Are you thinking of a Kangaroo in Denmark eating an Orange?

If not, you're among the 2% of the population whose minds are different
enough to think of something else. 98% of people will answer with
kangaroos in Denmark when given this exercise. Freaky, huh?

Sadly, I am among the 98%, sucks to be me

myself, theMAC and mupflap, 3 peas, 1 pod.

the trick is this: any one numeral multiplied by nine results in a two-digit number, and those two digits always add to make 9.
63, 6+3
27, 2+7
so that makes the only possible letter with which to start the country part "d". it's all a matter of how many countries and animals you can name after that.
denmark
djibouti
dominican republic
denmark is both european and easiest to type out, for spelling and length.
animals that start with k?
kangaroo
koala
...kangaroo rat?

i saw the trickiness right away, because i used the adding to 9 trick back in times-table days. i'm sure most of you guys know this anyway.
