The Answer - It's a Llama!

Andy and Huey got it right. The answer is (c).

This is because when the male monkey is selected, it forbids selecting a female ostrich or a female panther (condition 3). Condition 1 tells us that at least one panther must be selected, or else both ostriches must be selected. But we have eliminated the femal ostrich as per condition 3. So we have to select a panther. The female panther is forbidden by conditions 3, so we know we have to choose the male panther. And, based on condition 2, if we want to select a male panther, we must also select a female Llama., which is answer (c).
