Ok.............Thanks Kenny! Probably an easy one but here goes.
Jarvis Cocker got into trouble some years back for mooning at Michael Jackson at a very prestigious music awards ceremony, but who was the famous lawyer who got him off the hook?

PS. I would still go with Basking shark as they eat zooplankton and small fish which are animals

Badgerland do agree with me.
"the badger is classed as a carnivore"

Their words not mine from the badgerland website.

Although the badger is classed as a carnivore (it has large canine teeth), it is essentially omnivorous

Let's be totally clear. It's classed as a carnivore because "it has large canine teeth"

Canine = relating to or resembling a dog or dogs. Which are also omnivorous (mostly) ;)

I'll help you look for the emoji :lol2:

Looks like we are going to have a word fight, bit pointless as we know QM is always right even when there may be few facts to substantiate that claim.

Ooh - I love an argument, especially when both sides are probably right...

Carnivore means an animal that feeds on other animals, or a mammal of the order Carnivora.

More stuff from Badgerland....

The Scientific name for a "British" badger is Meles meles (in the Melinae Sub-Family, part of the Mustelidae family - all members of a group of animals called the Carnivora). Although this would suggest that the badger is a carnivore, it is actually an omnivore (meaning that it eats both meat and plants).

Animals are given scientific names so that experts can put different species into related groups. For example:
  • Animals are classed as Mammals (part of the Mammalia class).​
  • Within this, animals are divided into Carnivores (part of the Carnivora order of animals).​
  • Within the Carnivores, animals are sub-divided again, into Mustelids (part of the Mustelidae Sub-family).​
  • Once again the Mustelids are divided into the main Badgers Sub-family of Melinae.​
  • The different species of true badger are then included within this Melinae Sub-family. One such species is the "British" (or Eurasian) badger, called Meles meles according to its latin Genus.​

Cherrie Blair?

However, as my father has had the benefit of her lawyer skills I doubt she has actually won any cases!
