They are intelligent and very curious.
2. Which domestic animal from Vietnam is very intelligent and can learn lots of tricks?

Answer: Pot Bellied Pig

These pigs are affectionate and highly trainable. They are very smart and can learn many behaviours. On the other hand, they are always hungry and can figure out how to open fridges and cupboards.
3. Which beautiful birds from Africa are highly intelligent and can be taught many tricks and words?

Answer: Grey Parrot

An African or Congo grey parrot is a life long commitment as they can live for 40-60 years. Very smart and gregarious, they like to learn words, phrases and tricks. They are herbivores and like fruit, nuts, flowers and occasionally insects.
4. Which densely furred rodents from South America make good pets for older children and adults? They are very nice to stroke.

Answer: Chinchillas

The fur of a chinchilla is so dense that water has a hard time getting to their skin. The fur is beautifully coloured and very soft. They are not best for small children as they are fragile and can bite when mishandled or frightened.
5. Which large hairy spider that can be found in most tropical and subtropical areas of the world did Harry Belafonte sing about? The largest of these is the Goliath birdeater.

Answer: Tarantulas

Tarantulas are good pets because they are quiet and don't take up much room. There are several different types available as pets, so make sure you do your homework on their special requirements as they differ from species to species. They are poisonous and do bite if hurt or stressed. The bites are painful, but generally not fatal unless the person has a specific allergy.

Harry Belafonte mentioned a tarantula in 'The Banana Boat Song'.
6. Which mammal found in Africa, Asia and Europe is a prickly critter? They like to eat insects.

Answer: Hedgehogs

The spines of the hedgehog are actually hairs that are stiffened with keratin, the same substance that makes up your fingernails. They are not poisonous, but they can hurt if you are not careful in handling your pet.
7. Which small marsupial found in Indonesia, New Guinea and Australia can "fly" from tree to tree?

Answer: Sugar Gliders

These are cute and playful pets that derive their name from the nectar that they prefer, though they will eat plants, insects, fruit and even small birds as well. They are very social and ideally an owner would have two or more.
8. Which mammal that originated in West Africa is a miniature of a domestic animal? They can be used for the production of milk, but are usually kept as pets only.

Answer: Pygmy Goat

These small goats are very adaptable and can live in many different environments. They are good pets as they are quite hardy and will eat practically any vegetation. They are great at cleaning out thistles and blackberry bushes!
9. Which reptiles are known for their ability to camouflage themselves anywhere?

Answer: Chameleons

Chameleons make good pets for experienced owners as they are a little harder to maintain that other lizards. The name is derived from the Greek and means "earth lion". They range in size from quite small at one inch, up to about 30 inches long.
Their primary diet is insects.
10. Which animal is the largest rodent in the world and is from South America?

Answer: Capybara

These pets aren't for everyone as they are large and very social, needing the companionship of at least one other capybara. Capybaras can grow up to 140 pounds. They are semi-aquatic and need a least a pool or pond to bathe in. On the good side, they are quite tame.
