That's the sexless name for the bird. A peacock is a male and a peahen is a female.

I suppose it's the plumage of the male bird that is really famous, and it's always the male that is pictured, so we get used to seeing peacock all the time.

The male is explicitly mentioned in the clue to give a hint to the species as a whole. It's not asking specifically for the name of the males.

@Zefyrinus it doesn't say just the male though, it merely mentions that the males have "eyes" on their wings. it's asking for the species, peafowl, not the male, peacock. if it was, it would have omitted the "males have" altogether.
Stormswift

Only the peacock (male) of the peafowl have the 'eyes' on the feathers - the Peahen does not. So it's asking specifically about the male as the question does not apply to the Peahen.

Don't know if this is sarcastic, but what the question is referring to is packed ice which is a form of condensed ice found in the arctic where polar bears live. Polar bears are solitary animals except for a mother with her cubs!

Surely a pigeon is a different animal to a dove. 'Similar to a Dove' might be a better clue

In general, the terms "dove" and "pigeon" are used somewhat interchangeably. The family Columbidae consists of hundreds of different species of doves or pigeons.

Nope, they're pretty much interchangeable. The distinction between them is sometimes color (white: dove, not white: pigeon), sometimes size (small: dove, large: pigeon), and sometimes wholly colloquial.

The question doesn't refer to animals that hunt in a pack, rather it means an animal that hunts on the "PACK ICE"... ..... which is the floating sea-ice cover of the polar regions.

yes Malbaby, but it's misleading language when applied to wildlife. the way it's written very much makes it sound like this animal hunts in packs, which it doesn't.

any chance you could ease up on the spelling? i tried "porpus" and "porpous..." just couldn't remember how it was spelled. also that clue about polar bears is a bit misleading... makes it sound like you're suggesting this animal hunts in packs, which it doesn't.

The panther (cougar, mountain lion, painter, etc.) is never black. Melanistic jaguars and leopards are mistakenly called panthers (by Marvel, and others), but there is no such thing as a black panther.
