I've been trying to make a Whuzzle* of a Camel and Leopard but I keep ending up with just making a goddamn Giraffe. What am I doing wrong? (Whuzzle: Mixedspecies Fabricated)

Marty: [little grin] If you’re trying to make a “whuzzle,” you should probably use something with “whuzz” in the name.

Victor: Marty. . .I would say getting a giraffe out of those animals is a pretty good result anyway! Getting the right mix of traits is very tricky even at the best of times... What exactly is the end result you’re looking for?
