Will Shortz and His Fantastical, Quizzical Creatures

Will Shortz, crossword editor of the New York Times and puzzlemaster on NPR’s “Weekend Edition Sunday,” shares a quiz about a whole menagerie of animals with names that are portmanteaus. For example, if you could cross a chipmunk and a monkey, you might get a chipmunky and a cockatoo crossed with a toucan would be a cockatoocan. What overlapping animal name might you get if you crossed an Australian hopping animal and a male barnyard bird? This is part of a complete episode.
