1. Dazzler the lizard made her way through the ancient forest on a Japanese island where it seemed to rain all the time.

    Yakushima macaque
    White-cheeked gibbon
    White-fronted capuchin
    Wied's marmoset


2. Dazzler the lizard decided to go to California where she could watch movies being made. As she sauntered down Rodeo Drive, a bird with a crest on its head and its tail sticking up ran along the road and then picked Dazzler up in its beak. If only it had said "beep beep", then she could have moved out of the way! Which relative of the cuckoo likes to eat lizards?
    Atlantic canary
    Greater roadrunner
    Montezuma quail
    Brown pelican


3. Dazzler the lizard paid a visit to Madagascar to see her cousins, the chameleons. She wandered through the forest, occasionally climbing a tree to check which path she was on. Suddenly a small paw reached through the branches to grab her tightly by the leg and she found herself face to face with one of smallest primates in the world. Which tiny primate, that despite its name is actually not a rodent, lives only in Madagascar and is partial to a dish of lizard?
    Mouse lemur
    Spider monkey
    Black crested gibbon
    Peruvian night monkey


4. Dazzler the lizard opted to get some heat in the Kalahari Desert. She went into a nearby burrow to take a nap but soon realised that she was in the home of a closely-knit family. She knew they posted sentries who stood upright to watch for predators and that their name sounded feline... but she didn't know that they ate lizards whenever they could. What animals are chasing Dazzler now?
    Meerkats
    Gemsbok
    Barking gecko
    Crested porcupine


5. Dazzler the lizard took a tour of Britain. She rested for a while in a nice green meadow but suddenly a small animal, much longer than it was wide, dashed past her in a blur. It had a brown back with a white underside and it seemed to be darting all over the place as it tried, but failed, to catch a small vole. Then Dazzler shivered as she saw the creature's beady eyes fix on her. She wished she could make it go "pop!" - what animal is the smallest of the true carnivores and sometimes settles for lizards?
    Red squirrel
    Eurasian otter
    European beaver
    Least weasel


6. Dazzler the lizard was resting in the Americas and stuck out her tongue to sniff the air. She promptly stuck it back in again! Euww, that smell was awful. But just as she was backing away from the nauseating stench, a black creature with a white stripe down its back rushed in her direction and started to claw at her! What stinks the place up but can still stomach a nice lizard?
    Gray wolf
    Groundhog
    Pocket gopher
    Skunk


7. Dazzler the lizard needed a drink and went to Sweetwater in Texas which sounded just the place. As she sunned herself on a fencepost she heard a loud noise like maracas. Maracas meant fiesta time! Dazzler waved her tail in time with the rhythm but then realised that the sound came from a whole bunch of snakes being rounded up, and worse, these snakes ate lizards for breakfast. And lunch! Which lizard-loving snakes get rounded up?
    Rattlesnakes
    Pythons
    Cobras
    Grass snakes


8. Dazzler the lizard went to China and settled under a log for a good night's sleep. Suddenly Dazzler was woken by a long small animal with a bushy tail. It had a white stripe down the centre of its face and white patches on its cheeks. It looked like a cross between a stoat and a shy nocturnal creature, and its name sounded like that too... it also definitely liked crunching lizards! What stealthy nocturnal animal had its eye on Dazzler?
    Ferret badger
    Bobak marmot
    Common pipistrelle
    Tree pangolin


9. Dazzler the lizard took refuge in the Blue Ridge Mountains. As night fell, she crawled up the trunk of a tree for safety but a noise made her look up, and there, hanging from a branch by its tail was a creature with large eyes, sharp teeth, and a baby peering from a pouch on its belly! What marsupial lives north of the Rio Grande and munches on lizards?
    Virginia opossum
    American beaver
    Prairie dog
    Olympic marmot


10. Dazzler the lizard headed for Arizona; it was warm there and the Sonoran Desert was full of flowering cacti. She rested on a rock to get some sun and watched as another lizard ran towards her. He was running on his hind legs and looked quite handsome. Because he had two black stripes round his neck, Dazzler knew this must be a collared lizard and then she remembered what collared lizards eat! What aspect of the collared lizard's diet made Dazzler run?
    They eat garlic
    They eat rotten fish
    They eat skunk meat
    They eat other lizards
