Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. As sly (or cunning) as a _______?

Answer: fox

"Sly" means "sneaky." Foxes have to be sneaky so they can sneak up on their prey. They eat small animals like mice.

2. As strong as an _______?

Answer: ox

Oxen are large, strong cows. In some countries people use them to pull heavy carts and farm machines. An ostrich is a huge, long-legged bird that can't fly, and an ocelot is a big wild cat with beautiful spotted fur.

3. As quiet as a _______?

Answer: mouse

Mice are sometimes not so quiet--when they skitter around on wood floors, their bitty little claws make noise.

4. As brave as a _______?

Answer: lion

If you saw the movie "The Wizard of Oz," you know that lions can be cowardly, too.

5. As happy as a _______?

Answer: clam or lark

When I wrote this quiz I had no idea how the saying "happy as a clam" started. (How can people possibly know whether or not clams are happy?) But a player points out that, if you draw a clam, you will see that it looks as if it is always smiling!

6. As wise as an _______?

Answer: owl

I guess owls' round, flat faces and big staring eyes make them look wise. They hunt at night and they are always asking, "Whoooo?"

7. As gentle as a _______?

Answer: lamb

Llamas are wooly, camel-like animals. Leopards and lynxes are big cats that are NOT gentle (except maybe with their babies). Can you name the nursery rhyme that has a lamb in it?

8. As proud as a _______?

Answer: peacock

Peacocks have huge colorful tail feathers. They open them up to form a giant, showy fan of feathers. They do this to attract females (peahens), not because they are conceited. A pangolin is like an armadillo--it has scaly armor even though it is a mammal.

9. As weak as a _______.

Answer: kitten

Kittens are weaker than people, but my kitten Jack is pretty strong. He is always knocking things over. My big dog Lisa is afraid of him.

10. If you act shy, someone might ask, "_______ got your tongue?"

Answer: Cat

It would hurt if a cat got your tongue!
