Question by player PDAZ

Answer: whiskers

Purring originates from a part of the cat's throat called the larynx, and is produced by the rapid contraction and relaxation of the laryngeal muscles in the larynx and diaphragm. The neural oscillator in the cat's brainstem sends rhythmic signals to those muscles, causing them to vibrate and produce the purring sound. The ability to purr begins when a cat is just a kitten, several days old, and continues into adulthood.

Question by player incognito101

Answer: Silverfish

A silverfish is a wingless insect usually found living in your home. The others live in the water but can come up to dry land and air sometimes. Mudskippers frequently come to land and can survive in air for up to 3.5 days. Snakeheads can survive up to four days on land due to a special chamber beside their gills that helps them breathe on land. Lungfish (or African mudfish) can live many months out of water in their burrows of hardened mud beneath a dried stream bed.
