Trivia time: 20 questions on animals!

15th April 2020 by Shamus Sillar 2 Min Read

https://expatliving.sg/trivia-thursday-20-questions-on-animals-trivia-time/

Welcome to Trivia Thursday, Expat Living’s weekly 20-question quiz where you get the chance to test out your grey matter! How about challenging a friend or family member to see who gets the most questions right? You can get together with them over Zoom, Houseparty or Google Hangouts.

Each week, we’ll put together a new quiz, covering trivia topics relating to pop culture, geography, history, language and more. This one is all about animals!

Let’s start!

#1 What breed of dog is Scooby-Doo?

#2 What colour are the spots on a common ladybug or lady beetle? 

#3 What was the name of the sheep who, in 1996, became the first successfully cloned mammal from an adult cell?

#4 Which of the five senses do dolphins lack?

#5 Taurophobia is the fear of which animal?

#6 The offspring of a male tiger and a female lion is known as what? (Hint: it’s not a liger.)

#7 What animal’s name translates to “river horse”?

#8 Australia’s platypus and echidna are both members of which animal group starting with “m”?

#9 The animal you can see on the Firefox icon is a fox: true or false?

#10 Equine relates to horses; bovine relates to cows; what does ovine relate to?

#11 What’s the name for a baby beaver: buck, kit or brave?

#12 Which American state is the only place in the world where you can find both alligators and crocodiles?

#13 What animals hold each other’s paws when they sleep so they don’t float apart?

#14 What colour is a polar bear’s skin?

#15 What’s notable about the animal-themed sentence, “The quick brown fox jumps over a lazy dog”?

#16 How many times a minute does a whale’s heart beat: 9 times, 28 times or once?

#17 What animal’s sound is “wang wang” in Chinese, “haw haw” in Arabic and “bau bau” in Italian?

#18 The so-called “Big Five” in Africa consists of the lion, elephant, rhino, leopard and what other animal? (Hint: it’s not another cat and it’s not a hippo.)

#19 What two animals make up a Merlion?

#20 What is the world’s deadliest animal?

 

BONUS: Who am I?

(If you can answer correctly after the first clue, you get 10 points, but you lose a point for each additional clue you require to identify the person.)

I was born in England in 1934 (10 points).
A stuffed toy I received as a child helped inspire my animal-related career (9).
In my early 20s, I spent time in Kenya and Tanzania (8).
I then went on to study primatology (7).
