My quick guess would be snow and drake as all the others have four legs. Probably completely wrong!!! :oops:

I'd hazard a guess that it's a typo and snow is supposed to be sow, making sow/cow/duck are the females with bull and drake being the odd ones out!?

Thank you very much. I do not have the printed material, it was a handwritten stuff, so it could be a typo!

Great question but yes knowing whether it was sow or snow would help? Is this a question someone jotted on their cuff during a real exam? :wink:

There is a question somewhere, IIRC, to which that is the solution. I think it was in one of SD's books 1 - 4.

Strange but true!
