5. Ailuropoda Melanoleuca is the name for an animal native to south central China, which is characterized by large black patches around its eyes and ears, and a broad black stripe across its otherwise white round body. Can you name the animal?

Answer: Panda Bear

The Panda is classified as a carnivoran, however, it has a primarily herbivorous diet, mostly consisting of bamboo. The average panda eats as many as 14 kg of bamboo daily to maintain its energy level and size. Pandas are thought to be mostly docile creatures, but have been known to attack humans when irritated.
6. Which African equine animal is characterized by its black and white stripes?

Answer: zebra

The zebra is in the Equus genus with horses and donkeys. Their black and white stripes come in different patterns, unique to each zebra. There are many differing theories about the function of the stripes, including the theory that they are able to blend in with environment as a protective function, as well as the theory that the stripes help to control the body temperature.

Other theories suggest that the stripes are meant to confuse predators, or that they are a deterrent to horseflies.
7. Which musical instrument in the percussion family has a black and white component which the player uses in combinations to make melodies. The "key" to the answer is in the theme of the quiz.

Answer: Piano

Traditionally, piano keys were made of hard wood such as ebony, and the white keys were coated with strips of ivory since it is a hard-wearing material. Although still referred to as the "ivories", modern piano keyboards are made from some sort of hard plastic, as it is more affordable and durable. The alternative is also in response to the controversial nature of the ivory trade.
8. Which popular dog breed is known for its unique white coat marked with black spots?

Answer: Dalmatian

The Dalmatian was originally bred as a hunting dog. The origins of this breed are traced back to the Croatian region called Dalmatia. Dalmatians are a friendly and intelligent breed, making them a popular house pet, as well as a kennel club competitor.
9. Which Warner Brothers cartoon character is popular as being an amorous type, often pursuing the female persuasion of his species (at least, he thinks so), while also offending her with his scent?

Answer: Pepe Le Pew

Pepe Le Pew's first appearance was in 1945, as The Odor-able Kitty. Created by Chuck Jones and Michael Maltese, this Looney Tunes character was primarily featured in pursuit of a black cat named Penelope Pussycat. Penelope was frequently seen with a white stripe down her back due to an accident, such as encountering wet paint, while she tries to escape Pepe's advances.
10. Which black and white aquatic bird is primarily found in the Southern Hemisphere, where they are highly adapted for sea living, and are unable to fly?

Answer: Penguin

While it is believed that most penguins live in Antarctica, actually many live in more temperate areas, closer to the equator. Penguins are rather social birds, living in large colonies, ranging from 200 to several hundred thousand. This social nature leads to a large number of vocal and visual displays of communication amongst each other.
