14 Question Unusual Animal Quiz
Do you know your armadillo from your axoltyl? Test how well you know the weirdness of the animal kingdom with these unusual creature quiz questions!
We love unusual animals at Beano.com! Scientists have worked out that there's almost 9 million different types of animals and around 7 million which we don't even know about yet. That's a lot of work to do!
Sure, you've got cats, dogs, rabbits and all the different types of birds. All standard stuff, we think you'll agree. But there are some animals which are awesomely unusual.
Take the humble wombat, for example. They don't poo that often, but when they do, it's shaped like a cube! Or there's a leech, whose bodies are made up of 32 segments. That's pretty unusual, but what do you think about the fact that there's a brain in each part? It's a wonder that they don't appear on more game shows with all that knowledge floating around in their guts.
Some animals have unique ways of protecting themselves from predators. We're looking at you, Californian Sheephead Fish! Did you know that they drench themselves with mucus so they effectively become invisible to their sea enemies. That's not to be confused with anemones, who are unusual in their own right. Did you know they have venomous tentacles which help them stun and eventually snack on other sea creatures?
Some unusual animals have names which really do the job, so you know exactly what they're all about. There's the blobfish, the sarcastic fringehead and the fried egg jellyfish. Good work, animal namers!
So, in summary, the animal kingdom is a WEIRD place. See how well you know it with these very unusual animal quiz questions! Only real animal experts will get a high score!
