The one in the last picture is not a camel, but a dromedary!

Dromedaries are camels. Bactrian camels are their closest relatives, and together with the new world camels (Llama, Alpaca, Vicuña, Guanaco) they form the family of camels. So technically speaking, there are two camels in this quiz.

The pointed nose nailed it for me. The voles in my garden look like short-tailed mice. Evil, despicable, thieving, disgusting, greedy, prolific, short-tailed meadow mice that ravage my sweet potatoes and other crops. Voles, along with squash bugs and bermuda grass, are the banes of my gardening existence. I was standing in the path one day and I saw a corn plant begin to quiver. Right before my eyes the plant suddenly disappeared underground. I did a doubletake and then began furiously digging with my hoe and found a mole tunnel being used by voles. I found the corn plant in it but the vole was long gone. I felt like Elmer Fudd in a Looney Tunes cartoon going after the "wascally wabbit", except in my case it was a vole. I've tried everything - Juicy Fruit gum in the tunnels, cats, digging a perimeter and lining with 12" of hardware cloth with the bottom bent backward, nothing has worked except snakes. I welcome non-poisonous snakes in my garden as they are the best control I've found.

I mean I would have said they're pretty well-known before seeing the results of this quiz...

Uhh they're relatives of hedgehogs and moles and the smallest species of shrews are also the smallest adult mammals yet they are actually pretty scary predators (for insects) especially since they need to eat pretty much constantly to stay alive due to their insane metabolism

Buffalo should not be accepted for bison. Buffalo do not live in the western hemisphere. Buffalo and bison are far less related than alligators and crocodiles.

In zoology, animals have a common name and a scientific name. Since this quiz involves animals, common name means the common name in the field of animals (zoology), not the colloquial name. It's like calling indigenous people Indians. Colloquially it is used, but it is incorrect. Indians live in or have ancestry in the country of India

Therefore, there is only one correct answer: BISON. Buffalo is incorrect as defined by zoology, zoos, Yellowstone valley, Britannica, etc. You can learn more below.

QUIZMASTER- please make the correction!

My concern with this, as with other, animal quizzes on Jetpunk is that testing common names is imprecise, location-based, and misleading. Compared to this site's historical or geographical quizzes that test niche and precise knowledge, an animal quiz like this fails to reach the same complexity, difficulty and teaching potential.

These animals should have full species names and scientific names accepted and appearing as the answer. Only in specific cases should common names be accepted: only when they are species-specific, i.e. polar bear, grizzly bear. We should be answering African Elephant, or Dromedary Camel to this quiz - not just elephant or camel!

Somewhat of an analogy: imagine the question 'Which depicted 18th Century political event led to profound political changes still felt worldwide today?' with a vague painting next to it. You answer 'Revolution' and are correct even though the answer could be American Revolution, French Revolution, Haitian Revolution, etc.

Yeah, it's pretty much of a generalization. In this quiz you have to distinguish between two specific species of bears, while in the meantime you just have to type in "opossum" which is the English name for a WHOLE ORDER of mammals.

To put it into comparison, seeing a hog-nosed bat and just calling it "bat" is as general as seeing a giraffe and entering the answer: "even-toed ungulate", or describing a fox as nothing but "a carnivore".
