Quizz creator wasn't asking about the eggs, but the name of the fish that spawned the eggs known as caviar.

"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.

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

There is no error here. The plural of Octopus (in English) is Octopuses. If you want a non-English response, yes, it's Octopedes - because it comes from Greek. But, I bet you're one of those hypercorrectors who say Octopi as though the word comes from Latin. Either way, you're wrong and the Quizmaster is correct.

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

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.

Maybe you are thinking 'stag night' -that's not a male deer, that's a gathering that resembles and sounds like the stag that is the 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.
