Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. Which of these animals is really a bear?

Answer: None of these

A koala is a marsupial. A water bear is a tiny invertebrate that can shut down its body system to survive anything from radiation to a drought. A Gila monster is a lizard!

2. Which of these is NOT a real kind of animal?

Answer: Joseph's Frog

Animals can have strange names! The klipspringer is a hoofed animal. It can jump 6 feet into the air! The capybara, being the size of a sheep, is the world's largest rodent. The okapi is a relative to the giraffe. It has zebra-striped legs and brown fur on the rest of its body.

3. Why is an individual piranha so dangerous?

Answer: It isn't. They're only dangerous in large numbers.

It's true that piranhas can take down large animals, but notice that letter S following the fish's name. Just one can't hurt you much. In fact, some people have even bathed with them!

4. A caecilian is a legless animal. Can you tell me what type of animal a caecilian is?

Answer: an amphibian

A caecilian is a strange creature. However it may seem like a rainforest worm, a snake, or perhaps an eel, it is more like a salamander because it lives near, and is born in, water.

5. Which statement about birds is true?

Answer: Puffins lay eggs in holes.

There are many birds that do not fly, as you should know. The hummingbird is DEFINITELY NOT ONE OF THEM! Hummingbirds are wonderful fliers, and THEY are the ones who can fly backwards.

6. Are bats blind?

Answer: They are not!

Bats can see. They just need to rely on their sense of hearing because they hunt in the dark. Maybe people think bats are blind because of their strange motions in the air. That's really the bat catching insects.

7. What kind of animal is an octopus?

Answer: Cephalopod

The word cephalopod comes from the Greek words meaning "head" and "foot". Cephalopods have large heads and many tentacles. An octopus has eight tentacles.

8. People are trying to create "hybrids," which are mixes between different types of animals. Which is not a hybrid?

Answer: bull elephant

A bull elephant is just a name for a male elephant.

9. In 2000, how many people in Africa were killed by tigers?

Answer: None

Tigers aren't native to Africa. They live in Asia!

10. Which animal isn't endangered?

Answer: Bald eagle

Fortunately, the bald eagle has gotten off of the endangered list.

Congratulations! You finished the quiz!
