FunTrivia Animals Mix: Vol 2 Trivia Quiz

Answer: Pomeranian

Take the first three letters each from "Pomeranian" and "poodle", and place an "a" in-between, and you get "pomapoo". Bear in mind that these mixes (like Labradoodle, cockapoo, etc.), as lovable as they are, are not actually breeds. Nor are they really hybrids because they are all of the same species.

They are pedigreed but mixed-breed dogs; they are just like the doggie you found at the shelter except for the detailed family history and the expense.

Question by player gracious1

Answer: Zombie worm

Discovered in 2002, 3000 meters deep off California on the decaying bone of a grey whale, osedax, which means "bone-eater" in Latin, is a small worm (2 to 7 cm). It digs through whale bones by secreting an acid from its skin that dissolves the bone so it can reach the lipids on which it feeds. Osedax lacks a mouth or stomach, so it digests the proteins and fats found within the bone with the help of bacteria.

Question by player Triviaballer

Answer: It climbs trees to avoid predators

The platypus is indeed an egg laying mammal along with the echidna. They are known as monotremes and are both found in Australia. The male has venomous spurs on its hind legs which can cause a very painful injury. They are a mostly aquatic animal and therefore can't climb trees.

Loggerheads are sea turtles that can grow as big as 800 lbs (about 363 kg). They have yellowy brown skin and their shells are reddish brown in colour. Those that survive into adulthood usually live for a long time, with some individuals living for almost 200 years.

Question by player unterkircher

Answer: they have no stomach

Researchers have theories but are not entirely sure why at some point in evolutionary history both species evolved the stomach out of their digestive systems. Not only that but in the case of the platypus (and its monotreme cousin the echidna) they lost the genetic sequencing to bring the stomach back in "short" time (geologically speaking) and their bodies would have to reinvent them from scratch should conditions ever make stomachs overwhelmingly advantageous for them again. Both the carp and platypus conduct digestion entirely in the intestines. Carp like all fish are cold blooded and though platypuses run a little bit cooler than most mammals, they still have internal temperature regulation which qualifies as warm blooded. Carp follow the normal fish diagram of fins and scales as compared to the mammalian feet and fur of the platypus.
