3. What animal can survive long periods of time without water?

Answer: camel

Camels are known to be the animals who can sustain themselves for long periods of time without drinking water. To be able to survive in the desert environment, a camel can drink up to 120 liters of water at one time. The camel humps also contain large amounts of fat, made up of food sources.

4. Among the flying birds, which is considered the tallest?

Answer: Sarus crane

Standing around 1.5 to 1.8 meter, the sarus crane is considered as the world's tallest extant flying bird. They were formerly widely distributed in south and southeast Asia, including the Philippines, but the conversion of wetlands into farms and excessive hunting dwindled the population of these magnificent birds.

5. The Belgian shepherd dog breed is subdivided into four varieties or sub breeds. Which of the following is NOT a Belgian shepherd dog?

Answer: Corgi

Agile, intelligent, hard working dogs, similar in many ways to both the Dutch and German shepherd dog. The Malinois in particular is rapidly growing in popularity with police/armed forces around the world.
6. Which animals are included in the biological order Lepidoptera?

Question by player timence
7. A monotreme is the name given to a mammal which exhibits what extremely unusual behaviour?

Answer: It lays eggs

There are only two existing animals in the world known to be monotremes. They are the platypus and several species of echidna. The platypus is a fascinating creature, not just because of its unique appearance and monotremism, but because the male of the species has a venomous spur on its hind foot, making it one of very few venomous mammals in the world.

Question by player candy-pop
8. Which aquatic animal's scientific name is Monodon monoceros?

Answer: Narwhal

"One-tooth one-horn", as the narwal's scientific names translates from Greek, is a whale that lives in the frigid Arctic waters. Although it is also called the "unicorn of the sea" its spiraled tusk is not really a horn but a tooth, precisely its left canine tooth that can grow up to 10 ft (3 m) long.

In rare cases a male narwal may develop both canine teeth. Female narwals have either very short tusks or none at all. Scientists speculate that the tusk is most likely a gender-specific sexual trait, like antlers or feathers.

9. The whippet is an English sighthound bred for racing and hare-coursing. Under the American Kennel Club breed standard, what kind of coat should a whippet have?

Answer: short, close, smooth and firm

The AKC Breed Standard attempts to define the ideal or perfect specimen of any given breed of dog. For the whippet, the AKC Standard calls for a coat that is short, close, smooth and firm in texture. Any other coat shall be a disqualification. Old scars and injuries, the result of work or accident, should not be allowed to prejudice the dog's chance in the show ring.

10. In 2014, a sport fisherman posted a video of his loss of a shark from his fishing line. What huge, large-mouthed fish related to sea basses caused him to lose the shark?

Answer: A goliath grouper swallowed it whole.

A goliath grouper gulped the four feet (1.2 meter) long black-tip shark down in one bite. The video, taken off the coast of Bonita Springs, Florida, became an internet sensation when posted in August, 2014. The Atlantic goliath grouper (Epinephelus itajara), sometimes called a jewfish, can grow as long as 10 feet (3 meters) and weigh up to 790 pounds (360kg).
