Hi Strands fans. A nice and easy one if you were a child of the 90s like me.
"In the circle of life" can only refer to Disney's The Lion King - and that meant I found the spangram of LIONKING right away.
After briefly looking for character names, I got WARTHOG in the top-left corner and realized this was actually about species.
ZEBRA was in the bottom-left corner, followed by MEERKAT in the bottom right. HORNBILL - as in "Kings don't need advice from little hornbills for a start" - was above it.
I had two gaps to fill. The one in the bottom half was HYENA, and the top one was, of course, ELEPHANT.
