What is one of the main functions of a cat's tail?

• Balance
• Grasping
• Grooming
• Buoyancy

Aside from making them look majestic when walking across high or narrow things, tails are essential for your cat’s daily life. They provide balance for leaps and jumps as well as sensory input. Cats love to climb up high and traverse narrow walkways which make even experienced cat enthusiasts have their worries. Yet on the rare occasions when they do fall, somehow cats always seem to manage to land on their feet. How do they do it? Their tails! Cats use their tails as a counterweight. When they walk on top of something narrow, jump, or climb, cats can position their tails to provide more stability. Actually, it’s a lot like the way that we spread our arms when walking along a balance beam. Cats keep their reflexes sharp through play, so that if they ever do fall, their tail will automatically help them find their feet.

What do giraffes eat?

• Meat
• Fish
• Leaves
• Fruits

Giraffes use their height to good advantage and browse on leaves and buds in treetops that few other animals can reach (acacias are a favorite). Even the giraffe's tongue is long! The 21-inch tongue helps them pluck tasty morsels from branches. Giraffes eat most of the time and, like cows, regurgitate food and chew it as cud. A giraffe eats hundreds of pounds of leaves each week and must travel miles to find enough food.

Which of these foods do squirrels typically eat?

• Fish
• Avocado
• Honey
• Acorns

Acorns make up a considerable percentage of a squirrel’s diet. They enjoy both red and white acorns and gnaw off the cap to eat the insides. Squirrels usually devour white acorns immediately and store red acorns, as they last longer when squirrels bury them. Acorn kernels can sustain a squirrel throughout the winter when other food becomes scarce.

Which of these body parts can lizards grow back?

• Tail
• Trunk
• Lungs
• Eyes

Many lizards, including geckos and skinks, are capable of shedding their tails (autotomy). The detached tail, sometimes brilliantly colored, continues to writhe after detaching, distracting the predator's attention from the fleeing prey. Lizards partially regenerate their tails over a period of weeks. Some 326 genes are involved in regenerating lizard tails.

What do giant pandas eat almost exclusively?

• Bamboo
• Meat
• Insects
• Fruit

Giant pandas almost exclusively eat bamboo, and they've been doing that for about 2 million years. So it's quite curious that their gut bacteria isn't really equipped to process all that plant matter. In fact, the animals only digest about 17 percent of the nearly 30 pounds of bamboo they eat throughout the day.

What special sense do dolphins use to hear underwater?

• Echolocation
• Dorsal line
• Passive sonar
• Pectoral flippers

Toothed whales (including dolphins) have developed a remarkable sensory ability used for locating food and for navigation underwater called echolocation. Toothed whales produce a variety of sounds by moving air between air spaces or sinuses in the head. Sounds are reflected or echoed back from objects, and these are thought to be received by an oil-filled channel in the lower jaw and conducted to the middle ear of the animal.

What is an eagle's strongest sense?

• Sight
• Smell
• Hearing
• Touch

Eagles have a highly developed sense of sight, which allows them to spot prey easily. Eagles have excellent 20/5 vision compared to an average human, who only has 20/20 vision. Eagles have fixed eye sockets that are angled 30 degrees from the midline of their face. That gives eagles a 340-degree visual field that allows for both excellent peripheral and binocular vision.

Which of these animals' teeth never stop growing?

• Giraffe
• Dog
• Rabbit
• Cow

Rabbits, squirrels, and rodents have teeth that never stop growing. They have to chew on tough foods like nuts, leaves, and bark to wear down their teeth and keep them from growing too long. Every animal has its own dental problems and quirks, and some of them can be downright weird. One thing is sure, no matter who the teeth belong to, man or animal, healthy teeth are important!

What do koalas usually eat?

• Insects
• Meat
• Eucalypt leaves
• Spiders

Koalas eat a variety of eucalypt leaves and a few other related tree species, including lophostemon, melaleuca, and corymbia species (such as brush box, paperbark, and bloodwood trees). They consume around 500 grams of leaves each day (approximately the size of a small lettuce) and obtain most of their water requirements from the leaves. Koalas have poor vision and rely heavily on their other senses. They have excellent hearing, which helps them detect predators and other koalas. They also have an acute sense of smell, which helps them detect their favorite food trees.

Where do dogs have their sweat glands?

• Belly
• Ears
• Paws
• Mouth

Dogs have a type of sweat gland called merocrine glands, which are located in dog paw pads. Overall, dogs have far fewer sweat glands than people do, making their other natural mechanisms for cooling off more important than sweating. Rarely, a dog will sweat through its paws. Dog sweat glands, in addition to being few in number, are also inefficient. Therefore, dogs rely on other mechanisms to keep their body temperatures under control.

What is a baby bison called?

• Calf
• Lamb
• Pup
• Foal

The American bison is the largest mammal in North America. It grows to 7 to 11.5 feet long from head to rump, and its tail adds an extra 20 to 23.5 inches. They weigh 930 to 2,200 lbs. A baby bison is called a calf. American bison calves weigh a massive 30 to 70 lbs at birth, according to the U.S. Department of Interior. A calf is protected not only by its mother but also by the whole herd. They are weaned at 7 to 13 months and typically become sexually mature at 2 to 3 years of age. Adult bison live around 14 to 24 years in the wild.

Which type of animal has trotters?

• Pig
• Rabbit
• Dog
• Cat

Trotters and pettitoes are other names for pig’s feet. Different communities around the world eat this visually striking cut of meat in different ways. What you might not be aware of are the various health benefits and potential health risks associated with eating pig’s feet. Trotters have an abundance of tough connective tissue and thick skin. Consequently, many preparations involve long cooking processes over low heat. This process helps break down the tissues and makes the meat more tender.

Which of these domesticated animals is nocturnal?

• Rabbits
• Dog
• Cats
• Hamsters

Hamsters are nocturnal and best suited to households that are active after dark, without any early risers. This is because hamsters are one of the louder nocturnal pets—they like to run on their wheels for long hours and chew noisily at anything they can. Do not place hamster cages where people sleep. A place that’s also quieter during the day (when the hamster wants to sleep) is ideal. Hamsters are often very grumpy when awakened, so if it’s necessary to wake up your pet (for example, for a trip to the vet), it’s best to do so slowly. When possible, it’s best to leave a sleeping hamster asleep.

Which body part do snakes use to smell other than the nostrils?

• Tail
• Tongue
• Eyes
• Skin

Snakes and humans have a lot of things in common. We both have eyes to see the world, mouths to eat our meals, and nostrils to breathe and smell the air. Snakes also have things we don’t, like a special, super-charged smell sensor called the Jacobson’s organ that “smells” chemicals gathered by their forked tongue, helping them hunt.
