oyster

petrel: 2 letters match (0 in the right place)
margay: 3 letters match (0 in the right place)
oyster: 0 letters match (0 in the right place)

There is now only 1 animal (and 1 word) that fits. That last guess tells you a lot. For example, you should now know which 2 letters of the first guess are in the correct animal name. And it rules out 2 of the letters in the second guess. Of course, it still might not be easy since you still have to come up with the correct animal.

I think you got a little lucky by guessing anemone immediately but yeah the answer was abalone your turn

Yes, I was extremely lucky in choosing "anemone" as my first guess. Having something with 4 in the right place definitely made it easier to come up with a likely answer.

This next animal also has 7 letters.
