Unusually Ugly Ungulates Trivia Quiz

Answer: Ice Age

"Ice Age" was released in 2002, and several sequels followed in years to come. In the beginning of the film, an entire family of tapirs are seen playing in a tar pit, and the dad yells to his children, "Come on kids, you can play extinct later!" In another scene, one of the young tapirs randomly says, "Sometimes, I throw up!" The other animals look at her, and continue their conversation.

Unfortunately, the tapir does not play a large role in the film.

Answer: Dr. G. Raffe

Dr. G. Raffe made his first appearance in the early 1950s on paper advertisements for Toys R Us. He finally reached television sets in 1973. In 1975, Geoffrey's wife Gigi was introduced, as well as two children: Junior and Baby Gee (used for Baby's R Us ads). In 1999, though, his family was taken out of the spotlight, and Geoffrey became a kid himself to appeal to the child population even more than a grown giraffe with family. In 2001, he was transformed again to become a real-life giraffe instead of a cartoon, and became a cartoon once again in 2007.

He has most certainly had his fair share of transformations!

Answer: Serta

Serta was created in 1931, with the merge of several companies, though it did not receive its name until 1933. It took a long time for the famous Serta "Counting Sheep" to appear; it was in 2000 that they were introduced. They became famous rather quickly, though, and in 2008 they were named the Advertising Icons of the Year.

Answer: Caribou Coffee

Caribou Coffee was founded in Minnesota in 1992. In 2010, it had become the second largest non-franchised coffee shop chain in the United States--behind none other than Starbucks. In 2010, Caribou Coffee made a new logo, cleverly using a coffee been as the body of the caribou.

Answer: Racing Stripes

"Racing Stripes" was released in 2005. Stripes, the young zebra (Muniz), wanted nothing more to run in the Kentucky Derby. The young horses never thought he could do it; his legs were shorter, and he was simply not cut out to run in a horse race. His owner, Channing (Hayden Panatierre), was also given flak on the human side of things. No one thought she could ride a wild zebra, especially not in a professional horse race.

Of course, nothing would stop the pair, and the zebra did indeed race. But as to whether he won or not, I'll let you watch the movie to find out.

Answer: He suffers from bad gas

Pumbaa was first introduced in 1994 when the first "Lion King" movie was released. He also appeared "The Lion King II" (he was a favorite among fans, how could you leave him out?) as well as "The Lion King 1 1/2", which was the same story from Timon and Pumbaa's viewpoint.

Poor Pumbaa suffered from horrible gas, though, which turned away everyone, including his family. Timon did not care, however, because he was only a meerkat, and just about anything will eat a meerkat. Therefore, he welcomed the stench, as it kept away even the most vicious of animals.

Answer: Murray

Murray is a pink hippo who met Sly Cooper when they were both very young. They met at an orphanage, along with Bentley. The three became lifelong friends, and always stick together. Bentley is a turtle, Carmelita is a fox, and Dimitri is a lizard.

Murray made his first appearance in the first "Sly Cooper" game, "The Thievius Raccoonus", in 2002.

Answer: Muffin

"If You Give a Mouse a Cookie" was released in 1985, and written by Laura Numeroff. In 1991, she released the sequel to this children's story, entitled "If You Give a Moose a Muffin".

If you haven't read the book, believe me, you do NOT want to give a mouse a cookie, or a moose a muffin.

Answer: Gazelle

The Gazelle was created by Tony Little as a full-body workout machine, though it mainly focuses on the legs. The machine acts as a stepper and treadmill combination, but it does not plug in anywhere, so the movement of your own legs gives you the workout. This allows you to make it as intense as you see fit. There are also handles to hold on to, if you want an arm workout as well.

Answer: Kuzco

Kuzco was the name of the emperor who didn't care about anyone else in 2000's "The Emperor's New Groove". Of course, he didn't care, until he became a llama. The evil Yzma, who wanted to take his throne, had Kronk give him poison to kill him, but he gave him llama extract instead.
