An orthographically questionable yak: JAC?
Sorry Wendax, it's not up to the Masters section as yet, although I suspect it will be quite soon at this rate  :)

Don't worry, it takes a while to get used to the new AP system, and we are all currently living through stressful times  :)

Is that big animal something mythical like a Dragon, or an actual living creature?

A living creature

the company does not, but its 3-letter code is still around
think of an animal. A big animal
To be clear, the three letter code is currently being used by another (automobile?) company and spells out the name of a large animal?

No

The original brand name of this car translated as a big animal.

As always there's a 3-letter code of the manufacturer, which survives until the present day as the company switched owners many times and now exists under another name.

Does the animal name relate to a bear?

Thank you for the Lock Pal. I'm still struggling with this one (and to find an aquatic name), but was this made by Jiangnan?

Jiangnan is related to a whale. It’s not a Hawk CC6470 is it, associated to Great Wall?
