It's just two possums and a mammoth, with no indication that they're related. The caption isn't helping either, as without context, it just looks like the mammoth's merely pretending to be a possum or thinking she's one, with no implications that she's adopted.

Yeah, it's hard to find the trope from that pic alone. And this is coming from someone who knows that work.

Therefore, I support a pull.

I'm fine with it. The mammoth is hanging from her tail, she clearly thinks she's a possum. I've not seen the work either.

Health sure is versatile. It's possible to be both light-headed and dim-witted. At the same time, no less.

I can tell that that's a mother duck and her ducklings (and cygnet). Another [tup] for 6.

6 works.

That's plenty of consensus for 6, and it's added to the page, but now it creates an issue as it's almost an exact duplicate of the pic on "The Ugly Duckling". Here's some options to replace the pic on that page: 1, 2

Leaning towards 16.2 for the work pic. The title is less intrusive.

I'm good with 16.2 or 19.

They are all about the same, so I’ll throw in another vote for 16.2 so we can wrap this up.

Looks like the image in the trope page have been changed. I've made the switch in the work page. Do we want to have a further discussion for the caption, or are we done here?
