I eat sushi all the time, how did I miss yellowtail... >_< I think I typed in "yellow fin"

Level 90

Mar 7, 2014

I also typed in yellowfin first.

Level 76

May 25, 2014

I typed yellowfish.

Level 73

Feb 28, 2018

Another yellowfin here, even though I know that's a tuna.

Yellow-bellied sapsucker doesn't work, either.

thought dewgong was a pokemon

It is. Hence why the answer is dugong and not dewgong.

Level 56

Feb 28, 2018

Hence why my misspelling was not accepted.

Level 78

I kept trying "dulong"--as if I was writing lyrics for the Chiffons.

Huge horned mammal = ram

Level 50

Apr 27, 2015

I tried that first, too. lol

Level ∞

Jul 5, 2017

Ram != huge

Level 73

Feb 1, 2018

var huge_lb;

huge_lb=3;

ram="not huge";

if (ram_ht>=huge_lb)

{

ram="huge";

}

Level 76

His horns are huge. If you rephrased it as huge animal with horns there would be no issue. Now the huge can refer both to the horns or the animal. (The rhino's horns are tiny compared to the rest of him)

Level 66

Dec 14, 2021

Maybe ad xenatra for the x in this quiz it is the name of a spider

Level 38

May 23, 2019

I thought the clue was saying the horns were huge at first, not the animal!

Level 88

Mar 7, 2014

I typed in John Cleese for the letter N.

But he got better!

Level 18

Mar 16, 2014

Foxes are still hunted in Britain, just not with dogs and also it's not necessarily the aristocracy who do the hunting.

Level 44

Why don't dolphins do anything by accident?

Because they always have a porpoise!

Level 26

Feb 28, 2018

oh.

Reminds me of that infamous long-winded 6 minute joke about Jacques de Geauxties and his adventures with dolphins that eventually crescendos into the lamest pun ever uttered on national television, by Norm Macdonald on Conan O'Brien. Google it if you have the time... I watched it 3 years ago and it haunts me to this day.

For the "Q" bird... I tried typing in something close to "Quetzalcoatl" and got NO CREDIT !!! why not? My spelling might have been off by a letter somewhere ... but that's one hell of a word to spell correctly!! Challenging quiz! I got a 96% by missing that one Q-bird.

Level 67

Jan 8, 2016

Quetzalcoatl is an Aztec god, the bird is just a Quetzal

Level 79

Mar 9, 2015

Only missed zebu... Man they're a weird looking animal.

Level 68

Sep 3, 2016

Woah! What the hell is that weird appendage? I'm really straining my brain to try to figure out the advantage imparted by that thing that would have made them evolve like that. The girl zebus think it looks sexy?

Level 73

May 18, 2018

Like camels and Brahmin cattle it is fat tissue. It helps with minimizing heat distribution in their bodies, which is a good thing in arid lands.

Level 68

Mar 19, 2015

Quezal should also be accepted for Quetzal

Level 76

Please notify the Quezmaster.

I typed in Dewgong because of Pokemon and left it because I didn't know a real animal's name was so similar!

Level 10

May 26, 2017

i just got Quetzal from Ark Survival Evolved XD

Level 87

Aug 10, 2017

I only got it because of my coins from Guatemala.

Level 20

Jun 13, 2017

I get Echidna, but not Fox or Koala....

Level 73

May 18, 2018

For some reason I always confuse echidna and Eritrea. I always try one and if that doesn't work I try the other.

Level 87

Aug 10, 2017

The "huge horned mammal" clue threw me for a minute, since my mother-in-law's first name begins with "R".

Not sure but does Ibex qualify for African antelope / car?

Level 65

Mar 8, 2018

No because there's no car called an Ibex, and also the ibex isn't really an antelope, it's a goat. And it lives in the Alps.

Level 73

Mar 14, 2018

I think you're probably right that it shouldn't be included, but -

Ibex car - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ibex_(vehicle)

Ibex African antelope - https://www.livescience.com/28102-ibex.html

(end of first paragraph)

Both are a little tenuous

Level 77

Feb 28, 2018

Zebu only 10%

You should accept "ram" for huge horned mammal

Level 72

Feb 28, 2018

If only tamarins had huge eyes :-(

Level 68

Feb 28, 2018

Jellyfish are probably sad that there are no peanutbutterfish.

Level 78

No, they're jelly. https://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=jelly

Omg. Did anyone else get "Zebu" from VeggieTales? They had a song about it. #throwback

Level 65

Yes

Level 79

They've got a zebu at the animal sanctuary/petting zoo up in Leesburg near here.

Level 77

Mar 11, 2018

Can u also accept "dewgong" for dugong?

Level 14

Nov 10, 2018

I was going to say that tamarin should be accepted for T too, but then I saw "huge eyes".

Tarsiers look creepy as heck because of their giant eyes. I wouldn't want to see one in real life.

Level 35

Jun 23, 2019

I kept trying Platypus for the egg-laying Mammal. Aaah well.

Level 65

Feb 3, 2021

I noticed that in both of the quizzes in this series you put Octopus for O, their is also Otter, Oryx, and more options.

Level 63

Apr 27, 2023

Need vole, vixen, vicuna, vampire squid, vaquita.

(Vaquita may not survive the decade)

Level 88

Mar 6, 2022

Please accept "jelly" for "J." It's not a fish, and the term "jelly" and "sea jelly" are becoming more regularly used.

Level 95

Mar 19, 2022

The Dugong is not a relative of the manatee - they are one and the same with a different name

Level 80

Nov 14, 2024

Manatees, of which there are three living species (the Amazonian manatee, Trichechus inunguis; the West Indian or North American manatee, T. manatus; and the African manatee, T. senegalensis) are in the Sirenia order and the Trichechidae family.

The dugong (Dugong dugon) is also in the Sirenia order, but in the Dugonidae family (the only living members.) They have a dolphin-like fluked tail and a long snout, in contrast to the round, paddle-like tail and shorter snout of the manatees, among other differences.

Still no Xenopus.............

You really need to make a 3rd quiz in this series to satisfy all us users who are desperate for X animals. Don't be an x-ist

Level 72

The British aristocracy still illegally hunt foxes.

Level 61

Nov 14, 2024

It's only illegal if you use dogs. You can hunt them and shoot them no problem.

Level 79

Jun 7, 2023

22/25, missed Tarsier, Yellowtail, and Zebu, the 3 lowest

Easter bunny for the egg-laying mammal
