Hi Strands fans. This one is rather tricky, but I was fortunate enough to get HUMAN on the board nice and early which made it a bit easier.
That said, I still take issue with the spangram, given a MEERKAT - the second word I got - isn't actually BIPEDAL (they can stand on hind legs, but they don't move on them, which is the dictionary definition).
Still, with that spangram achieved, I knew what I was looking for: animals that can move on two legs. The two 'O's on the right of the board led me to KANGAROO, which cordoned off an area for OSTRICH immediately above it.
Two words were left to find in the bottom section of the board, one in each corner. I got PANGOLIN on the left, which cleared the way to link GIBBON on the right.
