Ain't Misbehavin' Trivia Quiz

Answer: Owl

Owls can be found on every continent in the world except Antarctica. They have large eyes on the front of their heads so they can see their prey even in the dark. They can't move their eyes, however, but they can turn their necks almost all the way around! They also have very good hearing and they fly silently so their prey can't hear them.

The other animals in the answer options are also birds.

Answer: Badger

Badgers are large creatures that can be found in North America, Europe and some places in Asia and Africa. They are omnivores, meaning they eat both plants and other animals, and they scurry along the ground digging for insects and grubs, small animals and some plants. They are nocturnal and sleep in burrows which they dig themselves.

The other animals are also black and white in colour.

Answer: Koala

Koalas are marsupials which sit in trees eating only a special type of leaf from the eucalyptus tree. They don't need to drink as these leaves provide all the water they need. They are mostly only awake at night and rarely make a sound.

The other animals are also Australian marsupials.

Answer: Cricket

Crickets are insects with a flat body and very long antennae. You can sometimes hear the males making chirping sounds, which they make by rubbing their wings together. They do this to attract females and keep other males away. They are mostly nocturnal and they are eaten by some birds and spiders.

Answer: Firefly

The firefly (or lightning bug) is a type of winged beetle which lives in hot climates all over the world. They are nocturnal, so the dark night really helps their glow stand out!

Answer: Beaver

Beavers have very powerful jaws and teeth which can even make a tree fall down! They gnaw and chew at wood and build dams in lakes, streams and rivers to make the place they're at better to live in.
