Oh the outline is not actually part of the vector, it only shows when you select all the elements.
watched a few videos on youtube about this, worked at it, then refined file size down to 19.8 kb after trimming one node at a time and playing with the arrows to cover the gaps.

Looks good for a first!
For comparison, the top is mine, bottom yours.

yep, its obvious how much detail i lost reducing file size in this pic. the top one for me was 63.1 kb in size, without the black added in for eyes and the bear's nose, so definitely higher by a few kbs, and my circles got wobbly.
Still, fun figuring out what the terms are called and working through it.
