Tiger, from William Blake's poem, with a bit of poetic licence if you read the poem.

[smouse]

sorry not lemur - loris
because it is nocturnal
its hangs beneath trees and I found somewhere its face desciribed as being incandescent and no matter how hard I think I cant relate tiger tiger burning bright to the clue - lol
I'll come back and eat my words when the answers are out

Sounds good smouse

[ddon]

incandescent = burning bright
nocturnal trees = forests of the night
(maybe just me, but I don't see the problem)

[smouse]

and where is the beneath - still willing to eat humble pie later - lol
Even my son dares to say my loris is wrong but he does like it better than tiger

Surely a tiger in the forest is going to be "beneath the trees": It's hardly going to be in the trees or above the trees ?!

[smouse]

I've seen pictures of them in trees - lol
I love how we are all taking this so seriously and bet you are waiting to gloat when I am very very wrong.
