    Seems to be a problem today, getting this message even going from the main page to the comp page
    Not Found

    The requested URL /competition/ was not found on this server.
    Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request

    This page mentions seals and dolphins:

    and I know Scotland has otters, so I think avmartin is right that the answer to 7 is Walrus.

    Thanks for the comp. :)
