Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. Ferret

Answer: Mustelidae

Ferrets are listed as exotic pets. They are playful and fun to watch. They are also smart and very curious, and they can be trained to use a litter box. Their average life span is about eight to ten years but can live up to twelve years.
2. Cat

Answer: Felidae

Cats make good house pets and are very good mouse and rat catchers.
3. Raccoon

Answer: Procyonidae

Raccoons, though cute and fun to watch, can be an annoyance because of their ability to sneak into attics and crawl spaces of houses. They are also scavengers and can make a mess when searching in garbage cans for food.
4. Rat

Answer: Muridae

Rats originated in Asia and Australia but are now found all over the world. One of the most devastating pandemics in human history, 'The Black Death', was caused by fleas that were carried by rats.
5. Rabbit

Answer: Leporidae

Rabbits are known for their reproductive prowess. They breed three to four times each year. This is because only 15 percent of baby rabbits make it through their first year. So, to ensure that the population grows, they have more babies.
6. Squirrel

Answer: Sciuridae

Squirrels are bushy-tailed, tree climbing rodents that are found all over the world with the exception of Australia and Antarctica. To prepare for cold months, squirrels will bury their food so they have a store of food when supplies are scarce.
7. Bear

Answer: Ursidae

Bear are mostly large, omnivorous mammals found all over the world. Brown bears are found in more places than any other bear species. They live in North America, Africa, Asia, Europe, and the Middle East. South Australia has koala bears, but they are actually marsupials and not bears.
8. Opossum

Answer: Didelphidae

The Opossum is native to North America. They are marsupials that incubate their young in a pouch. When threatened by predators, they sometimes lie stiff and motionless to make their attackers think they are dead.
9. Mink

Answer: Mustelidae

The mink can be found in North America and Europe. Their fur is one of the most valuable and sought after furs in the world.
10. Fox

Answer: Canidae

Foxes are nocturnal mammals that like to hunt at night. Depending on where a fox pack lives, they may hunt during the day if they feel the territory is safe. Wild foxes normally have short lives of two to three years.
