Animals A-Z quiz
Below are clues to the name of an animal which starts with the letter shown. How many can you identify? Most of the clues have only one possible answer but otherwise you have to get the name I was thinking of. Some easy, others less so (some due to the letter). No use of reference material or the internet of course to ensure fair play. Good luck.
REMEMBER - NO POSTS instead you PM me with your guesses any time up to midnight tonight. If possible, please wait until you've completed all the guesses you want to make to avoid too many PMs and to make my job easier. So no hurry and it doesn't matter when you submit the answers because I'll be judging them solely on who has the most correct - and in the event of two or more being level it will be a tie. I hope this is clear and good luck. Tomorrow I’ll post the names of the top entries.
