His horns are huge. If you rephrased it as huge animal with horns there would be no issue. Now the huge can refer both to the horns or the animal. (The rhino's horns are tiny compared to the rest of him)

Foxes are still hunted in Britain, just not with dogs and also it's not necessarily the aristocracy who do the hunting.

Reminds me of that infamous long-winded 6 minute joke about Jacques de Geauxties and his adventures with dolphins that eventually crescendos into the lamest pun ever uttered on national television, by Norm Macdonald on Conan O'Brien. Google it if you have the time... I watched it 3 years ago and it haunts me to this day.

For the "Q" bird... I tried typing in something close to "Quetzalcoatl" and got NO CREDIT !!! why not? My spelling might have been off by a letter somewhere ... but that's one hell of a word to spell correctly!! Challenging quiz! I got a 96% by missing that one Q-bird.

Like camels and Brahmin cattle it is fat tissue. It helps with minimizing heat distribution in their bodies, which is a good thing in arid lands.

Not sure but does Ibex qualify for African antelope / car?
+2
Level 61
Mar 8, 2018
No because there's no car called an Ibex, and also the ibex isn't really an antelope, it's a goat. And it lives in the Alps.
+1
Level 74
Mar 14, 2018
I think you're probably right that it shouldn't be included, but -

Ibex car - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ibex_(vehicle)

Ibex African antelope - https://www.livescience.com/28102-ibex.html

(end of first paragraph)

Both are a little tenuous

I was going to say that tamarin should be accepted for T too, but then I saw "huge eyes".

Tarsiers look creepy as heck because of their giant eyes. I wouldn't want to see one in real life.

The Dugong is not a relative of the manatee - they are one and the same with a different name

Level 78
Nov 14, 2024
Manatees, of which there are three living species (the Amazonian manatee, Trichechus inunguis; the West Indian or North American manatee, T. manatus; and the African manatee, T. senegalensis) are in the Sirenia order and the Trichechidae family.

The dugong (Dugong dugon) is also in the Sirenia order, but in the Dugonidae family (the only living members.) They have a dolphin-like fluked tail and a long snout, in contrast to the round, paddle-like tail and shorter snout of the manatees, among other differences.
