There are so many things to learn about wild animals and most of them are interesting. Some are strange, others are weird, and a few are amazing, but each animal seems to have special trivia that many people don’t know. Let’s see how well you can do on this quiz about animals. The fun part is learning more about the animals we share this planet with.

I’m really glad that you like it!
Got 4 right this time…very informative quiz!
One thing I love about animals is that there is always more to learn about them. :))
That’s true, there are so many animals out there too!
7/10, my mistakes were about a porcupine, a rattlesnake + king cobras! Very unusual & interesting wild animals!
That is a good score and the mistakes are understandable. Porcupines don’t throw their quills at all. They are merely modified hairs, not powered darts.
Rattlesnakes are pit vipers. The pit, located near the nostrils, can detect temperatures and temperature variations less than a tenth of a degree. In total darkness, it can successfully strike at prey, because a rattlesnake’s prey is usually a mammal, which has a huge heat signature in relation to its surroundings.
King cobras do occasionally eat rodents, but their primary prey is other snakes, including true cobras. (A king cobra is not a true cobra. It belongs to a different genus.)
Got 3/10, but I have learned so much..nice quiz Rex ?
I’m glad you liked it. There will probably be more quizzes like this coming in the future.
Got 3/10, but I have learned so much..nice quiz Rex 🙂
That is the big key; learning. There is far more that we don’t know than what we do know, so there is always something new to learn. :))
Yeah u are absolutely right 🙂
Another great quiz 🙂 Lot of fun and lot to learn 🙂
That is how I feel about animals. They are fun and there’s always a lot more to learn. LOL
My point exactly 🙂 There are no single boring living creature 🙂
5 out of 10. Again very interesting.
I hope that you had fun with this one. That isn’t a bad score at all.
It has pattern. True false true false and it follows if I’m not mistaken. Lol. Interesting quiz though.
Well, not quite, but almost. I tried to be careful not to make it too obvious.
7 out of 10 on this one.
Good job, Gary! You did really good.
GREAT QUIZ KEEP IT UP
I’m really glad that you like this quiz!
I have 8 faithful answers. For me the test was interesting
You did really good! I’m glad that you liked the quiz.
Got 7 correct. Scary that snakes can strike with such accuracy at night!
You did really well! It isn’t just at night, it is in total darkness. In other words, they don’t need eyesight to strike accurately. It is specifically rattlesnakes, though. They are pit vipers and the pits can detect variations in temperature as small as a tenth of a degree or less. They strike at heat, so they don’t need eyesight. Their prey is warmer than the surroundings.
Very interesting quiz, Rex. It didn’t calculate but I got about half right.
That is pretty good! I’m glad that you liked the quiz. :))
5/10. That’s better than I expected.
That is pretty good! I thought people would do better with true-false questions, but apparently not.
4/10 here, you got me here. Good quiz.
I’m glad that you liked it. Do any of the questions stand out as surprising? I put some stuff in there to specifically make it a little harder. lol
The bears and bats got me. I thought bears could see better than us. and I figured since bats were rodents?? I thought they would give birth more frequently.
Bears *do* see much better than we do. In fact, they see several times better and they see in color, too. Their main sense is smell, though, and they can smell 10 times better than a bloodhound, especially when it comes to sweets. They can smell a candy bar from over a mile away.
As for bats, they look like mice with wings, but they aren’t rodents. Their low reproductive rate is why many species are endangered. The main culprit in that actually isn’t man, either. It is domestic dogs and cats.
Very interesting. I love learning animal facts. I was wondering if they were true rodents.
Several things define rodents, but among them is their teeth. Rodents have four front teeth, two on each jaw, that grow continually throughout their lives. Most bats have a full mouth of teeth, including sharp little canine teeth. That reflects the diets. Rodents eat primarily seeds and leaves. Bats eat primarily insects, fruit, or fish, depending on the species of bat. (Naturally, vampire bats feed exclusively on blood.)
