Is it because you deliberately misspelled it or because the rest of the animals were from the AMericas?
It's because the answer has to do with the fact that it's misspelt.
the vampiress, welcome to A2k and happy pecking!
Tsk Tsk Tsk...... Look what you started Craven.....

BTW do you remember what riddle stumped Blaine? I've been trying to remember what the book said.
tesomram doesn't fit, since all the others spelled backwards are animals
marmoset ("tesomram" backwards)
n. Any of various small clawed monkeys of the genera Callithrix and Cebuella, found in tropical forests of the Americas and having soft dense fur, tufted ears, and long tails.
-American Heritage Dictionary
(Craven's answer was yenkom)
mokney
n. Any of various small scaly bithroes of the genus Cosattinix; found in derfunctual forests on planet tau Ceti II....
-- Equus' Confounding Lexicon

These kind of "find the odd word out" riddles never made sense to me, as you could always come up with trivial ways to make any of the words the odd word out. For example, the answer is "gip" because it's the only set of letters in the list that contains the letter "p"...
No one said there was but one answer that is correct, so now you get to share in the 1.8 million dollar prize. The major problem is finding out where you collect and hoping a major part of the other 1.8 million winners don't show
