Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. What is the name of this colorful great ape, which is found only on the islands of Borneo and Sumatra?

Answer: Orangutan

The orangutan is the only great ape that is found only in Asia. Its name is derived from a Malaysian word that means "man of the forest". Orangutans are some of the most intelligent animals on the planet, have long reddish hair, and are one of the few animals known to use tools. Habitat loss is causing a decline in population and puts them in grave danger of extinction.
2. Where is the mouth of a jellyfish located?

Answer: On its underside

The mouth of a jellyfish is located on its underside. Food goes directly from this opening to a cavity that acts as its stomach. These nutrients reach parts of the jellyfish's body through radial canals. All waste matter created from the ingestion of food is then expelled out through the same orifice that it came in.
3. Look at the image closely. Now, tell me what is the name of this unusual animal?

Answer: Red-eyed tree frog

Found in the rainforests of Central America, the brightly colored red-eyed tree frog feasts on insects, and other small frogs. It has bright red eyes, orange toes, and streaks of blue on its green body. They live their lives in the trees and use their bright coloring to confuse or scare off other predators.
4. Look kids! It's a white whale! What is the proper name of this unusual mammal?

Answer: Beluga whale

This amazing animal is known as a beluga whale. They are a brownish gray color when young and turn white as they age. These whales live in small packs in the freezing Arctic ocean and feed on fish, worms, and crustaceans. Belugas have an intricate language that involves clicks, whistles and clangs.
5. What is the name of this beautiful vibrantly red fish?

Answer: Red betta fish

Red betta fish are small freshwater fish that are very popular amongst aquarium owners. Native to the country of Thailand, the betta will eat almost anything. They have been known to eat worms, larva, insects, and other small fish. Betta fish come in many colors and are sometimes known as Siamese fighting fish.
6. The scientific name for this snake is Ahaetulla nasuta, but it is more commonly called which of the following names?

Answer: Green vine snake

The Ahaetulla nasuta is known as the green vine snake or the long-nosed whip snake. This tree-loving snake is active during the day when it counts on its lovely green color and head shape to provide protective camouflage. This snake is mildly venomous, and makes its home in the dense forest areas of Indian subcontinent.
7. Christopher Columbus discovered the peacock in 1492 on his first trip to North America.

Answer: False

Peafowl are native to the Indian subcontinent, not North America. They were known in Europe for a couple of centuries before Columbus set out to "discover" America. Male peafowl are called peacocks, females are peahens, and their babies are called peachicks. The fancy, brightly colored feathers of peacocks are used to attract females.
8. What kind of fish was Nemo, the star of the 2003 Disney film "Finding Nemo"?

Answer: Clownfish

Nemo was a clown fish, a small saltwater fish that makes its home inside the sea anemone. They can be found mainly in the warm waters of the Indian and the Pacific Oceans. It is thought that the bright colors of the clownfish may function to lure other fish to the sea anemone in which they live, so that the anemone can eat them.

They in turn eat the fecal matter from the anemone and clean algae from the tentacles.
9. This photo shows a picture of two crayon birds.

Answer: False

These beautiful birds are called rainbow lorikeets not crayon birds. They are found in Australia, Indonesia, and many of the islands in the area. Unlike most birds, the female rainbow lorikeet is as colorful as the male.
10. On which continent would you find the poison dart frog living in the wild?

Answer: South America

All varieties of poison dart frogs are found in the rainforests of Central and South America. All dart frogs are poisonous but vary in toxicity and color. They have been used for centuries by local tribes to get poison for their hunting spears. Their bright colors are meant as a warning to other animals to leave them alone.
