Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. My friend Tom loves elephants. What color are elephants usually?

Answer: gray

There are two main types of elephants. Of these African elephants are a light gray color, while Indian elephants have a darker grayish color.
2. Sometimes I can be so forgetful. Can you remind me which of these animals might have been used more than any others during the American Civil War?

Answer: horses and mules

The American Civil War was fought from 1861-1865 between the North and South. These are also referred to as the Union forces (North) and the Confederacy (South). Horses and mules were used to transport soldiers and goods from place to place.
3. Arctic animals really fascinate me and I especially love polar bears. Can you tell me what the correct name for a baby polar bear is?

Answer: cub

Baby polar bears are called cubs. These are born sheltered away from the elements in the relative safety of the mother's den. The den is warmer than outside because of the heat released by the bears.
4. When I'm relaxing after a hard day's work by answering a few quiz questions, I also like to treat myself with a row or two of chocolate. While not harmful to humans, for which animal or animals is chocolate like poison?

Answer: all of these

All chocolate comes from cacao beans. In addition a milk chocolate bar will contain sugar, milk, cocoa butter, lecithin and flavorings (like vanilla). It may also contain a few lesser ingredients.

Chocolate poisoning (toxicosis) in animals is caused by the methylxanthine alkaloids in chocolate. The poison affects many organs and dogs are the most vunerable. However the toxin has also been known to cause harm to, or even kill, cats, birds and other animals such as reptiles.
5. Pigeons are a fairly common type of bird in many places around the world. Pigeons have been used for various purposes over the years. Which is not one of these?

Answer: to chase away a bird of prey

Baby pigeons, called squabs, are a delicacy to eat. During both World Wars pigeons were used to carry messages. Pigeons are also used by hobbyists for racing.
6. There are few sights as beautiful as a rainbow. Which of the following is an animal that has the word rainbow in its name?

Answer: Trout

The colors that can be seen in a rainbow are easy to remember if you use the ROYGBIV method. R stands for red, O for orange, Y for yellow, G for green, B for blue, I for indigo and finally V for violet.

The rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) is a species native to Asia and North America. The fish are sometimes referred to as salmon trout and have been introduced to around 45 nations around the world.
7. The United States is a vast country, both in terms of area and also population. Which of the following would there be the most of in the entire USA?

Answer: flies

Worldwide there are over 150,000 types of flies that have been discovered. Flies breed and so multiply rapidly.
8. I'm Timmy and I'm 8. My mother said I could choose a new pet after my old one sadly died. I need some advice. Which of these would not generally be considered an animal that would make a good pet for me?

Answer: Raccoon

Since adult raccoons can bite and become vicious and destructive, they are generally not regarded as being good pets for children. This is due to the fact that they are inherently still very much a wild animal, even if they are cute when they are babies.
9. What animal is said to howl when there is a full moon?

Answer: wolf

There is much debate over whether wolves actually howl because of the full moon. Many people suggest that wolves howl during other moon phases as well, simply as a way of communicating with each other.
10. You live in a house on a small suburban block. Which of the following animals is your Mom most likely to choose as a pet for you?

Answer: cat

Cats make great pets, while the other animals mentioned are not suitable for a small suburban block.
