Thematic Animals Trivia Questions

1. A cockroach race takes place every 4 years in New Jersey to predict which personage?

From Quiz
They Race Horses, Don't They?

Answer: The Democratic candidate for the presidential election

Run by the Pest Control Association, the cockroach race to predict the Democratic candidate is a popular event. In 1999 Al Gore won, beating Bill Bradley, and in 1992 the winner was Bill Clinton. Cockroach racing originated in Brisbane, Australia, before spreading to the US. Cockroaches have been known to achieve speeds of up to 50 body lengths per second, which is equivalent to a human achieving 100 metres in less than 1 second. Red Teams smpdit shuddered as she wrote this question.

2. After what was the Mock Turtle in Lewis Carroll's "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland" (1865) named?

From Quiz All About Turtles, Second Herd

Answer: mock turtle soup

The Queen of Hearts asks Alice if she has seen the Mock Turtle to which she responds that she doesn't even know what a Mock Turtle is. The Queen says, "It's the thing Mock Turtle Soup is made from." Carroll frequently drew on 1860s English society to make fun of the oddities of the times. Mock turtle soup was popular in the Victorian era. 19th century British recipes for mock turtle soup substituted calf's head, calf's brain and calf's foot for turtle meat.

3. According to the popular children's book by Dr. Seuss, who is the "king of the pond"?

From Quiz All About Turtles, First Herd

Answer: Yertle the Turtle

"Yertle the Turtle, the King of the Pond" appeared in a children's picture book entitled "Yertle the Turtle and Other Stories" in 1958. Theodor Seuss Geisel wrote and drew the book under his pen-name Dr. Seuss. Written in anapestic tetrameter, it tells the story of a turtle who commanded his subject turtles to pile themselves up so that he could be higher than the moon. Mack, the turtle at the bottom of the pile, burps causing the whole pile, including Yertle, to tumble into the mud. The use of the word "burp" in a children's book was controversial in 1958.

4. Lassie, who saved Timmy from many a disaster, is what type of animal?

From Quiz P.E.B.C.?

Answer: canine

From 1954 to 1973 the eponymous tv series brought us the adventures of this intelligent and courageous Rough Collie dog.

5. Lamb of God is a band from Richmond, Virginia, USA. What genre of music are their compositions?

From Quiz Like a Lamb to the Author

Answer: Heavy Metal

Lamb of God is a heavy metal band which is considered an important part of the 'New Wave of American Heavy Metal' movement. Originally formed as Burn the Priest, their original lineup consisted of John Campbell, Chris Adler, Mark Morton and Matt Conner. After releasing the album "Burn the Priest" and a few lineup changes later, the band renamed itself Lamb of God. Their second album "New American Gospel" was critically acclaimed and was considered a cornerstone of the Heavy Metal genre.

6. In baseball, relief pitchers sit in this area and warm up in preparation of being called in to pitch.

From Quiz Beef or Pork

Answer: Bullpen

The bullpen is where pitchers warm up before going into a game. Recently, relief pitchers have started to develop celebration dances in honor of a teammate who just made a great play on offense or defense. There is much disagreement about the actual source for the use of the word 'bullpen'.

7. The symbiotic relationship between a barnacle and a whale is called what?

From Quiz Blasted Barnacles

Answer: Commensalism

There are three types of relationships between two separate species. A parasitic relationship is one in which one species lives in or on another species, and in order for the first to survive it can cause damage or even death to the other species. Mistletoe lives on trees, taking water and nutrients, weakening them. Mutualism would be honeybees and flowers, where the bees obtain nectar and the flowers are pollinated; thus, both benefit from the relationship. Commensalism does neither - the barnacle gets nutrients and a free ride. The whale gets no benefit.

8. IT is simply the larval stage of the common house fly, and is often found on dead bodies. What's the word for these critters that is also used to refer to recruits in the armed services?

From Quiz IT (NOT Stephen King)

Answer: Maggots

Maggots are insect larvae in general, and the term is used for green bottle fly larvae in particular when used medicinally. They may also be found in and on any decaying matter, such as rotting things in your garbage. Maggots are nature's cleaners, and the service they provide allows them to thrive as they eat. They have been found useful in forensic science to help determine time of death and other information. Maggots have long been used in medicine to clean wounds when they eat only decayed flesh, and it is necessary to get rid of decay in order to promote healthy growth. Too much of a good thing or the wrong type of maggot can lead to removal of live tissue and Myiasis (infestation and infection). Medicinal maggots are now disinfected before being used. There are about 300 institutes in the U.S. that use Maggot Debridement, and more than three times that number in the U.K. To keep maggots away from your environment, practice strict hygiene, bag and freeze organic garbage till trash day, and inspect your pets' skin and your own to check for possible entry sites. Maggots have been known to enter any animal through any orifice, and those entering facial orifices may make their way to the brain with disastrous to fatal consequences. Livestock such as sheep may be sprayed, dipped, shaved and cleansed of hair around the backside (dried urine and fecal matter attract maggots). Mulesing (skin removal to tighten skin in the hind quarters) and docking are practices that have caused animal rights groups and others concerns for the animals. There is severe economic impact involved, for example an estimated $170 million dollar loss in Australia's sheep industry every year from maggots. Infestation usually leads to anorexia and death of the host. Getting rid of maggots is difficult in large livestock breeding areas, as it usually requires pesticides, extreme heat or cold to kill. Once the maggot has reached adulthood it begins the egg laying process all over again. Be thankful this is NOT a photo quiz, as most humans react negatively even to pictures of maggots.

9. Who used his 'Magic Bag of Tricks' to get himself out of mortal danger in every episode?

From Quiz Furred, Fleaed and Feathered Fictional Friends

Answer: Felix the Cat

Felix, who first appeared in silent films in the 1920s, was always getting into trouble, with his most usual antagonist being the professor and his canine henchman. It was revived in the '50s on TV screens and again in the late 1980s in a full-length movie. Sources - Wikipedia.org (and trivia conversations with friends) Contributed by: grisham

10. In a certain animated film, while all the other young animals are talking, the adorable tapir pipes up and says "Sometimes, I throw up!" What movie is the tapir from?

From Quiz Unusually Ugly Ungulates

Answer: Ice Age

15. The Duke of Wellington had a favourite horse that went into battle with him against Napoleon. It was named after a European capital. What was it called?

From Quiz Four-Legged Friends

Answer: Copenhagen

Though a fine battle charger, Copenhagen could be cantankerous. After Waterloo Wellington gently patted his horse on the rump and was greeted with a kick that almost did for him! However, in a battle situation he was composed, brave and reliable. Copenhagen and the Iron Duke (Wellington) became synonymous with each other even after the war had finished; when Wellington became Prime Minister in 1828 he rode Copenhagen up to 10 Downing Street. In his latter years he mellowed and became a family favourite and lived on to 1936 before he died aged 29 years. He was given a military funeral with full honours and was buried at Wellington's estate at Stratfield Saye where he was commemorated by a stone marker.

18. Drew Barrymore appeared in the 1985 film "Cat's Eye". Who wrote the story upon which the film is based?

From Quiz A Bird's-Eye View

Answer: Stephen King

Derived from some of the material from his "Night Shift" short story collection, "Cat's Eye" follows the story of a cat and those it comes into contact with. The third story features Drew Barrymore's character and the cat almost entirely as they fight to stop a troll from stealing her breath away. Directed by Lewis Teague, who also directed "Cujo" in 1983, the film is less remembered than most of Stephen King's other adaptations. The stories within border more on fantasy than the characteristic horror we see in the author's work. The movie was King's second screenplay (after the George A. Romero film, "Creepshow" which also used a number of King's stories).

21. There are, in this wild and weird world of ours, some really huge squid. Which fact about these monster squid ISN'T true?

From Quiz Squid Pro Quo

Answer: Giant Squid (Architeuthis dux) can reach lengths of 120 feet.

Alas, the reports of enormously long giant squid were reached by taking the squid's tentacles and stretching them like rubber bands. While the details of squid measurement are complicated, suffice it to say that the lengths of both the giant squid (Architeuthis dux) and the colossal squid (Mesonychoteuthis hamiltoni) are comparable to a school bus. While a giant squid or a colossal squid would give you calamari rings the size of tractor tires, their tissue is high in ammonia, which is why they'd taste like floor cleaner. This doesn't stop giant squid from cannibalism...squid stomach contents are finely minced, but the soup is rich in giant squid DNA. Speaking of sushi, most kids' science books show the giant squid locked in mortal combat with its arch-nemesis, the sperm whale. In fact, a giant squid once tried to attack the Norwegian ship The Brunswick. The squid would pace the ship, then turn and try to wrap its tentacles around it. But the ship was slippery, and the squid wound up in the ship's propellers.
