Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. Why would I wet a piece of white paper and place it under my pet while rubbing his fur?

Answer: To check for fleas

When fleas bite our pets they leave small drops of blood behind. When you rub your pets fur the small dried drops will fall on the white paper and show up as dark specks on the wet paper.

Question by player AdamM7
5. Animal behaviorists note three main reasons why squirrels chase each other. What is NOT one of them?

Answer: length of tail

Tail length is related to ecological profile, not behavior, although tail movements clearly are part of squirrel communication. Tree squirrels and flying squirrels tend to have longer tails, ground squirrels shorter. Young squirrels, like most mammal young, enjoy play; adult squirrels, again like most animals, have complex mating patterns which usually involve pursuit. Most commonly observable squirrel chasing is a more dominant individual driving a weaker one away from its territory or food source.

Question by player Nealzineatser
6. Which animal is an example of a dominance hierarchy in which males are dominant?

Answer: Gray wolves

Dominant hierarchies are social systems in which participants in the hierarchy have recognized rankings, with a "top" or leader and those underneath being subservient to the ones above. In the case of gray wolves, there is an alpha male. In others, as in spotted hyenas and elephants, females take the dominant roles. Honey bees are one of the best examples, as the female is dominant over the entire hive.

Question by player pitegny
7. What is the only species of venomous snake native to the United Kingdom?

Answer: Adder

The adder is a shy and timid snake and bites usually occur when it is accidentally disturbed or stepped on. Under UK law it is illegal to kill, injure, harm or sell adders.

Question by player Dolly_dxb
8. They live on an island off the coast of Panama. Which of these animals often gets drunk?

Answer: Mantled howler monkeys

While primates, bats and other mammals that eat lots of fruit and nectar are better able to metabolize alcohol than other animals, some mammals whose diets mostly lack fruit or nectar (cows, horses and elephants) are not suited well to alcohol metabolizing because they lack a functioning version of the ADH7 gene. The lucky mantled howler monkey on that island regularly eats fruit that has fallen from the Astrocaryum palm tree and which has 4.5% alcohol by volume.

The monkeys get loud and rambunctious and then fall into a sleepy stumbling state sometimes even falling out of the tree and injuring themselves.

When calculating their alcohol intake by body weight they often ingest the equivalent of two bottles of wine in half an hour.

9. Known to move up to speeds of 35 miles per hour, what camel gets its name from the Greek for "running"?

Answer: Dromedary

The dromedary is a one-humped camel found most extensively in the Middle East and Northern Africa. Being taller and faster than its relative the Bactrian camel, the dromedary can move at a pace of nearly 10 mph for hours at a time.

western Crete. It is very difficult to locate and is rarely seen by tourists.
Several are on display in the municipal zoo in the city of Chania, the second largest city on Crete.
