The Curious Case of the Cryptic Cookie Cutters*

The other day, I bought a selection of cookie cutters – and found myself confronted by a perplexing mystery. I can not tell what shape several of these enigmatic cutters want to lend my cookies.

All seems to be in order with these unpuzzling shapes:



The top one in this second pic is slightly more challenging, but after some thought, I take it to be a Nikolaus bearing a sack filled with presents, as Nikoläuse are wont to do. The lower one is more troubling, but it might be a sleigh. Possibly. I am open to other suggestions.



But as for these last two dubious specimens…



For the top one, my best bet would be an aardvark, or alternately - and perhaps more probably - an ankylosaurus who's lost his or her tail to a tyrannosaurus attack. (On reflection, this really does seem like the most likely option.)

The lower one, however… uhm. It's a shrew? Whose tail was tragically stepped on by a brontosaurus portly Nikolaus...? Uhm?

Help, Obi-Wan Friendslist! You're my only hope! What do you think?

Maybe the bottom is Jesus Christ in utero?
