Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. After starting my walk, I wished I had remembered to bring my camera.

Answer: Kiwi

After starting my walK, I WIshed I had remembered to bring my clothing.


The kiwi is a small flightless bird with a long beak and no tail found exclusively in New Zealand. Kiwis have large claws which they use as crampons and which enable them to climb up almost any topography. Kiwis mate for life and both males and females have short medium brown feathers. They burrow in the ground for caterpillars, snails, ants, roaches, and beetles. They are good swimmers and are known to hunt frogs and crayfish near the edge of rivers and ponds. They have very large eggs in relation to their body size and their nostrils are located at the end of their long beaks.
2. After carrying six infants in her womb, a thin mother realized her shape had changed forever.

Answer: Wombat

After carrying six infants in her WOMB, A Thin mother realized her shape had changed forever.

The Australian wombat is a pudgy, medium-sized burrowing marsupial. They have backward facing pouches and unusual cubic-shaped feces. They have rodent-like teeth that never quit growing. They use these teeth to gnaw through tough vegetation, tree bark, and roots. They usually give birth to a single baby which crawls into the mother's pouch where they stay exclusively for the next six months. Offspring are not completely weaned until about 15 months and become sexually mature only a few months later. This nocturnal animal, like many of the indigenous animals of Australia has become an endangered species due to the activities of man.
3. She tried, in good faith, to get a loan for a ton of eucalyptus leaves.

Answer: Dingo

She trieD,IN GOod faith, to get a loan for a ton of eucalyptus leaves.

The dingo is a wild canine, found in Australia, that usually comes in ginger colored fur, but has been seen in black, tan, white, and occasionally in brindle. They have very intense golden eyes and are most likely to be seen in northern areas of the continent. The dingo was one of the largest predators on the island of Australia other than man. Dingoes do not usually bark, preferring to communicate by howling. Some dingoes live in packs, while others are a little more solitary in nature. This apex predator hunts small marsupials, ground dwelling birds, and rabbits.
4. Hey, let's go, Anna is making seaweed tarts.

Answer: Goanna

Hey, lets GO, ANNA is making seaweed tarts.

The goanna is a type of monitor lizard that is found in Australia. It has a flattened body and very sharp claws. It has a snake-like tongue which it flicks in and out just like a serpent. It can be found in almost all terrain on the island and comes in a variety of sub-species. They are strong swimmers, excellent tree climbers, and are capable of digging very elaborate underground burrow systems. Goanna eat other lizards, insects, scorpions, centipedes and carrion. They are very opportunistic feeders as well as being very adaptable to most topographical features. Although they are usually seen running on all four feet, when threatened, they stand on their back two feet assuming a defensive posture.
5. Cybil bypassed the exit ramp.

Answer: Bilby

CyBIL BYpassed the exit ramp.

The bilby is a small Australian marsupial that looks somewhat like a rat crossed with a small kangaroo and a rabbit. The bilby is a nocturnal creature with tawny fur. It is known for its excellent digging skills and usually spends the daylight hours in their elaborate underground burrows. They use their long ears to help them find insects in the dark. They also eat berries, grass, fungi, and occasionally very small animals.
6. Falling off of Ayers Rock caused me to be numb, at least for three seconds!

Answer: Numbat

Falling off of Ayers Rock caused me to be NUMB, AT least for three seconds!

The numbat, found in southwest Australia, is also known as the marsupial anteater. About the size of a squirrel, it has a long cylindrical snout with a sticky tongue which it uses to catch its favorite termites. It has a bushy tail, and brown fur with white stripes. It is usually found in eucalyptus forests where it frequently makes its home in fallen logs. Like most marsupials, it gives birth to underdeveloped babies which then climb into the safety of their mother's pouch. However, the teats of a female numbat are not found inside the pouch which means the baby must exit each day to nurse. It stays extremely close to its mother for months, coming out only to feed.
7. After he failed to climb the wall abysmally, Humpty Dumpty decided to scramble himself.

Answer: Wallaby

After he failed to climb the WALL ABYsmally, Humpty Dumpty decided to scramble himself.

Another Australian marsupial, the wallaby looks a lot like a small kangaroo. Wallabies are herbivores who will eat almost any kind of plant life including leaves, grass, berries, and vegetables. They have powerful hind legs and a very strong tail, which can both used in a defensive manner. Introduced species have caused a population decline for all species of wallaby.
8. I bet tongues from giraffes might be good with spaghetti.

Answer: Bettong

I BET TONGues from giraffes might be good with spaghetti.

The bettong, also known as a rat kangaroo, is a shy, nocturnal marsupial that was once found in many parts of Australia. There are half a dozen sub-species, all with slight variations due to their habitat. They have a prehensile tail that they use to carry bundles of nesting materials, such a twigs and straw. At night they come out to dig for underground tubers and fungi. The population of all types of bettong has declined drastically. Most of this is due to human agriculture, predation by foxes, and the impact of grazing animals that destroy their nests.
9. While digging with my spade, melon juice dripped down my face.

Answer: Pademelon

While digging with my sPADE, MELON juice dripped down my face.

The pademelon looks like a small wallaby with a shorter, thicker tail. The pademelon prefers to live in thick scrubland, swamp land, and dense forests. They were hunted for many years for their meat and for their soft fur. Their populations have been greatly reduced by the introduction of rabbits into Australia, as both animals have the same diet. They prefer areas of dense vegetation, which provides protection from many of the natural predators on the island. They are nocturnal, herbivorous, and stealthy.
10. We kayaked down the Darling River.

Answer: Weka

WE KAyaked down the Darling River.

About the size of a domestic chicken, the weka is indigenous to the island nation of New Zealand. It has soft brown feathers, reduced wings, and a small tail that it flicks back and forth in the same manner that a dog wags its tail. This flightless bird makes its nests on the ground and lays two to five eggs each time. Both the male and female help with the incubation and the raising of the chicks until they are grown. The weka is an omnivore that eats frogs, rats, berries, tubers, leaves, grass and insects. It is very adaptable and makes use of whatever food and nesting materials are available.
