Animals that Start with S

a baby delivering bird is stalk and technically caviar is any fish's eggs

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.

Octopuses? Seriously? Need I point out the error here?

The plural of 'octopus' is 'octopuses'

The pluralisation that would be consistent with the words Greek roots would be Octopodes, not Octopedes.

The Oxford English Dictionary lists "octopi" as an acceptable plural.

So that's where babies come from. I've often wondered.

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

Lots of aquatic creatures, I noticed.

Yes at one point I needed 2 more and was somehow convinced it needed to be marine/aquatic however you say it animals. I tried seasnail and seaslug....

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

One more vote for sailfish. It's the only one I thought of.

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

A stag is NOT a male deer!

Yes it is duh

That smells like the male deer, you mean.

Read the clue "small fish species where males get 'pregnant'" and knew exactly which fish it was (I was picturing it) but could not think of the word "seahorse"

Or english isn't their mother tongue. If you only know the basics of English, sheepherding isn't a subject that tends to come up often.

Sometimes it seems/feels like at least 50% or people don't realise that other countries and language exist in the world. (And that people from other places like quizzes too.)

Never heard of Pepe Le Pew. Should have guessed though.

Penelope Pussycat was a cat, not a skunk.

I thought salmon have salmon-colored flesh. :)

Anyone who hasn't seen a video of a male seahorse ejecting it's babies into the water should look it up. It's pretty wild.

Female pig can also be a swine

But "swine" doesn't specifically mean female pig.

I need defintely need a rest! I didn't get the stork because when I read the description I thought of a bird who gives birth to its babies (instead of laying eggs).

A splatypus

Well... yes and no. Seals can mean any type of pinniped, which covers three families: walruses, eared seals (sea lions and fur seals) and earless seals (also known as true seals.) You can limit the term "seals" to mean just the earless seals, but that would cut off a bunch of species of fur seals that are also commonly called "seals." And including fur seals but not sea lions doesn't make much sense, because they're much more closely related to each other than either are to earless seals.

Got Springbok

...yes they do? "Slither" is defined by Cambridge as "to move easily and quickly across a surface while twisting or curving." Merriam-Webster specifically defines it as "to slip or slide like a snake."
