Would it be wrong to have the turtle in that spot? And replace where turtle is now with tortoise. More importantly there's another missing spot, no slime, no legs, and 1 house. What goes there?
Move snake to no slime, no legs, one house, and replace it with legless lizards. People do keep snakes as pets but I've never heard the same for legless lizards
Edit: Apparently I misread the meaning of house in this graph
I don't know, some turtles could be quite slimy. At the corner where it says turtle it should probably say tortoise, and at the "what goes here" corner you can put something like a softshell turtle.
They have zero, actually. No arms, either. They’re molluscs like clams and snails and the tentacles are actually a single modified apendage we call their foot. So, by that, they’ve actually got not enough legs and eight “toes”.
That's a problem with the choice of axis scale, not the response. Octopus is the correct answer, because it is at or near the extreme of all three axes.

Clam? Maybe if we are generous with the "no slime" definition.

Clams have a "foot" that they use to move around with sometimes.

Turtle isn't slimy
potoo22@programming.dev · 16 pts · 1y
I'd put the slime as "probably". Their shells can get coated in slime, but not always and they don't generate it.

Frog should be slime=probably
Turtle should be slime=maybe
And tortoise would be slime=no
