"Speedy fish with a very sharp bill" could also include "sailfish." And kcd317, all fish eggs are roe, but only sturgeon and paddlefish (Family Acipenseriformes) eggs are caviar.

That is true according to the UN's food and agriculture branch, but roe from steelhead, salmon, trout, and whitefish is often labeled as caviar as well.

Yeah I bought some of those at a Russian deli. The dye ran off when I took it out of the jar: I got what I paid for.

I was told I was found under a cabbage leaf in the garden. Is that where the stork leaves babies?

Sailfish and spearfish should both be accepted for "speedy fish with a very sharp bill."

'Sailfish' should also be an acceptable answer as well as 'Swordfish'. Sailfish can travel at over 100km/h

I tried "skink" for the amphibian one. After looking it up, I realized I was wrong. It's an actual lizard. *sigh*

The Ugly Duckling was a baby swan (hence the "ling", known as a cygnet or swanling.

He had to grow up to realize he was beautiful. So swan is correct rather than cygnet or "swanling"

What is a stag then? Because it is customary for some large male deer to be called a stag......most people do know the term buck, but stag is also another term for an older, larger male deer.

From Wikipedia: The terms shrimp and prawn themselves lack scientific standing. Over the years, the way shrimp and prawn are used has changed, and nowadays the terms are almost interchangeable.
