Across
- 3. a cephalopod mollusc with eight sucker-bearing arms, a soft body, strong beaklike jaws, and no internal shell.
- 5. a crustacean with a broad carapace, stalked eyes, and five pairs of legs, the first pair of which are modified as pincers. Crabs are abundant on many shores, especially in the tropics, where some have become adapted to life on land.
- 7. a fast-flying long-bodied predatory insect with two pairs of large transparent wings which are spread out sideways at rest. The voracious aquatic larvae take up to five years to reach adulthood.
Down
- 1. a domestic fowl kept for its eggs or meat, especially a young one.
- 2. a hoofed grazing or browsing animal, with branched bony antlers that are shed annually and typically borne only by the male.
- 4. a fish-eating aquatic mammal with a streamlined body and feet developed as flippers, returning to land to breed or rest.
- 6. a large, heavy, mammal that walks on the soles of its feet, with thick fur and a very short tail. Bears are related to the dog family but most species are omnivorous.
