I can't get this to play the meta game in an org-mode buffer
#+begin_src emacs-lisp
(defun print-elements-of-list (list)
"Print each element of LIST on a line of its own."
(while list
(print (car list))
(setq list (cdr list))))

I'm getting an error from evaluating the last block:
Wrong type argument: sequencep, 10.
I'm fairly sure that alist by this point is not actually an elisp list. But
what does animal_list() contain then? It's the output of my
print-elements-of-list function. Is there a way to "look under the hood" at
what a named block animal_list() contains?
