Questions and Answers

1.

Which of the following animals can't vomit?
- A.
  
  Horse
- B.
  
  Cat
- C.
  
  Dog
- D.
  
  Pig
Correct Answer
A. Horse

Explanation
Horses cannot vomit due to the structure of their esophagus and stomach. The lower esophageal sphincter in horses is very strong and acts as a one-way valve, preventing the contents of the stomach from going back up into the esophagus. Additionally, the angle at which the esophagus enters the stomach in horses is very acute, making it difficult for them to regurgitate food. This inability to vomit can be a disadvantage for horses as they are unable to relieve themselves of ingested toxins or irritants in the same way that other animals can.

Explanation
Crocodiles cannot chew because they have a unique jaw structure that only allows them to open their mouths and close them with great force. Their teeth are designed for gripping and tearing rather than chewing. Crocodiles use their powerful jaws to snatch and swallow their prey whole, relying on their strong stomach acids to break down the food.

  Thomas Sullivan

Explanation
Thomas Sullivan is credited with developing the tea bag. He was a tea merchant from New York who, in 1908, began distributing small silk bags filled with tea samples to his customers. The customers mistakenly assumed that they were supposed to steep the entire bag in hot water, rather than emptying the contents into a separate infuser. This led to the invention and popularization of the tea bag as a convenient way to brew tea.

How long does it take a sloth to digest it's food?
- A.
  
  24 hours
- B.
  
  4 days
- C.
  
  12 hours
- D.
  
  2 weeks
Correct Answer
D. 2 weeks

Explanation
Sloths have an extremely slow metabolic rate, which affects their digestion process. It takes them a significantly longer time to digest their food compared to other animals. This is because their diet mainly consists of leaves, which are low in nutrients and difficult to break down. Due to their slow digestion, it takes sloths approximately 2 weeks to fully digest their food. During this time, the food undergoes a slow fermentation process in their specialized stomachs, allowing them to extract as many nutrients as possible from their diet.

- A.
  
  Dolphins
- B.
  
  Squids
- C.
  
  Orcas
- D.
  
  Sting rays
Correct Answer

Explanation
Orcas, also known as killer whales, are known to kill sharks by torpedoing up into their stomachs. Orcas are highly intelligent and powerful predators, and they have been observed using various hunting techniques to target and kill sharks. This behavior is often seen when orcas hunt larger species of sharks, such as great whites. By using their speed and strength, orcas are able to launch themselves out of the water and directly into the shark's stomach, causing fatal injuries.
