If I start just with seafood-type-animals, I can come up with oysters, clams, mussels, shrimp, lobster, crab, squid, octopus, alligator- and then there's so many different types of fish which are technically different animals... I have a hard time believing anyone could be below 10 or so. :-D

I wondered about that too. I'm a little picky about what I eat, so I just counted "fish" as one thing. I eat tuna and on rare occasions even salmon, but nothing else in the seafood line. I don't eat sheep or goats, but cows and pigs are OK. The only bird I eat is turkey, and I don't really care much for that. What am I up to now? Four?
