2) The clue seems poorly worded -
The prototype photofinish camera - based on the notion of photographing moving objects through a slit onto a continuous strip of film - was first used to decide placings in the Grand Metropolitan Handicap at Epsom on 22 April 1947: the winner Star Song was a length to the good, but the judge needed to consult the photo before deciding that Parhelion was second, a head in front of Salubrious.
In the 1948 season a photograph was called upon to decide the outcome of horse races on 119 occasions, and the same year photofinish technology was used for the first time in the Olympic Games, held in London.
The following year a photo was first called upon to decide the outcome of a Classic race in England when Nimbus beat Abernant a short head in the 1949 Two Thousand Guineas at Newmarket. Later the same season it was first used to determine the outcome of the Derby, when the Judge called for the evidence of the camera before announcing Nimbus the winner by a head from Amour Drake, with Swallow Tail another head away in third.

7) another poorly worded question .....
no fish has a beak ....
the parrot fish got its name from the large front teeth that
make it look like it has a parrot's beak.
The mouth is deformed to produce the beak-like appearance

I know that, but perhaps the person who compiled the questions doesn't, and therefore I think that's probably going to be the right answer.

5) this is probably a poor answer :-)
if you consider insects to be 'animals', then the answer is the mosquito ...
another possible answer is 'rats' over time have been indirectly rsponsible for the death of many humans(bubonic plague etc) - rats do not kill 'directly', but through the diseases that they carry .....
neither of the above answers 'fit' the word in the question 'predator' ...... possibly Snakes therefore who kill more than bears, big cats, crocodiles etc
BUT if you consider Humans to be animals! .... then (with a war or two around) Humans are the most predatory!!!!!!!!
