Ant Eaters Trivia Quiz

Answer: Elephant

There are three species of elephants alive today. These are the African bush elephant, the African forest elephant, and the Asian elephant. The Asian elephant is also sometimes known as the Indian elephant. The elephant is the largest animal existing on land. Therefore, it takes a whopping 22 months of pregnancy before a baby elephant is born! The African elephants are much larger than the Asian elephant. There was, however, once a larger elephant, known as a mammoth. These large beasts were covered with fur and their tusks could grow over ten feet long! They have since become extinct. Elephants today aren't nearly as big, but if you are stepped on by a several ton beast, it still poses a threat!

Answer: Panther

Black panthers are considered to be solid black. However, this is not the case. As they are actually leopards, they have spots. They are very dark gray, which is why it is hard to see. However, if you get close enough to them, you can vaguely see the ringlets. Panthers can also be white, just like a white tiger or white lion. There is also, of course, the Pink Panther.

Answer: Antelope

An antelope is an animal that is a fast runner. Many of these, like the gazelle, have predators that are much faster than them. Therefore, to escape enemies, the antelope will run in zigzags, although this does not always keep them from being eaten.

Answer: Manta Ray

The manta ray is the largest ray. It can also be called the Atlantic manta (ooh, hey, a DOUBLE "ant" animal), Pacific manta, or just a manta. Technically, the manta ray is not related to stingrays as closely as they have been associated. But due to common beliefs, the manta ray is associated closely with the stingray. Steve Irwin died when a stingray's barb pierced him in the chest. Doctors said he would have survived if he hadn't have pulled the barb from his chest. Of course, when something pierces you, your first instinct is to get it out!
