Beanie Babies A-Z Quiz Series - R

Answer: Radar

A palindrome is a word or phrase that is spelled the same front and back, like "mom" or "step on no pets." Radar is a black bat with red eyes. He is related to Batty.

"Radar the bat flies late at night
He can soar to an amazing height
If you see something as high as a star
Take a good look, it might be Radar!"

Answer: Reese

Both Reese and Twitch are guinea pigs. Rover is a red dog and Redford is a cardinal, which is a red bird. Reese is very curly and fuzzy, with brown and white hair all over.

"You won't find me in a zoo
I'll never scratch or bark at you
I'm better than a dog or cat
A guinea pig is where it's at!"

Answer: King Charles Spaniel

Regal is a mostly white dog with long-haired brown ears and a partly brown face. Spunky the dog is another spaniel, but he is a Cocker Spaniel.

"It's not easy being King
I just want to do my thing
I would rather jump and play
Than sit on my throne today!"

Answer: Dalmatian

Rescue is a Dalmatian with a red collar and an American flag on his right arm. He was made without a poem, but instead, this inscription...

"To honor our heroes
who lost their lives in the
national catastrophe that
took place on September 11, 2001.
We mourn for them and express our
deepest sympathy to their families.

God Bless America"

Answer: Ricochet

Ricochet is a kangaroo. But unlike Pouch the kangaroo, there is more to the baby joey than just a head. In fact, the entire body is in that pouch, so if you pulled the joey out you would have a whole new toy to play with.

"As if I'm on a pogo stick
I jump and bounce; I move so quick
I'll ricochet on by so fast
You'll barely see me hopping past!"

Answer: Ringo

Ringo is a brown raccoon with black stripes around his tail and black eye spots, like a mask. Raccoons are nocturnal, and love shiny things, and anything they can eat.

"Ringo hides behind his mask
He will come out, if you should ask
He loves to chitter. He loves to chatter
Just about anything, it doesn't matter!"

Answer: Rocket

Rocket is a blue jay. Redford is the only other "R" bird. The other two do not exist.

"Rocket is the fastest blue jay ever
He flies in all sorts of weather
Aerial tricks are his specialty
He's so entertaining for you and me!"

Answer: Rootbeer

Ronnie and Racer are both bears. Racer comes in several different colors. Rooftop is a reindeer. Rootbeer is a dark brown pug dog with a black, wrinkly mouth and nose.

"A scoop of ice cream in a mug
For me, your most favorite pug
Add root beer for the perfect treat
Grab a straw! C'mon let's eat!"

Answer: Brum-ba

There was once a restaurant here in my hometown called "Potato Brumbas," but Rumba does not use this in his poem! Rumba is a fat tiger. He has a light orange body with brown stripes, and his stomach is white.

"Let's toot the horns and beat the drum-ba
C'mon and play and don't be glum-ba
It doesn't matter where you're from-ba
We'll do the dance that's called the rum-ba!"

Answer: All of these

On the Ty Beanie Babies official website, they call Runner a "mustelidae." Mustelidae is the scientific term for the weasel family. In Runner's poem, they call him a weasel, a ferret, a mongoose, and a mink. Since most mustelidae look like Runner, you can make him whatever you want to make him!

"A ferret, mongoose, weasel or mink
What am I...what do you think?
Find a book, look and see
I'm whatever you want me to be!"
