I was stuck on these too but it doesnt close till December 31st so thought it was a bit soon to ask - fairly new and dont know how people feel as I have seen some bad comments
I can see your point mysterygal but on the other hand people do not need to answer posts on here if they feel it is too soon!!
My view is this is an answer bank so ..... answer away
I think there are 2 ways of spelling this animal 8 and 9 letters
Wikipedia is 9 letters but there is the 8 letter way but of course i could be wrong too!!
;-)
I think you may have the same answer that I had until this afternoon, but then I realised it was an anagram of "main golf" which gives a birdie,
Hope this helps
