Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

Answer: Wombat

Wombats are large Austrlian marsupials that really resemble a round slab of concrete on legs. They are slow but strong, with teeth that can bite through bone. Interestingly, their pouches face backwards. This is so their young aren't covered with dirt when the wombat is digging.

2. I'm a large feline mammal. I'm not the fastest or the strongest but I am the biggest of the felines, save hybrids. My coat is very distinctive, so you'll know me if you see me. What am I?

Answer: Tiger

Tigers are members of a group of felines called the 'big cats', a group which also includes lions, jaguars and leopards. These 'big cats' are the only cats able to roar.

Answer: Dog

Dogs are one of the most popular kinds of pet in the world, and have been bred for many different uses, from herding sheep to hunting game to simply being compainons.

4. I'm a hybrid mammal and the largest feline in the world, due to a hormone that means I never stop growing. I used to be thought of as infertile but that has since been proven wrong. What am I?

Answer: Liger

A liger is the offspring of a male lion and a female tiger. They show characteristics from both lions and tigers. They enjoy swimming, like tigers, and are social creatures like lions. They do not often live long due to birth defects and illness.

Answer: Tasmanian Devil

The Tasmanian Devil is the largest meat-eating marsupial that is not extinct. It mostly eats carrion instead of live prey, and will eat the whole animal, bones, skin, fur and all. They emit a strong odor when stressed, like a skunk, and will also screech loudly.

6. I'm the largest wild canine still alive today. In some places I am hunted for sport or to keep me away from livestock, but in others I'm protected. What am I?

Answer: Wolf

Depending on the area and the people, wolves have been subject of many differing opions by people. Some believe that wolves are noble creatures to be revered and left alone, others believe that they are vicious animals that should be exterminated.

7. I'm a large mammal, native to Africa and Asia. I resemble a dog in some ways, but I am not actually related to them. I'm well known for my distinctive call. What am I?

Answer: Hyena

Hyenas have a matriarchal social structure, meaning that the females are dominant. Like Tasmanian Devils, Hyenas have powerful jaws that can crack bones, as they eat all of their meal, even bones and horns.

Answer: Blue Whale

Blue whales are huge, even at birth. Newborn calves weigh something around 5.4 to 7.3 tonnes at birth and gain about 90 kilograms in weight a day. Calves can swim properly about half an hour after birth.

Answer: Bat

Bats are the only mammals that are able to fly, rather than glide short distances. Bats hunt at night, instead of during the day to avoid having to compete with birds for food.

Answer: Raccoon Dog

Raccoon dogs are native to China, Japan, Korea and Russia. As their name suggests they are canines, but they resemble raccoons, which is the reason for their name.
