  • 2. 

    The walrus and the sea horse both change color to hide from fish. 

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. False
    Explanation
    The explanation for the answer "False" is that while it is true that some animals can change color to hide from predators, such as chameleons or octopuses, neither the walrus nor the seahorse have this ability. Walruses have a thick layer of blubber and a tough hide that helps them blend in with their surroundings, while seahorses rely on their unique body shape and the ability to camouflage themselves by changing their body position rather than changing color. Therefore, the statement that both the walrus and the seahorse change color to hide from fish is incorrect.

    • Soft

    • Sleek

    • Sharp

    • Thick

    Correct Answer
    A. Sharp
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "sharp" because sharks have multiple rows of teeth that are designed to be razor-sharp, allowing them to efficiently catch and tear apart their prey. These sharp teeth enable sharks to be formidable predators in the ocean ecosystem.

    What is the same about sharks and sea lions? 

    • They both are covered with short fur

    • They both change color to hide

    • They both eat fish

    • They both have long tusks

    Correct Answer
    A. They both eat fish
    Explanation
    Sharks and sea lions both eat fish. Sharks are carnivorous predators that primarily feed on fish, while sea lions are also known to consume fish as a major part of their diet. This commonality in their feeding habits is what makes the statement true.

    Rate this question:

  • 7. 

    The hammerhead shark has a _______ head shape

    • Strange

    • Ugly

    • Normal

    • Sharp

    Correct Answer
    A. Strange
    Explanation
    The hammerhead shark has a strange head shape because its head is wide and flattened, with eyes positioned on the outer edges. This unique shape allows the shark to have enhanced vision and better maneuverability in the water.

    Rate this question:

  • 8. 

    Sharks can find animals in the water because they have a strong sense of smell.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    Sharks have a strong sense of smell, allowing them to detect animals in the water. This sense is highly developed in sharks, enabling them to locate prey even from a distance. They can detect the scent of blood or other chemicals in the water, helping them to navigate and find food. This keen sense of smell is essential for their survival and hunting abilities. Therefore, the statement that sharks can find animals in the water because of their strong sense of smell is true.

  • 9. 

    Ocean animals suffer from pollution and overfishing.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    Ocean animals suffer from pollution and overfishing. This statement is true because pollution, such as oil spills and plastic waste, can harm marine life by contaminating their habitats and food sources. Overfishing, on the other hand, depletes fish populations and disrupts the balance of marine ecosystems. Both pollution and overfishing have detrimental effects on ocean animals, threatening their survival and overall biodiversity.

  • 10. 

    The shark attack videos make sharks look like _________ animals.

    • Safe

    • Fierce

    • Fast

    • Ugly

    Explanation
    The shark attack videos make sharks look like fierce animals because they depict sharks in aggressive and attacking behavior, which creates a perception of them being powerful and dangerous creatures.

    Rate this question:

  • 11. 

    An octopus has sharp fins that protect it from other fish. 

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. False
    Explanation
    This statement is false. Octopuses do not have sharp fins that protect them from other fish. In fact, octopuses have soft bodies and rely on other defense mechanisms such as camouflage, ink release, and jet propulsion to avoid predators. They do not have any sharp fins for protection.

    Rate this question:

  • 12. 

    The sea lion has ivory tusks and a layer of thick fat to protect it in the cold water.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. False
    Explanation
    Sea lions do not have ivory tusks. While they do have long canine teeth, they are not made of ivory. Additionally, sea lions do have a layer of thick fat, known as blubber, which helps to insulate and protect them in cold water. Therefore, the correct answer is false.

    Rate this question:

  • 13. 

    More people kill sharks than sharks kill people.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    The statement is true because statistics show that more people are responsible for killing sharks than the number of sharks that kill people. Shark populations have been declining due to overfishing, finning, and destruction of their habitats, while the number of shark attacks on humans is relatively low. This highlights the disproportionate impact humans have on shark populations compared to the threat sharks pose to humans.

    Rate this question:

  • 14. 

    There are ______ different kinds of sharks. 

    • 5

    • Over 300

    • 2

    • Only 10 or 11

    Correct Answer
    A. Over 300
    Explanation
    The answer "over 300" is correct because there are indeed over 300 different kinds of sharks. Sharks are a diverse group of fish that come in various shapes, sizes, and species. While some people may only be familiar with a few common species of sharks, the total number of shark species is much larger, exceeding 300. This wide variety of sharks includes well-known species like the great white shark, hammerhead shark, and tiger shark, as well as lesser-known species that inhabit different parts of the world's oceans.

    Rate this question:

  • 16. 

    An octopus hides in the coral to escape danger.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. False
    Explanation
    Octopuses do not hide in coral to escape danger. While they are known for their excellent camouflage abilities, they typically hide in crevices or use their ability to change color and texture to blend in with their surroundings. Coral may not provide enough coverage for an octopus to effectively hide from predators, so the statement is false.

    Rate this question:

  • 17. 

    Sharks like to eat people because they like the taste of our blood.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. False
    Explanation
    The statement that sharks like to eat people because they like the taste of our blood is not true. Sharks do not specifically seek out humans as prey, and incidents of shark attacks on humans are rare. Sharks primarily feed on marine animals such as fish, seals, and sea lions. The idea that they are attracted to human blood is a misconception and not supported by scientific evidence.

    Rate this question:

  • 18. 

    Dolphins have safe skin.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. False
    Explanation
    Dolphins do not have safe skin. While dolphins have a layer of blubber that helps protect them from the cold and provides buoyancy, their skin is not inherently safe. Dolphins can still get injured or develop skin conditions, just like any other animal.

    The sea lion is not like the Walrus. It is very ______ and looks like a dog.

    • Soft

    • Cute

    • Safe

    • Thick

    Correct Answer
    A. Soft
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "soft" because the sentence states that the sea lion is not like the Walrus and instead, it is very soft and looks like a dog. This implies that the sea lion's texture or fur is soft, which distinguishes it from the Walrus.

    Rate this question:

  • 21.

    • To swim as a group.

    • To eat sharks

    • To be friendly to people

    • To be alone

    Correct Answer(s)
    A. To swim as a group.
    A. To be friendly to people
    Explanation
    Dolphins are known for their social behavior and strong bond with their pod. They often swim in groups, called pods, which helps them navigate, hunt, and protect themselves from predators. Additionally, dolphins are known to be friendly and interactive with humans, often approaching boats and swimmers. They have been observed engaging in playful behaviors and even assisting humans in times of need.
