A toad is it's own species, not a warty frog. Perhaps you could change the clue to something like, "amphibian that resembles a frog"?

All toads are frogs, and their distinction from other frogs is actually morphological rather than taxonomic

Napoleon Dynamite's liger fascination came from Sasha the liger at Hogle Zoo in Salt Lake City. After she died I think in the early 80s they stuffed her and kept her behind glass in the big cats house. Sometime after the film came out they moved her to the Bean Life Science Museum at Brigham Young University, where all the film's creators had gone to school, and that's where you can see her today.

Could not remember the spelling of Tarsier for ages. All I could think of was Taseer, which is the name of a Punjabi Governor who was assassinated in in 2011 for opposing Pakistan's blasphemy laws. Specifically he tried to save a Christian woman sentenced to death under said laws. Which is a depressing connotation for a kinda cute animal.

May 24, 2019
I dont think they got it wrong, just never heard of it (or the english name, which was the case for me, in my language it translates as (little) ghostanimal. Ghosty critter, to get sort of the same feel, you guys dont use diminitives like we do so just translating sometimes gives a completely different feel)

Early 80s, grammar school, advertising education sidebar - there is no Fruit in Froot Loops! Thus the spelling.

I like the flavors, but in liquid the Loops are greasy.

Please accept "Tofurkey" for the Thanksgiving Dinner clue. As a vegan, I try to be patient on this website with the carnivo-normative cluing in quizzes, but sometimes it really feels like a slap in the face. We need to normalize non-murderous alternatives to barbaric food traditions, and that has to start on websites like this one.

I love how the turkey and toucan were advertisements for food rather than being a living creature. The turkey was dead before we took the quiz poor thing!
