An elephant with three short legs is labeled Lona. And some small round rodent with a thick tail (maybe a porcupine without its quills) is labeled Bat.

Here's the prompt I gave ChatGPT4: "Please generate a set of mammals on a plain white background, each mammal species clearly labeled."

However, ChatGPT4 is a text-generating model, so it doesn't have the
