From insects to bears and everything between, animals constantly amaze people or at least should. Animals are around us almost constantly, whether a person lives in a city or out in the country. To say that animals can be entertaining would be a major understatement.
Knowledge about animals can also be entertaining, even if the animal happens to be one that a person has never seen. With all the facts that are available and many more that are being discovered all the time, it is no wonder that there are things that people might not know or have forgotten.
Here is a chance to see how much you know about animals and to perhaps learn a thing or two at the same time.

Oops! No results. However the quiz was interesting. Love animals.
Three out of 10 right on this quiz.
Can I take that to mean that this was a good opportunity to learn more?
Failure means more chances to learn more about animals in another quiz.
That is exactly right. In fact, without failure, there is no way for us to learn. Needless to say, I’ve failed many, many times. :))
The knockdown does not define you. Getting back up and moving forward is what makes all of us better.
Loved this quiz. I got 6 right.
That is a good score. You know quite a bit about animals!
I missed three, learned some things. Great quiz.
That is a high score! You did very well on this one!
Got a 7 out of 10. Not bad for somebody who only knows a little bit about nature. Great information here in this post. Thanks Rex.
You did a really good job! Way to go!
