Well there was no fooling any of you this time, with Koala getting 46 guesses, and no other contenders really rising to the top. This dude is also the origin for the dropbears I know some of your have discovered throughout this event.
Don't forget to comment your guesses for Day 5!

Hello, every morning your my first video I watch...it is so fun...like having a surprise gift each morning! I have no idea for tomorrow. After reading g others comments it seems people tend between à snake or a frog?!!! Can't wait!!! But I am not fast ( and there is " life" that needs to happen too.... So nI continue, into my own beat!!@
Tomorrow I will post my photos of wombat and of octopussy on Intafra

[pinkiepiesammy]

My guess is a frog!!!! I don’t have a specific species though! I can just imagine a miniature version of your frog pattern there’s a big one and possibly a small one

🎶Koalas in the rain.... koala koala.... no f**ks given .... koala koala 🎶 Ever watch True Facts by ZeFrank?? Great channel. His koala song gets stuck in my head often. I hope there is a camel in one of those boxes 😉 Australia has some of the coolest animals in the world. So many 'weirdos' to choose from. I was leaning towards some kind of insect or arachnid, but then I got annoyed and looked up the answer 😅 I won't tell anyone though 🤫

Love the little koala🐨. My guess for day 6 is a frog 🐸

[kikiapotato]

its soo tiny and cute!! My guess for tomorrow is a frog.

[rookadoodle]

This is so cute! I like how he'll be able to cling to whatever you want him to.

My guess... A spider? Although on that front I might be underestimating. The only one I need to know about is the Huntsman to nope out of a long visit over there hahaha!

[georginacambridge]

The Koala is adorable. I'm a UK follower, and I am clueless.

[bangtansunicorn]

I love the koala design!! Its so adorable<3

[maddieswaterbottle]

I love this pattern so much!! It's so tiny and has minimal sewing, which is definitely a plus! My guess for tomorrow is maybe a frog? I'm not sure, though. Can't wait!

[jenk]

I love this series! My guess for tomorrow's crochet would be a snake ~
Greetings from Jen in Sweden!

[Thebestfroggy]

[missapippin]

It’s a frog 🐸 🐸 But what kind of frog will it be? Lol

[abrilmartinez]

I guess the next it's a frog!! Today's pattern was so fun and quick to make, waiting for tomorrow :)

[Kayla-vxbm]

I think tomorrow's animal is going to be a frog of some sort

[danaechavez]

I have no idea what it could be for tomorrow 🤯 unless it's some kind of frog 🤔😆

[sandrataylor]

My koala isn't fat enough xD not enough stuffing. but still super cute <3 I might have to buy the group of patterns for kicks.
My guess for tomorrow is... Frog. Australia has over 240 species of frogs, and most of them can't be found anywhere else =x so. Frog. I don't know what frog, but frog.

[flushedphoenix]

My guess for tomorrow is some kind of lizard but I have no idea which one
