I'm betting most people think the badger's a skunk.

But it's not like badgers care.

Yeah it kind of looks like the person who drew the chipmunk was obsessed with squirrels. That tail!

Level 78
Feb 3, 2020
I know that, pal, but the image looks definitely more like a squirrel than a chipmunk.
+7
Level 74
Feb 3, 2020
Regardless of what it's supposed to be, that emoji looks like a squirrel. Chipmunks have stripes on their faces and they do not have bushy tails. They barely have any tails at all. Considering that I don't use emojis I'm not sure why I should care, but somebody's got to defend the chipmunk.
+1
Level 68

They are. Chipmunks are a type of squirrel.

I think I guessed.. puma, jaguar, mountain lion, cheetah, lynx, ocelot, wildcat, sabretooth cat, panther... even guessed "snow leopard"... but I missed leopard.

Puma, jaguar, cheetah and sabretooth tiger were my tries as well. Felt stupid, when I saw leopard in the missed answers.

kangaroo.... mammal?

Level 44
Feb 3, 2020
Well, they're in the Mammalia class
+8
Level 76
Feb 3, 2020
Yea, they dont lay eggs do they, and breastfeed their kids, they just arent placental mammals. (And yes, I know, monotremes are egglaying mammals)

It conjures up a funny image though, a kangaroo sitting on a nest of eggs, trying to hatch them ha ha

+1
Level 80
May 9, 2021
Simply, it has hair or fur. It does not have feathers, does not have scales, and is warm-blooded. If it isn't a mammal, what is it?

Reindeer for Deer? I knew I'd used the emoji at Christmas so tried Reindeer, and he does have a red nose too!

I have two questions. Aren't dromedaries like, different from camels, or are dromedaries buffed-down versions of camels? Also, shouldn't the human be included in the quiz, as it has the majority of emojis (I think, haven't counted).
+5
Level 87
May 7, 2021
Dromedary is a type of camel. Dromedaries have one hump and are the most common (like 90% of camels are dromedaries). Bactrian camels have two humps, and there is also a wild bactrian camel.
+1
Level 79
Mar 23, 2024
Also, dromedaries are (mostly) from North Africa and Arabia, whereas Bactrian camels are (mostly) from Central Asia.

While humans are animals, they aren't in the nature section with the other animal emojis (granted, neither is sponge).

Squirrel (Chimpmunk)

Sauropod (Bronco, Broncosaurus)

Cricket (Grasshopper)

Shouldn't that all be accepted as an answer?

Some people may be more familiar with those instead of your acceptive ones.

No hate just saying, great quiz.

Level 85
May 25, 2021
Sorry dude, but a squirrel isn't the same as a chipmunk.

A brontosaurus is a type of Sauropod. A broncosaurus is only real in The Flintstones. Shame really, because it's a great name for a dinosaur.

Level 78

I'm about to blow your mind...there's also no such thing as a brontosaurus.

A 2015 paper revised Brontosaurus as a seperate genus from Apatosaurus, which makes it a valid name again.

Since when is a lion considered an animal? Also, I'm 90% sure that the snake doesn't belong to the reptile class. One more thing:

A dragon isn't mythical. I saw one in my backyard yesterday.
