Extra Credit Questions

I have no idea of the sneezing capabilities of big animals, but I'm thinking that a caged animal on deck would have to be heavy in order to stop sliding around, but also small enough to be caged. Cows and horses and bears, oh my, might be too large? The only other that I can think of would be a hippo -- short, squat, but also mighty. Was the ship and the animal headed for a zoo somewhere?
