Hello Yellow11,
You are correct in your observation regarding 3d. Head to Chambers and the answer will be revealed, and confirmed in its cryptic clueing. Have you not spotted the theme yet? Something that happened in the year of the number of this Speccie, and that some are hoping for a reoccurrence this year.
