Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. What is the largest tree-dwelling mammal in Australian forests?

Answer: Tree kangaroo

Tree kangaroos have shorter legs and stronger forearms than the kangaroos that most of us associate with Australia. They are unable to sweat. Instead, they lick their forearms and allow the evaporation of the saliva to cool their bodies. The tree kangaroo is endangered due to habitat loss.
2. Giant pandas live in bamboo forests and in zoos around the world. What is the typical gestational period of the giant panda?

Answer: Approximately 90-160 days

The giant panda has such a range in its gestational period because fertilized eggs do not always begin developing immediately. On average, the gestational period is 135 days, but the San Diego Zoo had a giant panda named Dong Dong that had a gestational period of 184 days.

This is a record amongst captive-bred giant pandas at the time of writing. Habitat loss in its native bamboo forests in China is an issue for the giant panda.
3. Saolas are a rare forest dweller in the forests of which mountain range?

Answer: Annamite Mountains

Saolas are found in the Annamite Mountains in Vietnam and Laos. They are related to cattle, but resemble an antelope. They are critically endangered because of habitat loss as forests are cut down for agriculture and infrastructure.
4. Which large mammal is known as a "true forest gardener" because some forest fruits will only germinate after passing through its digestive system?

Answer: African forest elephant

African forest elephants roam in the rainforests of west and central Africa. They eat more fruits from more tree species in the forest than most other large vertebrates. Many of the seeds that pass through their systems will only germinate once that occurs.

This means that African forest elephants are essential for the dispersal and germination of many rain forest trees. African forest elephants are facing destruction of their habitat, which is endangering their freedom to roam and survive.
5. The forest cobra is a venomous snake that lives in the Amazon rainforest.

Answer: False

The forest cobra is actually a venomous snake that is found in forests in central and western Africa. It can grow to up to approximately ten feet in length. Although bites to humans are rare, they should be considered life-threatening, and medical assistance should be immediately sought if they occur.
6. The gypsy moth is a forest insect that can cause defoliation and death of its host trees. What has been shown to be an important way that North American states and provinces control the spread of gypsy moths?

Answer: Prohibit the transport of firewood

Gypsy moths can be very destructive in forests because they eat leaves, causing defoliation. They lay their eggs in trees and shrubs, and often lay them on dead wood. By prohibiting the transport of firewood, state and provincial governments aim to reduce the chances of introducing the moth into new areas.
7. How do wood frogs survive the winters when it gets too cold for them to remain active?

Answer: They depend on chemicals in their systems to make them freeze tolerant

Wood frogs burrow in leaf litter in the fall and tolerate the freezing weather by accumulating urea and glucose in their blood and tissues. Both of these chemicals act as protections against freezing. They also allow the tissues to handle several freeze-thaw cycles if the winter weather gets warmer, then colder again.
8. Which owl is named after the environment in which it lives?

Answer: Boreal owl

Boreal owls live in the boreal forests of North America. They are also known as Tengmalm's owl and Richardson's owl in Europe. They are a nocturnal species that is very shy around humans so it is one of the least-studied owls in the forest. It is known that their diet consists of rodents, other birds, and insects. Boreal owls that have been banded have lived up to 16 years.
9. Woodpeckers have physical characteristics that prevent brain damage when they peck at trees.

Answer: True

Woodpeckers drum on trees to communicate with one another. They also excavate holes for nesting using the hammering of their bills. To protect their brains from the jarring, they have smooth brains nestled inside a sponge-like, but strong, skull that helps to absorb the energy from the pecking. Woodpeckers also have a relatively small amount of cerebrospinal fluid, which prevents the brain from moving around inside the skull. All of these help to protect the woodpecker from doing what comes naturally - pecking wood.
10. Which of these forest-dwelling mammals has earthworms as their most important food source?

Answer: Eurasian badger

The Eurasian badger is a nocturnal omnivore. Their most important food source is earthworms, but they also eat small rodents and rabbits, and fruit such as berries and apples. Eurasian badgers live in burrows in forests in Europe, Scandinavia, and western Russia, across to eastern Siberia.
