I kept wanting it to be a tuna as well, so I was trying "whitetail", which I think my brain amalgamated from several different types of sushi.

That was my answer. "Winkle is a common name applied to numerous different species of small, round, usually edible, snails. These are often species of sea snails..." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Winkle

Why isn't wildebeest spelled with a "beast" at the end? And why do I always think it is? I'm surprised no one has complained about that not being an accepted spelling.

Because it's not really English, it's Afrikaans, which comes from Dutch and there it's "beest". It does mean beast though.

Tried like 30 different ways of spelling wallaby... one l, double b, walla walle (wallu?) walli, wally, bee,be bi,by. Everything apparently but the right combo. Maybe some leniency on spelling?

You should include womp rats. I used to bullseye them in my T-16 back home. They're not much bigger than two meters.
