3. Vital for protection, which of the following animals does NOT have a carapace?

Answer: earthworm

A carapace is a protective "shell" which encases an animal, helping to keep its internal organs safe. The carapace is the upper part (dorsal) of the exoskeleton. Some animals, such as the tortoise and the turtle, have an inner skeleton (known as an endoskeleton), and scientists believe that today's turtle shell came from the rib cage of its ancestors and not from an exoskeleton.

5. Animals: Is the Tasmanian Devil living, extinct, mythological or a folk tale?

Answer: Living

The cartoon character, Taz, may not be real, but the Tasmanian Devil is, and it lives, unsurprisingly, in Tasmania! It is the largest carnivorous marsupial, and although it is only the size of a small dog, it is known for its ferocity. The Tasmanian Devil population is being ravaged by a contagious facial cancer - the threat is so great that healthy animals are being removed from the wild to be kept as breeding stock should the wild population die out.
