Animals in pounds (6)
I believe the answer is:
ounces
This might be a double definition.
'animals' is the first definition.
(I've seen this before)
'pounds' is the second definition.
The definition and answer can be both quantities as well as being plural nouns.
Perhaps they are linked in a way I don't understand?
'in' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for ounces that I've seen before include "There are 12 in a pound" , "Small weights in UNESCO" , "less than a pound?" , "Imperial weights" , "Imperial measures of weight" .)
