"I am neither proud of what I have done nor of what I am now doing."

Ok - according to Muslim legend - only ten animals have entered Paradise. I'll give you the non-biblical five and see if you can get those five mentioned in the Protestant canon.

Here are the revealed five:

The Cuckoo of Belkis
The Camel of the prophet Saleb
The Ox of Moses
The Dog Kratim of the Seven Sleepers
Muhammad's Ass

Here's a hint:
Two are from Genesis
One is from the wisdom literature
One is from the minor prophets
One is from the historical books

Leviathan! Leviathon! Leviathen! That creature! It's so big! Why not?

Balaam's donkey.

An elephant has to be in there, too.

And surely something of Abraham!
These are terrible guesses. I would have been better off not doing anything...

Balaam's donkey is one. Leviathan is a great guess but not in Paradise apparently.

Noah's dove
Jonah's great fish
and I'll keep thinking about the other two.
