Thank you @BobM @pgn @Cleoriff
Pleased you enjoyed the quiz and well done on your awards.
As to the "Animal Farm" question, this was a "tricky" question and one quizzer did give the answer "horse" when the correct answer is "pig" or "boar".
Thanks for explaining your gif @Cleoriff and the additional bit of info which all adds to WRQ.
