Many animals are said to act in strange ways before natural disasters. Is the oarfish one of them? While much information about this odd fellow remains to be discovered, there are still some facts to uncover. Let's see!
Here we have a tangle of twelve birds that need to find their families. Help match the correct ICZN (International Code of Zoological Nomenclature) family to each of these twelve creatures. (Click the images for a closer look!)
See how you go placing these animals in their groups - terrestrial, aquatic or aerial. Be aware, there are some insects (in their adult form) in this selection.
Australia plays host to such an array of dangerous creatures that the mention of the country is bound to create nightmares for some. The dangerous creatures within this quiz are ones that may use venom as a bioweapon.

Humans may be on top of the food chain, but we're not exactly invincible in the animal kingdom. Plenty of animals cause the deaths of humans every year, and in this quiz we'll go through some of them.
The many shark species that inhabit the world's seas are known by a host of rather distinctive common names. Can you pick out which names in this list refer to sharks?
In many ecosystems, sharks are apex predators that can efficiently take down prey of nearly any size. Here are ten questions that test your knowledge of these champions of the sea.
Being spineless is the definition of the invertebrates shown here - although some of them can exhibit quite a bit of courage and/or aggression. Can you match each picture to the name of the animal shown?
A follow-up to "Wild Mammals, but Orderly", covering 10 more orders of class Mammalia. A bit harder than the previous quiz as the translations of some of the Latinate names don't necessarily narrow things down. A challenge for amateur zoologists!
Come along with me as we take a stroll in the UK looking for insects en route. All you need to do is move the right insect name into the blank in the narrative.

Insects always seem to steal the show when it comes to the invertebrate world, but there is a veritable world of other organisms that inhabit the various phyla lacking a vertebral column. Can you match them to their correct groups?
Are you ready to distinguish between the majestic, the independent and the loyal? Your challenge is to decide whether the given breed belongs to the horse, cat or dog family.
One of nature's wonders is a bird in flight but some of these poor devils are unlikely to experience that phenomenon... they're stuck on the ground. Can you spot the stuck (flightless) birds in this lot?
Animals come in all different colors, which typically helps them to survive in their habitat by making them blend in with their surroundings, warning predators to stay away, or attracting mates. These, as the title indicates, share a color.
The animals featured in this quiz belong to three classes: reptiles, birds, and fish. Can you put each of them in the group where it belongs? Some of these rather funny common names may provide hints.

Barely a seabird in sight (but a few water birds have been included), C-Birds is a quiz about birds with names starting with C. All you need do is match the bird name with its corresponding photo. Happy hunting... Oh, poor choice of phrase. Sorry.
A phun look at ground-dwelling birds in this family. Okay, I'll stop with the 'ph' puns now. The word 'Phasianoidea' means 'look like pheasants' - I wonder if they taste as good?
