By the looks of the Roo's head it has been crossbread with an Atlantic Salmon.

I actually like it. It successfully replicates what it's meant to represent, what early settlers drew when they first saw something they'd never encountered before.

One of my favourite in the series to date. I hope they do the rat/roo/dog/cat thing from an early settlement drawing I saw a few years ago. But you do need to keep in mind that they are based on early sightings.
