Emus are indigenous to Australia but can be found elsewhere.

Answer: Lemming

Lemmings can be found in several places, but live in the icy regions of northern Scandinavia and NE Asia.

3. I am a type of dolphin but you would not know that if I introduced myself to you. I believe that I have gotten a bum rap after I saw a movie made about me. I am a carnivore, however. Who am I?

Answer: Killer Whale

The movie I was referring to was "Orca". They are the largest members of the dolphin family.

4. I am considered to be a type of cockroach and do admit that I see them at family reunions. However, unlike my earth-bound counterparts, I can fly. I am also a sizable fellow. Who am I?

Answer: Palmetto Bug

They live in tropical areas and usually make their home in palm trees.

Answer: Newt

There are three types: aquatic ones, terrestrial, and semi-aquatic.

6. I like to go by the alias "ant bear" because I used to have a fake ID that said I was one. I can also be found as the very first animal in the dictionary. Who am I?

Answer: aardvark

Aardvarks resemble a cross between a pig and a rat, as they are mammals with big snouts.

Answer: manatee

There are many "Save the Manatee" foundations. You can even "adopt" one. They are gentle herbivores.

8. I'm closely related to the world's largest monkey, the mandrill. I just looked in the mirror to admire my long, naked, dog-like muzzle. Who am I?

Answer: Baboon

Baboons live in troops to avoid predators, such as the leopard. However, they also do this to avoid attacks from other, quarrelsome baboons. Chimpanzees, gorillas and orangutans are all members of the ape family rather than being monkeys.

Answer: Dodo

Dodo birds were discovered in 1598 and were extinct by 1681. They got the name "dodo" for the way they walked as they stumbled about like a baby learning to walk or an inebriated person. Many people killed these birds and the rest were killed by predators introduced to them by man such as the dog and pig.

Answer: Asp

Asps are not indigenous to Egypt so this may also be folklore. However, they are very venomous and are related to adders.
