They're both. If you've been to the park, one of the trivia facts they tell you is that the Everglades is the only place on earth that has BOTH crocodiles and alligators.

The American alligator and the American crocodile are two separate species. The American alligator has wider jaws and all of its upper teeth overlap its bottom teeth.

What is a cod? Are you thinking of COD as in the fish? If so that's just an an acronym for catch of the day. There is no such thing as a "cod" fish.

I watched some natives on the Ubangi river bank searching for giant frogs in burrows. One man thrust his arm in a burrow and a dreadful scream issued forth. He then speared into the burrow and pulled out a large frog, which screamed again. It was a terrible sound.

Actually, there are three kinds of animals called Daddy Long Legs. One is an insect, one a spider, and the one I grew up calling a daddy long legs is an arachnid but not a spider.

Arachnid is the class containing the orders Spiders, Harvestmen, Scorpions and Mites amongst others.

Anything with 8 legs is an Arachnid but not necessarily a Spider.

In the case of the Harvestmen they only have one body segment, whereas Spiders have two.

I hate to get technical but, Draft horse isn't actually a breed. It's pretty much a word that refers to any large horse used for pulling. Clydesdales and Shires are the most common ones, but there are lots of breeds that are considered to be Draft horses.

It is, of course, sad to see an armadillo that's been hit on the road, but it's also kind of funny. They die like cartoons: on their backs, with 4 legs straight up in the air. All they're missing are the stars for eyes.

Nine-banded armadillos have been in North America far, far longer than humans. They "invaded" from South America a couple million years ago when the isthmus of Panama formed. Their range has been steadily expanding lately, but that's just how evolution works. Don't hate them just because they're winning.

Or we could eat them. I hear they're tasty.

I have no idea how I got armadillo, the only explanation I can think of is that I took this quiz before and didn't directly remember it but had some vague association with it. otherwise it was just a really lucky guess

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I thought Daddy Long Legs was an arachnid not classified as a spider. I could be wrong, but just in case that threw anybody off, I wanted to let you know.

"Daddy long legs" can refer to a few different things. Different people use it to refer to crane flies (an insect), harvestmen (the non-spider arachnid you're thinking of), or cellar spiders.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brown_rat

Its Latin name is "Rattus norvegicus."

"It is not known for certain why the brown rat is named Rattus norvegicus (Norwegian rat), as it did not originate from Norway. However, the English naturalist John Berkenhout, author of the 1769 book Outlines of the Natural History of Great Britain, is most likely responsible for popularizing the misnomer. Berkenhout gave the brown rat the binomial name Rattus norvegicus, believing it had migrated to England from Norwegian ships in 1728."
