Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. At the very start of the opening we see the clock tower at the zoo. Figures of two animals are striking the bell. What kind of animals are these and how are they making the bell sound out?

Answer: Two chimpanzees striking the bell with great hammers

The two chimps are seen whenever the clock tower is shown. They look a great deal like Phil and Mason.

Answer: Kowalski, Private, and Rico

It is hard to see as they go by pretty fast, but they do go by one at a time. I could get Skipper and Kowalski, but I had to record it and play it back in slow motion to get the last two.

Answer: Marlene the otter

Marlene is one of the smartest and most practical of the zoo friends. She spends a lot of time swimming so the dunk into her pond is no big deal.

4. After the Penguins fly off the slide we see them land in front of a big wooden crate. Each penguin has a job to do. What does Kowalski do?

Answer: He puts a doctor's stethoscope to the combination lock and starts to work on opening it.

This is the first hint we get that Kowalski is the brainy one. He is more likely to use cleverness rather than brute force to solve a problem.

5. Rico is next. As we might expect his contribution is to cough up something. What does he provide?

Answer: A crowbar

One can image a lot of tools of destruction he might produce. It turns out that since the Penguins don't want to destroy the crate, the crowbar is a good choice.

6. Private's role is pretty small in the opening. What does he do?

Answer: He catches what Rico spits out and hands it to Skipper

He seems as little surprised as the item flies over to him, but he handles it well. It is not much for him to do, but I think it shows he is one of the team and ready to help.

7. What does Skipper do in the opening?

Answer: He uses the crowbar to pry open the crate

It is a take charge sort of thing to do. I love the confident and determined look on his face.

8. Once the crate is opened they find the lemurs inside dancing to a lively beat. What kind of dance is Maurice doing?

Answer: The robot

Maurice is the only one I can figure out for sure. Mort might be break dancing, at least at one point he is spinning around on his head. Julian is just doing his funky bit.

9. The Penguins then zoom off. We see them scooting down a street and into an open manhole. Private is in the rear. What odd thing is he doing?

Answer: He is spinning around on his bottom

I think this shows that Private is the kid of the group and sees a lot of fun in life. The big smile he has in this scene helps me think that.

10. After the Penguins zoom through the tunnel they pop out in their habitat. They find themselves surrounded by zoo visitors. What does Skipper tell his team?

Answer: Cute and cuddly, boys

This is a line Skipper uses often in the episodes, and it tells us a lot about how the Penguins hide their special skills and activities from the humans.
