egern Explanation: Cross-translating from English to German to Danish. There is a German word - rather oldfashioned - meaning just the same "Eichkätzchen" and that is very plainly what we call "egern" in Danish. Hope that helps! |

peer agreement (net): +1..... Explanation: Jeg har egentligt ikke et direkte oversættelsesforslag, men jeg tror ikke nødvendigvis det er et egern, som Inge forslår. Se nedenstående. "SQUITTENS "Squitten" is a term used to describe supposed cat-squirrel hybrids. It derives from "squirrel kitten" meaning the offspring of a cat which has mated with a squirrel. The term has also been used by a cat owner whose cat nursed and reared an orphan squirrel baby alongside her own kittens. A squitten is described as cat-like with a plumy tail and short front legs with paws resembling hands in which it can hold things. It sits on its haunches like a squirrel and can climb trees, but when on the ground it moves with a bobbing or hopping gait. As geneticist Roy Robinson reminded his readers, cats come in different colours and varieties - you cannot rely on appearance alone to identify a cat as a hybrid."

rød-brunt egern Explanation: I know this is too late, but I think this could be "cat squirrel" which would be "rød-brunt egern" which we don't see in North America. Reference: http://onlinedictionary.datasegment.com/word/Cat%20squirrel/ |
