Answers...
  1. Pigs are in the Suidae – from the same root as the word ‘swine’, Suidae includes pigs, wild boars and warthogs.
  2. Cows are in the Bovidae – hence the word ‘bovine’, an adjective describing anything to do with cows!
  3. Chickens are members of the Phasianidae along with turkeys and pheasants.
  4. Salmon are in the Salmonidae – the clue is in the name!
  5. Turkeys are another sort of Phasianidae.
  6. Tuna are in the Scombridae – a little more obscure, perhaps, unless you know that the Latin word for ‘mackerel’ (similar to tuna fish) is ‘scomber’.
  7. Rainbow trout, similar to salmon, are in the Salmonidae.
  8. Ducks are in the Anatidae, hence why a fear of ducks is called ‘anatidaephobia’.
  9. Crocodiles are members of the Crocodylidae, from the Greek ‘krokodilos’ meaning ‘stone-worm’.
  10. Alligators are in the Alligatoridae. You can tell alligators from crocodiles because of the alligators’ wider snouts. Both species are killed for leather.
  11. Dogs are in the Canidae – they are canines, of course! (Cats, on the other hand, are felines or Felidae.)
