Mixed Animals for Kids Trivia Questions

1. What animal is often used on tours of the Grand Canyon (people ride on them)?

From Quiz
Amazing Animals!

Answer: Mules

Mules are very sure-footed, which enables them to carry things down the steep paths of the Grand Canyon. They do well carrying heavy loads.

2. Ants are able to "march" because they have legs. How do snakes move?

From Quiz The Ants Go Marching One By One

Answer: They slither

Snakes slither across the ground in order to get from one place to another. They can't crawl because they don't have legs. Instead of legs, they use their ribs and their scales to move, sliding on their belly. They can move very fast doing this.

3. In which country might you see a koala bear in the wild?

From Quiz Animals for Children

Answer: Australia

Koalas are not really bears at all but marsupials. This means that they have pouches in which they carry their babies. They live in eucalyptus trees and mainly eat eucalyptus leaves.

4. This noisy animal looks like it's wearing a bandit mask, and it's trying to get into the rubbish bins to look for food.

From Quiz Things That Go Bump In the Night

Answer: Raccoon

It's a raccoon! They have long fingers on their front paws, and they really know how to use them.

5. This black and white animal is a member of the horse family. What is its name?

From Quiz A Trip to the Zoo

Answer: Zebra

Zebras are native to Africa, and live in large family groups. Unlike most members of the horse family, zebras have not been tamed and used for carrying goods. All the other animals are black and white and you could probably see a skunk or a Malayan tapir at the zoo as well. The Dalmatian is a dog, though, and is more likely to be found living in your home. Question written by rossian.

6. Where would an African lion usually live in the wild?

From Quiz A Place to Call Home

Answer: scrubby grassland

African lions usually live in grasslands and lower growing scrub to make it easier to hunt. They mostly sleep during the day and hunt at night.

7. "Slimy! Not in my house!" I loved turning over rocks around my house to see what was under them. What slippery green creature had I gotten my hands around?

From Quiz Not In My House!

Answer: frog

Frogs are slippery, green amphibians. They live near water, or cool and damp places like under rocks. Because of this, they are usually slimy and dirty, which is why mom didn't want it in her house!

8. Where would you find a forelock on a horse?

From Quiz Animal Anatomy

Answer: On its head

A forelock is that part of a horse's mane that falls between its ears. Not to be confused with the fetlock, which is the joint just above the hoof.

From Quiz Animals

Answer: Cat

Cats can be found in places such as Africa in the wild. Common types of wild cats include lions and leopards.

10. This hooting bird with big eyes hunts for small animals such as mice during the night. What is it called?

From Quiz Do Animals Get Insomnia?

Answer: owl

Owls usually hunt small mammals such as mice, but some also hunt insects, fish and other birds. Their big eyes are located on the front of their head, which helps them locate their prey in dim light.

11. What is the longest insect?

From Quiz Animal Records

Answer: stick insect

The stick insect is the longest insect in the world. The females are longer than the males measuring 33 cm (13 inches) from head to the tip of the abdomen.

12. The Goliath beetle is the largest insect today. On average, how much does a male beetle weigh?

From Quiz All About Animals

Answer: 3-4 ounces

Goliath beetles are the the biggest insects alive today. In contrast to most other insects, the Goliath adult male would be at least as big as a blue whale!

13. What is another name for the piked whale?

From Quiz Animal Animania!

Answer: minke whale

The minke or piked whale is the smallest of the rorqual group. They are very curious about boats and up to 1,000 of these whales are sometimes found in a single area in Antarctic waters, feeding on both plankton and fish.

14. An adult jaguar has yellow eyes. What color are the eyes of baby jaguars when they are born?

From Quiz Animal Fun Facts For Kids

Answer: Blue

Jaguars are the largest cats in North and South America. The Puma (mountain lion) is the second biggest. All the other great cats live in Asia or Africa.

15. Big, bigger, biggest! The biggest animal in the world is a kind of whale. What is the biggest whale?

From Quiz The Biggest Animals for Kids!

Answer: The Blue Whale

The bull (male) Blue whale can grow to 100 feet long and weigh over 100 tons. That makes it the largest animal that ever lived; larger even, than dinosaurs. Blue Whales have no teeth. They eat small sea creatures such as shrimp and krill.

16. The fastest animal on four legs is the cheetah. How fast can it run?

From Quiz Animals

Answer: 110 km/hr

The cheetah can run at 110km per hour. It's prey is usually zebra, impala and wildebeest.

17. Where does a domestic pig live?

From Quiz Where Do They Live?

Answer: sty

Pigs are farm animals. They spend their time in a sty. Most sties have an undercover area as well as an open area.

18. This lizard is often green, but can change the colour of its skin. It has a long tongue and big round eyes on the sides of its head, and lives in Africa, Asia and southern Europe. Some people keep it as a pet. Which animal is this?

From Quiz Who's Who in the Zoo

Answer: Chameleon

When you think of chameleons, you'll probably think of the colour-changing skin. Not all species of chameleon can do this, but those that do use it for camouflage and regulating their body temperatures. Darker colours warm them up, while light colours help them keep cool or maintain their body temperatures. Chameleons living in jungles tend to be green, while the ones living in deserts are browner. The eyes on the side of the chameleon's head move independently of each other and give them a wider picture of what's going on around them. They use their long tongues to catch prey, just like frogs.

19. What do you call a group of dogs?

From Quiz A Selection of Animals for Curious Kids

Answer: A Pack

In real life, it's unlikely that any of the species of hare mentioned would lose a race to a tortoise as they are generally capable of reaching speeds of up to 80 kilometres per hour (50 miles per hour).
