        Well done! I did not know all the words in this cryptic. A friend of mine really likes plants and animals hence I occasionally make more themed cryptics. Due to the limitations of crossing letters I ended up using words I did not know. Thanks for solving it, and I am unsure what inconvenience you are referring to.

        I particularly enjoyed the zoo in this one! :D

          Very nice - thank goodness for Google! Plant and fish needed research.

            I literally guess the letters in 1D and 3D and was shocked to have gotten them right. 4A was actually a word I'd seen before.

              Ooh nice, good job!

                OK, so I had to cheat (google) because I'd never heard of the plant or fish, but still fun. BTW, I think there's a misleading length--3D should say (7) not (5). Since the grid is there, it doesn't matter much, but just FYI! Thanks for your delightful daily doses of cryptic clues!

                  Thank you! Oh that is a very good catch, will fix it!
