Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

2. A streak is the collective term for which animal?

Answer: tiger

Tigers, the world's largest natural cats (the liger, male lion/female tiger is larger) , are good swimmers and enjoy cooling off in water. There are five species of tiger left; Siberian, South China, Indochinese, Bengal and Sumatran.

Answer: pace

A pace is the term for a group of asses. But what is the difference between a mule and an ass I hear you say. A mule is the result of crossing a mare (female horse) with a jackass (male donkey). A donkey is a domesticated ass. So a mule and an ass are quite similar but not the same. Got it.

A herd of deer, a troop of kangaroos and a scurry or dray of squirrels. A marten is a small predator related to weasels. Thanks for playing.
