Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. Koala

Answer: Joey

Baby koalas share the same name as kangaroos and other marsupials. Koala joeys remain in their mother's pouch for six months after birth. When born, koala joeys are blind, and have no ears or fur. The six months in the pouch allow the baby koala to properly develop these traits.
2. Salmon

Answer: Smolt

Baby salmon develop in seven separate stages that lead to adulthood. Smolt refers to the stage of baby salmon development where the salmon become adapted to life in the sea.
3. Boar

Answer: Shoat

Shoat is the the common name for baby animals like pigs. A shoat is most commonly used to describe a baby pig or boar that has been recently weaned off its mother's milk, and beginning to eat more solid food.
4. Eel

Answer: Leptocephalus

The body of a leptocephalus is compressed, and most are clear in appearance. They lack red blood cells until they become juveniles. Most of the common eel species bear this name in their early life.
5. Hawk

Answer: Eyas

In the first year or so of a baby falcon's life, they have longer feathers on their wings that make learning to fly much easier. This allows them to hone their other skills that will serve them well as adults.
6. Sea urchin

Answer: Pluteus

Pluteus is the general term for the larva stage for some species in the echinoderm phylum. A baby sea urchin can have up to a dozen arm-like appendages when it begins its larva stage. After several months, the urchin develops into adulthood.
7. Partridge

Answer: Cheeper

Partridges are native to Europe, Asia, and Africa. Baby partridges don't require much time after hatching before they are able to walk with their mother by their side. Since partridge build their nests on the ground, cheepers are quite vulnerable, and must rely on their mothers' instincts to keep them safe until they can fend for themselves.
8. Frog

Answer: Polliwog

Polliwogs, or tadpoles, are the terms used for baby frogs before they develop legs. Polliwogs have internal gills for breathing, as they are unable to walk on land. They also have tails that allow for movement. The gills and tails are not permanent, as the frog loses them as they grow legs and become fully amphibious.
9. Platypus

Answer: Puggle

Puggle is a common name used for baby echidnas, the only group of mammals that lay eggs instead of giving birth to live young. A baby platypus hatches without sight or hair. Being fully vulnerable, it relies on its mother for a few months before venturing out into the world. They are fed by its mother's milk, which is lapped from the mother's body after it exits her pores.
10. Mussel

Answer: Glochidium

Glochidium is the term for the larva stage of the life cycle of mollusks. Mussels stay in the larva stage for up to six months. Once that time elapses, the juvenile mussel lands on a hard surface, and begins to slowly move around to find the best place to live.
