Answer 1

Like zvone pointed out, string are compared alphabetically and therefor Zebra is not printed.

The alphabetic order in this case would be.

X
Y
Z
Za
Zebra

Answer 2

Animals that come alphabetically between “M” and “Z”.
“Zebra” comes after “Z” when sorted in python.

Answer 3

from a to z ordering is like that in alpha characters:

["a","aa","aaa" … "ab","aba","abaa" … "b"… "z", "za", "zaa" …
"zebra" … "zzzzz" …]

depending on their string representation of ascii equvalent is a < b < c … < y < z and z always comes before z* (asterix means any)

Answer 4

it will print animals that start from letters between ‘M’ and ‘Y’ (both included) and also single letter "Z".
because "Z" < "Zebra"
