Animal Farm Trivia Quiz

Answer: Orangutan

An orangutan has long orange fur and it climbs and sleeps in trees. The word "orangutan" comes from the Malay and means "man of the forest".

Answer: Galapagos tortoise

Tortoises are also called "land turtles". This is because they live on the land. Turtles, however, live mainly in the water (though they are born on the land).

Of course, some of these water turtles can also be found on land. Snapping turtles are turtles that can live on both water and land.

Answer: Chicken

Though many think that chickens cannot fly, this is not true. Chickens can fly, but not very far. A chicken's flight is more like a paraglider than a plane; it can go pretty far, but it does land much sooner because its wings cannot keep it up for very long.

Answer: Antelope

Llamas, alpacas, vicunas, and guanacos are all in the same class as the dromedary and bactrian camels, which is the camelid family. The antelope is related to the camel because it is an even-toed ungulate, which means it has a hoof with two toes, but it is not a camelid.

Answer: Reindeer

Caribou and reindeer are one in the same. Though reindeer are often thought of as make-believe flying animals that Santa uses for his sleigh, they actually do exist! However, reindeer cannot actually fly, and they don't have red lighted noses, either.

Answer: Sloth

An ai is a type of three-toed sloth. Sloths move very slowly; so slowly that sometimes they even grow algae in their fur. Their fur is also unique because it goes up on their body as opposed to down like most other animals. Sid from "Ice Age" is a sloth (though he moves pretty fast).

Answer: Wolf

A wolf is a large canine that lives in many parts of the world. They are commonly heard at night in Yellowstone National Park. Wolves come in many different kinds: gray wolf, red wolf, and arctic wolf, to name a few.

Also, if someone eats quickly and messily, they are said to "wolf" their food down.

Answer: Lion

The animal I have on my farm is a mountain lion, which is much different from a regular lion. A mountain lion is also called a cougar, a mountain cat, a puma, a catamount, and a panther.

Even though it is called a panther, a black panther is actually either a jaguar or a leopard, depending on its location.

Answer: Komodo dragon

Though all of these lizards can grow to be very large, the komodo dragon is the largest. It lives on some islands of Indonesia, and its bite can be deadly. It is not poisonous, though. Its mouth does contain a lot of bacteria that can infect the bloodstream, however, and that is what can prove to be deadly.

It is thought that the komodo dragon is so large because over time, it grew to such a large size because it had no natural competitors, and thus became the top of the food chain on the islands.

Answer: Pygmy shrew

The pygmy shrew is extremely tiny. It is the smallest mammal in the world, although the bumblebee bat has a smaller skull. The pygmy shrew is also called the Etruscan shrew, and it grows only around 3-4.5 centimeters in length. Most shrews are smaller than an average mouse, but the Etruscan shrew takes the cake as being the world's smallest mammal.
