The one that contains animals doesn't accept "animal" as an answer?

.....and it is not "hard" at all.

Nice, thanks. I liked the hidden animals. I'd change giant/cowboy to giants/cowboys so they are red herrings for the sports team row. I now guessed that group based only on the fact that they were all in plural. Which is good for me, since I don't know squat about sports (don't even know which sport these teams play), but too easy for a grid.

(btw ignore Pat. All he ever does is complain.)

Thanks, where there's a 'will' there's a way!
I liked the animals too

Nice varied grid.
