Six out of ten! Not bad Bob. This proves that you went to school.
DeleteWell, I got 4 out of 10 but I might argue that a daddy horse could be called a sire.
ReplyDeleteWhy not ask our God - Google? "What is the name of a male horse?" and he will confirm the answer!
DeleteYou didn't ask for the name of a male horse. You asked for the name of a daddy horse. And The Great and Almighty Google responded: A sire is a horse's father. So there! I claim 5 out of 10.
DeleteBegrudgingly, I allow you to claim your five Bruce! Your equestrian knowledge is impressive!
DeleteCorrect: 1,5,6,7. Not great.
ReplyDeleteWell you are forgiven as you have had other things on your mind recently Andrew.
DeleteOnly 6 out of ten for me this week.
ReplyDeleteSix out of ten at least proves that your brain is functioning Elsie.
DeleteDunce again.
ReplyDelete"Strictly Come Duncing"
DeleteI got 6. Didn't know 2 4 7 or 10 ! ( I did put wild boar for no 10...aren't they similar? Similar but wrong I hear you say!!)
ReplyDelete"Similar but wrong!" laughed the exacting quizmaster.
Delete1. pig, 2, cow, 3. horse, 4. sheep, 5. chicken, 6. duck, 7. goat, 8. donkey, 9. goose, 10. deer.
ReplyDeletePlaying the goat again Tusker? Tusker would be a great name for a warthog.
DeleteOnly 6 this week.
ReplyDeleteSome did worse than you Dave so do not despair.
DeleteKelly and I think alike on this one. I missed the same two as her.
ReplyDeleteGreat minds think alike!
DeleteSo much for watching all those TV wildlife programmes! I could only manage 4/10! Though I understand that the capybara is found in some of the southern N. American states.
ReplyDeleteWell understood Carol! There are some capybara in Florida but they are an invasive species - rather like mink in England.
Delete6 out of 10, not bad. If is was a MLB hitter, I'd be doing fantastic:)
ReplyDeleteMLB? Is that baseball?
DeleteOnly 4 right this week, Neil. :(
ReplyDeleteOh dear Ellen. You must pay more attention when you visit zoos!
DeleteI correctly answered 2,3,4,5,7, and 8. Not very good for an anthropologist!
ReplyDeleteAnthropologist Donna - not zoologist!
DeleteNo one ever wants to court a warthog!
ReplyDeleteNot even another warthog?
DeleteSpot on! That is of course the correct answer. Bonus point to the quiz master.
DeleteGood grief, only 5/10! And I was so sure the capybara was native to Australia! Ah well, I got rat, bamboo, wombat, stallion and liger correct :)
ReplyDeleteFive out of ten is pretty good for a Canadian!
Delete60% I should continue my vacation, greetings from the Canary Islands
ReplyDeleteI hope you like swimming David!
DeleteSix out of ten, believe it or not. From my googling of the rest I'd like to add that a lion and a tiger could also produce a tigon, though - depending on who's father vs mother in the happy couple, it seems. (Still not recommended to try it at home.) I should have thought of rats (for No 2), but I didn't. Can't recall ever having heard of the capybara (and will probably soon forget it again); and if you held a quizz of the flags of the US, I'm pretty sure I'd end up with zero...
ReplyDeleteThank you for your expert knowledge on breeding between different species.
