FunTrivia Animals Mix: Vol 20 Trivia Quiz

Answer: white

Only one in every 100,000,000 lobsters caught comes in the albino variety - also known as "ghost" or "crystal" because of the translucent, pearl-like quality of these rare creatures' shells. Due to the absence of the pigment astaxanthin, which is responsible for most lobsters turning bright red when cooked, ghost lobsters will keep their pale colour even after cooking. Though lobsters are typically greenish-blue or greenish-brown, they can be found in a variety of other colours, including red, yellow, orange and split-coloured.

The New England Aquarium in Boston has a collection of multicoloured lobsters - known as the Lobster Rainbow - on display.

Question by player wildmatz

Answer: Fairy penguin

The fairy penguin is so called because of its small stature - it is the smallest of the penguin species. It is coloured bluey-grey and white, hence the name blue penguin. The penguins can be found round the coasts of New Zealand and the southern half of Australia. One of the biggest colonies is on Phillip Island, near Melbourne, Victoria, Australia.

It is a major tourist attraction to watch some of the 30,000 penguins returning from a day at sea to their burrows on land just after sunset every day.

Question by player Lottie1001

Answer: Their tails break off

Because their skins are reinforced by bones called osteoderms, the bodies of glass snakes become brittle easily and their tails often break and fall off. They have the ability to regrow their tails, thus restarting the cycle.

Question by player wwwocls

Answer: Male echidnas have a four headed penis

Yes - they have a four headed penis. They alternate the heads used during each intercourse session, using two at a time. Odd indeed. They actually can live a very long lifespan (40-50 years), eat ants and termites (not fruit), and the young are called puggles.
