    $\begingroup$ The crossword appears to be hiding ELEPHANT, however this uses MARMOT in the bottom leaving the last two spaces blank, and I have no idea what the min/max clues mean. That would mean either 7a or 7b would be a 3-letter animal staring with E, possibly ELK, EMU, or EWE, but don't know what the clue means. Possible (unlikely) solution for 7b: E ast - W est - E ast, but don't know where that would leave 7a. $\endgroup$ Commented Feb 22, 2017 at 21:49

    $\begingroup$ The way I arrived at the elephant conclusion independently was by lining each word up starting from the first letter and taking the MIN or MAX letter from each index. So for the last row, clues 3a/3b, you put in "SERMOTSE", and so on $\endgroup$ Commented Feb 23, 2017 at 19:04
