    Where do dogs sweat from?

    • Arm Pits

    • Tongue

    • Feet Pads

    • Stomach

    Correct Answer
    A. Feet Pads
    Explanation
    Dogs sweat from their feet pads. Unlike humans, dogs do not have sweat glands all over their bodies. Instead, they have sweat glands in their paw pads, which help them regulate their body temperature. When dogs become overheated, these sweat glands release moisture, which then evaporates and cools their bodies. Therefore, the correct answer is "Feet Pads".

    What do minnows have in their throat?

    • Lungs

    • Brain

    • Heart

    • Teeth

    Correct Answer
    A. Teeth
    Explanation
    Minnows have teeth in their throat to help them grind and break down their food. These teeth are called pharyngeal teeth and are located in the back of their throat. They use these teeth to crush and grind their prey before swallowing it. This adaptation allows them to efficiently consume and digest their food.

    How long can a cockroach live with its head cut off?

    • A Few Minutes

    • A Couple Of Days

    • A Few Hours

    • Several Weeks

    Correct Answer
    A. Several Weeks
    Explanation
    Cockroaches can live for several weeks without their heads due to their decentralized nervous system. Unlike humans, cockroaches do not breathe through their mouths, but through small openings called spiracles located on their body segments. They can continue to breathe and move even without their heads. However, without a mouth, they are unable to eat or drink, which eventually leads to their death.

    On average, how many kills per year does a lion make?

    • 1200

    • 100

    • 50

    • 20

    Correct Answer
    A. 20
    Explanation
    Lions are known to be apex predators and have a high success rate in hunting. However, they do not need to make kills frequently as they have a relatively low metabolic rate. They can survive on a single large kill for several days. Therefore, the average number of kills per year for a lion is relatively low, around 20. This is because they conserve energy and only hunt when necessary or when they spot an opportunity.

    How long is an ostrich's intestinal tract?

    • 246 Feet

    • 45 Feet

    • 120 Feet

    • 8 Feet

    Correct Answer
    A. 45 Feet
    Explanation
    An ostrich's intestinal tract is approximately 45 feet long. This is a significant length, considering the size of the bird. The long intestinal tract allows for the proper digestion and absorption of nutrients from the food they consume. The length of the intestinal tract is necessary for the ostrich to extract as many nutrients as possible from the plant material it eats, as well as to aid in the breakdown of tough fibers.

    • Flounder

    • Goby Fish

    • Stout Infantfish

    Explanation
    The Stout Infantfish is considered the world's smallest fish. This tiny fish, also known as the stout infantfish, is found in the waters of the Philippines. It typically measures only about 7-8 millimeters in length, making it one of the smallest vertebrates on Earth. Despite its small size, it possesses all the characteristics of a fish, including gills, fins, and a streamlined body. Its small size allows it to thrive in the shallow coastal waters where it resides.

The name "Toyger" is a combination of the words "toy" and "tiger," highlighting the breed's playful nature and its resemblance to its wild counterpart. The Toyger's unique appearance and size make it a popular choice among cat enthusiasts who want to own a tiger-like cat in a domestic setting.

    • Antennae

    Correct Answer
    A. Hind Feet

    How many people can 1 gram of king cobra venom kill?

    • 20

    • 5

    • 80

    • 150

    Correct Answer
    A. 150
    Explanation
    King cobra venom is highly toxic and can cause severe reactions in humans. The venom contains neurotoxins that can quickly paralyze the respiratory system and lead to death. Therefore, even a small amount of king cobra venom, such as 1 gram, can be fatal to a significant number of people. In this case, the correct answer is 150, indicating that 1 gram of king cobra venom can potentially kill up to 150 people.

    How many times per minute does a whale's heart beat?

    • 12

    • 30

    • 3

    • 9

    Correct Answer
    A. 9
    Explanation
    A whale's heart beats 9 times per minute. This is a biological fact about whales, as their hearts have adapted to their large size and the demands of their aquatic lifestyle. The heart rate of a whale is relatively slow compared to smaller animals, allowing it to conserve energy while still providing enough blood flow to support its massive body.

    On the average, how many adult elephants together weigh as much as a blue whale?

    • 55

    • 30

    • 15

    • 5

    Correct Answer
    A. 30
    Explanation
    On average, adult elephants weigh around 5,000 to 14,000 pounds, while a blue whale can weigh up to 200,000 pounds. Therefore, to find the number of adult elephants that would weigh as much as a blue whale, we divide the weight of the blue whale by the average weight of an adult elephant. 200,000 divided by 7,000 (taking the average weight) equals approximately 28.57. Since we are looking for a whole number, the closest option is 30, which means that on average, 30 adult elephants together would weigh as much as a blue whale.

    About how many feathers does a robin have?

    • 8,000

    • 1,500

    • 567

    • 3,000

    Correct Answer
    A. 3,000
    Explanation
    Robins typically have around 3,000 feathers. This is a reasonable estimate considering that birds generally have a large number of feathers to provide insulation, aid in flight, and attract mates. While the exact number may vary slightly between individual robins, 3,000 feathers is a commonly accepted approximation for this species.

    How long can a queen termite live?

    • 50 Years

    • 4 Weeks

    • 10 Years

    • 5 Months

    Correct Answer
    A. 50 Years
    Explanation
    A queen termite can live for up to 50 years. Unlike worker termites, which have a much shorter lifespan, the queen's sole purpose is to reproduce and establish new colonies. She is capable of laying thousands of eggs each day, ensuring the survival and growth of the termite population. This extended lifespan allows the queen to continue reproducing for an extended period, contributing to the longevity and success of the termite colony.

    Which Australian creature is the only mammal that doesn't seem to dream?

    • Platypus

    • Tasmanian Devil

    • Koala

    • Echidna

    Correct Answer
    A. Echidna
    Explanation
    Echidnas are the only Australian mammal that doesn't seem to dream. This conclusion is based on research conducted on other mammals, such as humans and other animals, which have been observed to exhibit rapid eye movement (REM) sleep, an indicator of dreaming. Echidnas, however, do not show REM sleep patterns, suggesting that they may not experience dreams like other mammals.

    How many eyes does a bee have?

    • 8

    • 5

    • 4

    • 2

    Correct Answer
    A. 5
    Explanation
    Bees have five eyes. They have two large compound eyes on the sides of their head, which are made up of thousands of tiny lenses that allow them to see in multiple directions. They also have three smaller eyes on the top of their head, called ocelli, which are used to detect light intensity and navigate. Therefore, the correct answer is 5.

    How big is the opening to an anteater's mouth?

    • 1 Inch

    • 20 Millimeters

    • 4 Inches

    • 12 Inches

    Correct Answer
    A. 1 Inch
    Explanation
    The opening to an anteater's mouth is approximately 1 inch in size. This small opening is perfectly suited for their diet, which consists mainly of ants and termites. The narrow opening helps the anteater to precisely target and extract its prey from mounds and nests. Additionally, the small size of the mouth opening allows the anteater to keep its long, sticky tongue inside its mouth when not in use, preventing it from getting dirty or damaged.
