Correct answer, afraidtoshooteddie. Switzerland is the country which uses the name Helvetia on its postage stamps.
My next question - What is the function of the swordfish's bill?

I accept your answer, afraidtoshooteddie.
The swordfish uses its bill to injure its prey as it swims by.

afraidtoshooteddie had nothing to ask, wicky. If so, he should have posted one.
My next question - Which team won the Spanish Primera Liga back in 2006? |

Alright,
How many living lion subspecies today?
P. l. persica, known as the Asiatic- or South Asian, Persian or Indian lion, was once widespread from Turkey, across the Middle East, to Pakistan, India and even Bangladesh. However, large prides and daylight activity made it easier to poach than tigers or leopards; now around 300 exist in and near the Gir Forest of India.[19]
P. l. leo, known as the Barbary lion, is extinct in the wild due to excessive hunting, although captive individuals may still exist. This was the largest of the lion subspecies, at 3–3.5m approx., and weighing over 150 kilograms and more. They ranged from Morocco to Egypt. The last wild Barbary lion was killed in Morocco in 1922.[20]
P. l. senegalensis, known as the West African lion, is found in Western Africa, from Senegal to Nigeria.
P. l. azandica, known as the North East Congo lion, is found in the Northeastern parts of the Congo.
P. l. nubica, known as the East African- or Massai lion, is found in East Africa, from Ethiopia and Kenya to Tanzania and Mozambique.
P. l. bleyenberghi, known as the Southwest African- or Katanga lion. It is found in southwestern Africa, Zimbabwe, Angola, Katanga (Zaire).
P. l. krugeri, known as the Southeast African- or Transvaal lion, is found in the Transvaal region of South eastern Africa, including Kruger National Park. |

rockin_plumber,
Your answer is correct but the first one is nonsense. There are about 7 lion subspecies that live today.
Where's your question, Ben?
