Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. I have eight legs and often dine on insects. What am I?

Answer: Spider

Spiders come in all sorts of sizes and colors, and usually avoid people. But never play with them because some are very dangerous!

2. Which snake makes a rattling sound when you get too close?

Answer: Rattlesnake

A rattlesnake rattles its tail when it feels threatened. If you hear a rattling sound in the grass, don't walk any further or the snake could bite you.

3. In cartoons I am usually colored pink and have a curly tail. I usually live on a farm and like to roll around in the mud. What am I?

Answer: Pig

Pigs are big farm animals that people raise for food. Pork and bacon come from pigs.

4. You will only see me flying around at night. I like to live in caves and hang upside down. What animal am I?

Answer: Bat

Near San Antonio, Texas, lives the largest bat colony in North America. During the summer, nearly 15 million bats live in a cave, and come out every night to eat insects.

5. The fastest animal in the world can fly at almost 240mph! What is the name of this bird that can fly almost three times as fast as a cheetah, the fastest land animal, can run?

Answer: Peregrine falcon

Peregrine falcons can be seen almost anywhere in the world, but very few live in the wild. They nearly became extinct, but through efforts to protect them, the number of peregrine falcons is slowly increasing.

6. What kind of fish is covered in orange and white stripes, and has a name that sounds like it could work at a circus?

Answer: Clownfish

Clownfish live among plants called anemones. They also are immune to jellyfish stings. That's important when you live near lots of poisonous jellyfish!

7. I can wear shoes just like you. I'll let you ride me, too, but only if you have a saddle. What am I?

Answer: Horse

Horses are my favorite animal. Owning a horse takes a lot of work. But after the hard work is done, you can go on a relaxing horseback ride through the countryside!

8. In which of the places listed can you find penguins living in the wild?

Answer: Antarctica

Almost all penguins live in Antarctica, but small groups of them can be found on the far southern shores of countries like New Zealand and Argentina. For most of us though, it's much easier to see penguins at a zoo!

9. What might happen if you grab a gecko by its tail?

Answer: You'll pull the tail off.

If a predator (or you) grabs a gecko by the tail, the gecko will detach it and run away. The tail will also flop around on its own for a few minutes after being detached. A new tail will grow in about 6 weeks.

10. What animal can change color to match its surroundings?

Answer: Chameleon

Not all chameleons can change color, though. Those that can do so for many reasons. Some change color depending on the time of day, while others change color when they hunt or become startled.
