Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. Among the following animals, which isn't a member of the cat family?

Answer: hyena

The hyena is more closely related to the cat family than the dog family, yet they aren't in the cat family. The tiger, lion and jaguar come under the cat family which is called Felidae. A member of this family is called a felid.
2. Which is the largest lizard on earth?

Answer: Komodo dragon

The Komodo dragon is also called the Komodo monitor. It is found on the Indonesian islands of Komodo, Rinca, Flores, Gili Motang, and Padar.
3. Which marine mammal is also known as an orca?

Answer: Killer whale

Orcas, or killer whales, are also known as the wolves of the sea. Orcas are the largest members of the dolphin family.
4. What marine animal is also known as the Zambezi shark?

Answer: Bull shark

These are a few unofficial names for the bull shark around the world: the Zambi or Zambezi shark in Africa; and the Nicaragua shark in Nicaragua.
It is commonly found in warm and shallow waters along coasts and also in rivers.
5. Do wolverines live in a pack?

Answer: No

Wolverines do not live in a pack as they are solitary animals once weaned. They are the largest land-dwelling species of the Mustelidae family. They look like bears but are closely related to the weasels. They can be very strong and vicious.
6. On a beach, what prey does a killer whale risk its life for?

Answer: Baby seal

Since the baby seals are unable to swim in the rough ocean, they are found mostly on the shore. Thus killer whales need to go all the way onto the shore to catch a meal and in doing so, risk being stranded.
7. Cheetah cubs are often killed by other predators.

Answer: True

Cheetah cubs are often killed by other predators, even when there is other prey at close range. Cheetah cubs don't have the speed of their parents when very young. They cannot sense danger. They are also very easy to catch when their parent is on a hunt. Only about one out of every three cubs survives to become an adult.
8. Who are the main competitors with the 'king of beasts' for their kills?

Answer: Hyenas

The 'king of beasts' is obviously the lion. When a kill is made, the lions will frequently have to defend their meal from hyenas. A single hyena can do little, but a whole pack can, and does, drive a pride of lions away from a carcass.
9. Among the following options, what does a cobra NOT eat?

Answer: an eagle

The only snakes that build nests for their eggs are the cobras. Until the hatchings emerge, the parent cobras zealously protect their eggs from animals which might use them as a meal.
10. Name the water creatures that are said to have saved the lives of many other creatures including human beings.

Answer: Dolphins

Dolphins are mammals. They are used in many shows. They are not at all dangerous, whereas killer whales, great white sharks and blue sharks can be dangerous to humans.
