About this challenge

From savanna hunters to blue whales and the honey bee in a garden, each species packs a tight set of class, diet and range. Adult length and habitat split the canopy climber from the ice nomad and the reef giant.

In this DLE, use class, diet, habitat, group, length in centimetres and continent (with partial matches) to pin the secret animal among thirty portrait species.
