Fun Trivia : Quizzes : Edentates (Sloth, Anteater, etc) : A Day in the Life of Brady P. Sloth

Introduction:
"Brady is the star of our quiz here today, and like all Bradypus sloths, he has three toes! Life for Brady and his ilk is hard sometimes, but just how much does our unlikely hero actually have to do in his awake time?"


1. Brady wakes up in the same old tree he does every single day. It's dusk, and he knows that it should rain later on in the forest. Yes sir, life around Manaus sure can be exciting. Where does our unlikely hero live?
    Northern Europe, with the reindeer
    In central Africa
    In the South American rainforests
    On the islands of Australasia


2. Brady is completely awake now, so he decides to do what he does every day, and what sloths are best at. What are sloths, be they Bradypus or Choloepus, best at?
    Playing energetically with the other animals in the forest
    Macramé
    Diving in the rivers to catch their prey (fish)
    Moving slowly around trees and eating leaves


3. Those darn Procyonid brothers! These raccoon-like mammals are a form of competition for our friend Brady, as they run along the same trees, eat the same leaves, and are opportunist. What is the common name for these animals, which are such pests to poor Bradypus sloths?
    Agoutis
    Nutrias
    Coatimundis
    Guanacoes


4. Poor Brady, it looks like he's strayed too far from home. Because of how he has evolved, he can no longer walk on his own two feet. It looks like he might have to brave the rushing river. But can sloths swim?
    Yes
    No


5. It's hard to find a salon in the rainforest, especially for someone as ugly as our poor Bradypus. His fur is long, tangled, and has a distinct green sheen to it. What is this green most likely to be?
    Bacteria colonies
    Moon dust
    Algae
    Leaf matter


6. Our friend Brady is quite the oddity. While all his slothy friends have pale throats, Brady has a dark one, the same colour as the rest of his fur. What type of sloth is our hero?
    Bradypus tridactylus (Pale-Throated Three-Toed Sloth)
    Bradypus variegatus (Brown-Throated Three-Toed Sloth)
    Bradypus torquatus (Maned Three-Toed Sloth).
    Choloepus hoffmanni (Hoffman's Two-Toed Sloth)


7. A sloth leads a lonely life, especially the poor Bradypus. Every so often though, a special lady will come by. Which of these four methods will our friend Brady NOT use to attract his lady friend?
    Spreading scent from neck glands
    Flowers and a box of chocolates
    Marking territories with dung
    Emitting bleating and whistling noises


8. It's a long old life for a sloth, and in captivity, Brady's friends have been known to live for up to 30 years! How long would Brady actually live in the wild, though?
    Twice as long and more! Fresh air and exercise do wonders!
    Nowhere near as long! Five years, maximum.
    About two thirds less time, about 10 years.
    Around the same. Captivity can't make that much difference, right?


9. The sun is coming up, and Brady is reflecting on his day. Although Bradypus sloths often stay awake throughout the day, it has been a tiring nine hours for our hero, and his body does not readily create energy for him to use. In fact, the food Brady ate today will take up to a month to be fully digested.
    True
    False


10. 'Yawn!' A sort of knackered, slothy noise comes out of our friend Brady. When he goes to catch some shut-eye tonight, to dream about the day ahead, where will he go, and how will he sleep?
    Hanging off a branch, he'll dangle using one arm
    In the trees, he'll curl up in a ball
    He'll go down to the floor and sleep in a bush
    Grabbing a nearby duvet, he'll make a bed out of fruit and sleep on that
