"Faun" is a pretty tough one, due to the similarity to "fawn."

I got that one wrong because Krake/n is a regular German word for the Vampire Squid.

Pink fairy armadillo was tricky. Although the name ironically makes it sound more real.

I guessed on that one, but no one is going to make up a mythical creature with that name. No one.

I took it that no one could have invented such a ridiculous name. (No disrespect to the Quizmaster intended.)

Pangolin is currently at 90% guessed correctly. I wonder if that number would have been as high pre Covid-19?

The next time you listen to Debussy's Prélude à l'après-midi d'un faune, you'll know it's not depicting the playful gamboling of a baby deer.

L'Après-midi d'un Faune is an amazing piece of music. It's like a musical poem without traditional form.

People need to watch "Pan's Labyrinth" - you won't mistake a faun for a fawn after that.
