Author's Note: Each question is in two parts, the first is in words, the second simply requires you to name the animal in the picture. There will be an overlap of letters with the two answers. You need to smash the answers together to produce a single 'word' without the duplicate letters. The title picture is a llama. The clue is 'Spanish rice dish', which is paella. Smashing paella and llama together gives 'paellama' as the answer, by omitting one set of 'lla', which is common to both words.
