Good quiz...I like it

Feels odd to refer to an angel as an "animal." Not sure I can make a solid argument for excluding it, though.

+14

Level 69

Jan 19, 2020

Agreed. It's a creature, but not an animal.

Level 73

Aug 20, 2023

I agree... though I think including a Hindu deity feels just as strange to me.

Piping shrike and swan are on state emblems in Australia not a national emblem. Very misleading.

The quiz doesn't ask what the national emblems are. It asks which animals appear on the coat of arms.

On the national coat of arms an Emu and Kangaroo are holding up a shield which has a Piping Shrike, Swan, and Lion.

I can't believe no country has a bear of any sort on their flag. Seems like a missed opportunity.

Level 81

Oct 28, 2019

There's still some no-man's-land left. Lets conquer and make it happen.

Level 92

Any Pooh will do.

Flag ≠ Coat of Arms

Level 75

Jan 22, 2020

There is a bear on the danish coat of arms!

Level 63

Oct 12, 2024

Yeah, Denmark seems to have been excluded from the sample. In addition to the heraldic lions there is a sheep to allude to the Faeroe Islands and a polar bear to allude to Greenland.

Level 92

I gave up on mahi. Everyone calls them mahi or dolphinfish except marketing people who say mahi twice.

Level 72

And Jacob Two-Two.

Maybe because it's the only marsupial on here, but Kangaroos aren't mammals.

+23

Level 77

Oct 30, 2019

Marsupials belong to the Class Mammalia. They are mammals.

Level 77

Oct 30, 2019

Would be just as wrong as saying that a rabbit isn't a mammal because it's a rodent.

+20

Level 72

Nov 3, 2019

No, that would be even more wrong. Rabbits are lagomorphs, not rodents.

Level 66

Apr 26, 2022

Or that a human isn’t because it’s a primate

I got huma bird by guessing human!

Level 20

Jan 16, 2020

Same!

Level 65

Jan 16, 2020

Didn't read the notes, tried human, got Huma Bird - Yay!!!

Level 63

Jan 16, 2020

Angel is an animal? Wtf?

Level 79

Jan 16, 2020

No bears, eh? Maybe when California declares independence.

Level 58

Jan 18, 2020

I was surprised by that as well.

Level 72

Jan 16, 2020

Marlin? But I typed swordfish and it didn't accept it. That's not cool.

Level 74

Jan 16, 2020

They aren't the same thing. They belong to different families.

Level 72

Jan 16, 2020

So they do. Thanks.

But, I would argue that if you can be right with either turtle or tortoise, you should also be right with marlin or swordfish (or sailfish.)

Level 75

Jan 22, 2020

There is a bear on the greater version of the danish coat of arms!

Level 71

Cyprus and Liberia are missing for dove.

Level 65

Jul 29, 2020

There's a couple that has humans

Level 87

Mar 24, 2021

The Trinidadian Coat of Arms has a shield with two hummingbirds on it.

Level 85

Apr 12, 2021

Guessed every animal I could think of in the time. 32/55 scores 5/5.

Level 37

Armadillos in Grenada?

Level 44

Aug 11, 2021

Add Indonesian coat of arms (Indonesian coat of arms is garuda)

Level 63

Accidentally got huma bird by trying human lol

Level 72

Mar 5, 2022

I got ‘Huma Bird’ when I tried to type ‘Human’

Level 63

An angel is a mythical animal?! Behave yourself!

Level 69

Oct 25, 2022

How is that not behaving themselves???

Oh right, you think anything outside of a Christian view must be terribly offensive

Level 40

Great Quiz!

I think you missed Sailfish for the Seychelles.

Level 83

Mar 5, 2022

I can't believe I had never heard of the mythical creature for Cambodia. An elephant/lion hybrid is awesome

Level 68

Mar 5, 2022

Maybe add buzzard as a type-in for vulture? (Apparently in other places "Buzzard" refers to a type of hawk, but in the US it's common to use "buzzard" and "vulture" interchangeably)

Level 76

Mar 6, 2022

Im from the US and Ive never heard buzzard being used.

Level 69

Oct 25, 2022

I've heard it all the time

Level 85

Oct 25, 2022

Guatemala (quetzal) and Kenya (rooster) in the birds section should be flipped since Q is before R alphabetically.

Level 78

Apr 21, 2023

Yes, Quetzal and Rooster should be switched.

Level 38

Oct 19, 2023

India doesn't have a coat of arms, but it does have an emblem; this emblem features lions and not cattle.

Level 56

Oct 30, 2023

Accept Red tailed Tropicbird and giant tortoise?

Level 72

Dec 13, 2023

So there is no bear and wolf. Just surprising...

Level 69

Oct 11, 2024

The Piping shrike is most commonly refered to as the Australian magpie.

Level 51

Oct 11, 2024

The vicuña is on the coat of arms of Peru not the llama

Level 74

Nov 9, 2024

Tough quiz! Surprised, I got 4/5 points when knowing only 25/55. And kicking myself for forgetting condor, deer and turtle...

Level 51

Nov 20, 2024

Guyana is a hoatzin, not a pheasant, not at all related

Level 75

Nov 23, 2024

The piping shrike is an old name for the Australian Magpie and it only appears on the flag of the state of South Australia.

Level 75

Nov 23, 2024

Also, the black swan is on the coat of arms for Western Australia and is not a national symbol.

Level 66

Nov 28, 2024

India's emblem doesn't have cattle... it has three lions. We don't have a coat of arms/seal either

Level 73

Dec 28, 2025

More fun to do a grayed-in "human" spot, and avoids confusion since not everyone reads the notes. That also makes "angel" more understandable.
