Whos for Dinner game quiz
"Jasper the Jaguar has invited a collection of exotic animals to attend a feast. Although they think they've come for the roast chicken, they all soon fear they may actually be on the menu. How much do you know about the animals at this banquet?"

15 Points Per Correct Answer - No time limit  



1. Jasper the jaguar, dressed in his tuxedo, looks hungrily at his guests before he speaks: "I am 'dying' to eat and you all look so tasty. But, I will give you each a chance to convince me that you should not be the one served for dinner tonight. Until I announce who's for dinner, I am your gracious host." Is it usual for a jaguar to hunt prey by luring it into his den?
    Yes; jaguars lay scent trails and use these to lure victims into their dens.
    Yes; jaguars almost never leave their dens, so they have no other strategies for securing food.
    It is very difficult to tell, because almost nothing is known about how jaguars behave in the wild.
    No, jaguars are opportunistic predators who stalk and ambush their prey.


2. "Oh you don't want to eat me," says Fah the frog. "I'm a tropical bird-eating frog that scientists only discovered in 2003. The people who discovered me will be on your tail if they find out you ate me!" Where is Fah from?
    Ireland
    Antarctica
    Thailand
    Greenland


3. Wendy the western tarsier says: "Oh Mr. Jaguar, if you grant me my life I will be your loyal servant and help you identify traitors in your midst. For example, I am certain that several of your guests are thinking about disobeying your instructions and eating me right now." What feature has helped Wendy identify her predators across the crowded candle-lit room?
    Eyes attached to retractable tentacles that help her see around obstructions
    Exceptionally large eyes that help her see even in very low light
    Compound eyes that allow her to look in many directions at once
    Tiny eyes that give her an extremely precise field of vision


4. Corey the common genet speaks from under his chair: "Although I have been tempted away from home tonight, I am rather agoraphobic. If I'm away from home for too long I get anxious and secrete a musky odour. I throw myself upon your mercy, handsome Mr. Jaguar." Which of the following best describes where you could find a common genet in the wild?
    in Australia and New Zealand
    in Africa, Europe and the Middle East
    throughout the Americas
    at the earth's poles


5. "I'm simply too nervous to think of a good reason for my life to be spared," says Garry the great horned owl. "I'm too busy worrying about that fellow over there who's looking at me hungrily." The other guests all start laughing because they realise that Garry is pointing at a mirror. Why might Garry be afraid of his own reflection?
    It is a well known fact that all owls hate mirrors.
    Great horned owls are known to fight with and eat each other.
    He wouldn't be afraid of anything - great horned owls are never harmed by other animals.
    He's just startled because great horned owls never come into contact with each other in the wild - even when breeding


6. Barry the Queensland bird-eating spider tries the logical approach: "There's no sense serving me for dinner, I'm too small. I suggest we choose a nice large beast so we can all have a hearty feed." "I don't know what you're worried about," interjects another guest, "you won't be eating anyway - you have no teeth." If Barry has no teeth, how does he eat birds in the wild?
    He swallows his prey whole and digests it in his stomach.
    He injects digestive juices into his prey to dissolve it from the inside out.
    He does have teeth - big ones!
    He tears his prey into tiny pieces using his powerful front legs.


7. "You will have a very late dinner if you choose to serve me," says Kylie the kinkajou. "If you ask your chef to find and cook the kinkajou, he will be searching for a very long time because he almost certainly knows me by another name." Which of the following is NOT another name for a kinkajou?
    Honey bear
    La llorona (the crying woman)
    Sugar bear
    Honey badger


8. Terrance the tayra says: "Mr. Jaguar I know you delight in being a good host. The truth is, I am an undercover food critic. I'm an omnivore and my appetite is easily piqued, so if you spare my life I'm sure I will be able to write a good review of the meal you serve." What might Jasper the jaguar include on the menu that a tayra would be used to eating in the wild?
    Any of these
    A small reptile
    A small mammal
    Fruit or other vegetation


9. Buster, a juvenile black caiman, makes himself look as big as he can and speaks: "When I grow up, I will be king of the waterways, and the largest predator in the Amazon basin, hunted only by man. Even at my current size I have few predators, but, as our host well knows, I need to keep an eye out for jaguars. Surely, Mr. Jaguar, you are too honourable to take advantage of my youth." With which other animal is the black caiman most often confused?
    turtle
    shark
    alligator
    dolphin


10. Blanche the bush dog speaks confidently: "Mr. Jaguar, we all have our tastebuds set for chicken. I am an expert chicken hunter. I propose you allow me to go and hunt enough chicken for all of us to feast upon." According to its scientific classification, to which family does the bush dog belong?
    Sciuridae, like prairie dogs and squirrels
    Canidae, like wolves, domestic dogs and foxes
    Felidae, like the tiger, the ocelot and the domestic cat
    Accipitridae, like eagles and hawks
