The Foxer

Last week's 'museum mysteries' foxer was as tough as Elefant hide. Roman is still trying to work out how anyone – even the accomplished AFKAMC – could Sherlock that stall recovery chute and smidgen of Bristol Sycamore.

Below is a list of ’25 things you might find on, in or under a mountain’ (‘things’ and ‘might’ are used here in their broadest possible senses). For purposes of obfuscation, the ‘things’ have been stripped of vowels and had any inter-word spaces repositioned. For example, if snow leopard was present, it might appear as...

SNWL PRD

Yeti would be...

YT

The last five entries in the list – those marked with asterisks – are especially fiendish. Not only are they vowel-less, they have also been anagrammed.
