a drawing by a mod, Mick, who also seems to be the last person to have broken the streak on the "Quick, before the mods come!" thread Shellzilla mentioned, but looking through their profile didn't turn up anything (as far as I could tell).

I had the same idea! I checked out the OP for halloweaster (since that's a pretty irregular zipper appearance) but didnt find anything

Regular bearer(of something) appears irregularly... Dang it, I don't even know if I'm overthinking it. These types of riddles make my brain go boom, especially if the solution is very simple. I'm trying to look around some threads, but yet to find anything

Also didn't see anything when searching for posts from that account. My first thought for "regular bearer" was "one who often draws bears," but I'm unsure about that assumption now.

I checked his art thread as well. No sign of anything.

My first thought as well. And I searched to see if there is a member with a bear name or in its profile.
