Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

Answer: tiger

Then the two men, obviously geniuses, looked into the box and provoked the dog inside.

2. Was the Wanshang Dhole, the mystical Asian dog, still in the box when Dr. Detweiler, the cryptozoologist, arrived?

Answer: no

All they found in the crate was the two mauled bodies of the ship's workers.

3. When Scully stopped by Mulder's office to say goodbye, she asked, "Aren't you goin' home?" Mulder responded that he was home and then said what?

Answer: "I'm just feathering the nest."

Mulder was putting up pictures of the attack victims on his wall.

4. At the customs agent's home, was the agent's dog killed before the agent?

Answer: yes

The agent bent down to find his dog dead, and when he turned around he saw the Wanshang Dhole and was attacked himself.

5. What in Karin's home was similar to Mulder's office?

Answer: "I want to believe" poster

Scully and Mulder were browsing through her home, noting her preference for animals over people. Scully saw the poster and commented, "Well, she seems to have made a connection to you." After having spoken to Karin, Mulder confessed that he had met her online, but assured Scully that they were just "two professionals, exchanging information." At the end of the episode, Mulder received the poster from Karin's kennel in the mail.

6. When the Wanshang Dhole attacked Frank Fiedler, the officer from US Fish and Wildlife, what did it appear as first?

Answer: human

It had the shape of a human as it approached Fiedler. Then it hunkered down and assumed dog form. After the officer saw this, he had just enough time to be horrified before the animal attacked him.

7. What did Karin point out was odd about the paw print?

Answer: 5 toes instead of 4

The animal, she said, had a pre-evolutionary vestigial toe.

8. Over which object did Mulder make physical contact with Karin?

Answer: computer mouse

Karin was manipulating a picture of the paw print on her computer, and Mulder reached out and moved the mouse, touching Karin's hand while doing so. Scully seemed perturbed that Karin might have ulterior motives in getting Mulder out to see her and left the room.

9. What did Karin suffer from?

Answer: photosensitivity

She found it ironic that "lupus" was part of the condition's Latin name, because the condition was what kept her from living in nature with wolves.

10. The Wanshang Dhole was shot to death.

Answer: False

Karin lured him into leaping at her so they'd fall through a window. The Wanshang Dhole was impaled on the fence below and Karin was killed by the fall. When Scully and Mulder arrived at the scene, though, the animal had resumed Dr. Detweiler's form and no longer looked like a dog.
