baldcoot?

[emkay0145]

thanks for suggestions - I agree with dabchick - but definitely not baldcoot as the answer has to be a mammal - possibly an anagram of waterfowl??

[Calibax]

It can't be an anagram of waterfowl if it's 8 letters

[emkay0145]

Apologies - clue 1 answer should be a mammal with 9 letters not 8 - so yes possibly an anagram of waterfowl

[Calibax]

Coot fits the clue for follically challenged waterfowl (bald as a coot)
Could it be Bandicoot (don't know where the bandi comes from though)

[emkay0145]

My first thought was baldicoot however quiz compiler definitely says answer is a 9 letter mammal - suppose that could be an error of course.
All the quiz answers are either mammals, birds or fish with m,b, or f attached to each question.Thanks for your input.

Never heard of a baldicoot. Bandicoot surely.

[emkay0145]

if you google baldicoot you will see it is a variant for the common coot

Thanks emkay.
