You should accept the name of the order--Reptilia--as well as "reptile", given how the question is phrased.

What about rook for the large crow?

"larger relative" is a bit ambiguous as they're all crows. Rooks are smaller than Carrion Crows but larger than Jackdaws. Maybe "largest member of the crow family" is better?

I tried "Rudolph" three times before I had to accept it wasn't accepted. I think it should be accepted!

From the information at my disposal, I am given to understand that he guides it.

Rudolph only guided it that one time. Other nights he doesn’t guide it. I believe they only laugh and call him names.

Recent information suggests that the laughing and name calling have abated following the successful guiding experience.

I also heard that the other reindeer never let Rudolph join in any "reindeer games". Are there any updates on this development? Has the dis-allowment of Rudolph from "reindeer games" subsided after his successful guiding of the sleigh?

According to recent studies it has actually been found that Rudolph was only recognized for his talents on "one foggy Christmas eve" from this we can infer that Rudolph was only needed for the "one" Christmas eve and may have returned to his position on other foggy nights.

Ravens are a type of crow, so "large crow species" would make more sense than essentially saying a raven is larger than itself.

That's not entirely correct. Technically they are both corvids.

You call tell them apart by the number of their tail 'pinion' feathers. The difference is really just a matter of a pinion.

Rat is incorrect for plague spreading animal. It was the fleas on the rats that spread the plague, not the rats.
+2

Perhaps the wording should include 'vehicle' that spread the plague. Without the rats -the fleas would have been ineffective to a greater degree.

I presume it's the American robin which serves as a harbinger of spring? The European robin is much more associated with Christmas.

my grandmother is named rhea and i didn't know it was a type of bird. She'd be disappointed but sometimes you learn about the people you love most in unexpected ways and sometimes you learn unexpected things....
