Question by player stedman

Answer: Monarch butterfly

Unable to overwinter as larvae or pupae like other butterflies, the monarch is the only butterfly known to make a two-way seasonal migration in the same way birds do. There are two populations in North America, Eastern and Western. The monarch butterflies of the Eastern population (east of the Rocky Mountains, that is) spend the winter in Mexico, then migrate into Texas and the Southern Plains states. From there they advance toward the Great Lakes, and by early summer they reach Canada and northeastern United States. Beginning in September, the butterflies go back the way they came.

Although you may find monarch butterflies in Hawaii, Puerto Rico, or even New Zealand, they probably arrived there blown by storms or transported by humans, and they are not part of this annual migration.

Question by player ROIdude

Answer: American eel

The freshwater eel is justifiably famous as a food fish. Entire restaurants in Japan are devoted to its preparation. Jellied eels are a traditional food of England, being pretty much what it sounds like: bits of eel in fish-flavored Jello. And although it has fallen out of favor in the U.S., eel could be considered America's first fish: when Squanto taught the Pilgrims how to forage for food in their new homeland, the first lesson was how to catch eels.

Question by player WeirdAlLover

Answer: Boxer

It was the playful, inquisitive, devoted, fearless and outgoing Boxer. Most sources agreed the breed was developed in Germany during the mid-nineteenth century. Yes, the breed was "developed"; that is, two or more breeds were cross-bred to establish certain characteristics in their offspring that would then "breed true"; or, their offspring would consistently display those characteristics.

Although, the image of two dogs rising on their hind legs to "box" (or, jab with their front paws) might be amusing it is unlikely that was the origin of the breed's name.

As mentioned in the question, there was no definite reason why the breed became known as "Boxer". One source mentioned the German word "boxl" (roughly translated into English as "short trousers") was used to describe the breed because the dogs were bred to be shorter than the Bullenbeisser - one of the breeds in their lineage - and the term "boxer" was a mispronunciation of that word. For more information about the Boxer you may refer to and/or contact one of these breed registries - among others: American Canine Association Inc., American Kennel Club, Canadian Kennel Club, Continental Kennel Club, Federation Cynologique Internationale, United Kennel Club
