We are looking for a 7-letter animal name.

giraffe: 3 letters match (0 in the right place)
caribou: 2 letters match (1 in the right place)
cheetah: 2 letters match (0 in the right place)
herring: 4 letters match (0 in the right place)
mallard: 2 letters match (0 in the right place)
kildeer: 1 letter matches (0 in the right place)
shoveler: 1 letter matches (0 in the right place)

This bird skewers fish, a favorite prey, with its long sharp bill. Unlike ducks and other diving birds, its feathers become waterlogged, which helps diving and maneuvering underwater.

Ty, ty Jay, you make me feel quite proud.

This is the first time I've ever played this game - I've never played Mastermind either, and I'd never even heard of Jotto! So... could I please pass my turn to you, or to someone else if you'd prefer not to do another one so soon? I don't feel comfortable enough to do one just yet...

Of course, by joining in the game, I am automatically obliged to follow its rules. If preserving the spirit of the game necessitates me doing one, I will.

There are no obligations here. So I do not mind doing another.

This next animal has 6 letters.
