Its name comes from the Spanish "El legato" for lizard. The alpaca is related to the llama, is found in South America,and is known for it's wool.

Answer: No

Aries is the sign of the ram. Ares is the Greek god of war. Did I getcha on that one?

9. In Sue Grafton's alphabet detective series, what is A for?

Answer: Alibi

I love this series. They are a series of detective/mysteries. She's going through the whole alphabet with her book titles. After attempting an alphabetic quiz, I have newfound respect for her.

10. What is the name of the Wizard's Prison in Harry Potter?

Answer: Azkaban

So far my favorite movie of the series. The book was one of the best of the series, too. The prison was staffed by Dementors who would literally suck the happiness and joy out of your life. I highly recommend this movie if you haven't seen any of them. Azerbaijan is an Asian country on the Caspian Sea, and the other two I just made up.
