This quiz prompted me to look up the difference between a tarsier and a bushbaby, as I'd always assumed they were the same thing. Thank you, Quizmaster - got to learn something new and also look at lots of adorable photos of bushbabies :)

Level 72

Jan 16, 2020

Bushbaby sounds sweet, our translation for tarsier is ghost-animal (or ghoul/phantom etc). Btw I always mix em up with ayeayes which we call finger-animal (and funnily the name tarsier comes from the long tarsal bones), because well they look even creepier haha. Both are lemuroideae btw.

Edit:ah and I just found out lemur is actually ghost in latin (wait I think I knew that already, but completely forgotten it)

Level 59

Feb 18, 2021

I thought it was a bush baby. Never heard of a tarsier (but animals are not really my thing:))

Level 68

Feb 18, 2021

I said bush baby, kinkajou, lemur...but never heard of Tarsier. They are cute.

Level 60

Jun 11, 2021

I just know them from a sign at my zoo

Level 37

Feb 24, 2021

Ditto! Just been comparing AYE-AYE, TARSIER & GALAGO.

I will NOT be caught out again!

Level 39

Nice quiz! Got them all...feel free to try my quiz on close up animal shots called Who am I? :)

Level 62

Maybe except goat?

Level 62

Aug 1, 2018

Accept* except basically means the opposite.

Level 60

Aug 1, 2018

The mountain background is there for a reason. Secondly, domestic goats are a little thin and don't have a lot of fur, unlike the mountain goat. Learned that from living in the Sub-Himalayas, where the Himalayan mountain goat is different from the above two, too.

Level 58

Aug 1, 2018

it's still a goat. why not insist on naming the subspecies of giraffe if the quiz is that pedantic?

+12

Level 16

Aug 1, 2018

actually the mountain goat is a false goat

Level 53

Aug 4, 2018

Despite the name, the mountain goat is of a different genus. The closest they get is that they're of the same subfamily, but that's shared with animals like sheep or ibex.

Level 66

Sep 1, 2020

@camlukfle FYI the giraffe is a Rothschild giraffe

Level 66

Feb 18, 2021

@hirsutebodkin ... Is the prarie dog a type of dog? I actually would have gotten full marks if "squirrel" was accepted, since the animal is a type of ground squirrel.

Level 90

Mar 24, 2020

That's like accepting panda for red panda. They're not very different animals.

Level 56

Feb 17, 2021

@someone2018: You mean they ARE very different animals I guess?

Level 78

Feb 16, 2021

Fun fact: mountain goats are berries, not goats.

Level 67

Dec 4, 2023

They're not goats.

Level 34

Aug 1, 2018

Got em all with 2:59 left!

Level 74

Aug 1, 2018

Didn't know a mole has no eyes! Looks creepy

Level 78

Aug 1, 2018

Strange indeed. It looks like its face had been blurred out, so as to make it unrecognizable.

Level 71

Aug 1, 2018

Which is why in French, we have a saying that says "blind as a mole" (instead of bat in English).

Level 67

Dec 4, 2023

That's actually accurate.

Level 67

Feb 16, 2021

How do they mate?

Level 56

Feb 17, 2021

roadrage: With their eyes

Level 64

Feb 17, 2021

If I had to guess, they have a very good sense of smell. They probably find other moles this way.

Level 48

Jul 7, 2024

All moles do in fact have eyes.

Level 62

Aug 1, 2018

If bat is accepted, goat should be accepted.

Level 58

Aug 1, 2018

same with giraffe, there are different types of those as well. if we keep up the pressure we can topple the regime!

Level 66

Feb 18, 2021

@hirsutebodkin ...still whining about it? The image shows a goat standing on a mountain... it really wasn't that hard

+13

Level 78

Aug 1, 2018

Except a mountain goat is not actually a goat (i.e., a member of the genus Capra), despite its name.

Level 51

Aug 1, 2018

"Tarsus monkey" is also correct for "tarsier." It is so named for it's prominent tarsus bone.

Level 63

Aug 1, 2018

can we not be so hardcore about the spelling of aardvark? i put the double aa's at the end instead of the beginning. bummer.

+17

Level 83

Aug 1, 2018

Rdvarkaa?

Level 72

Jan 16, 2020

No, kravdraa, obviously

Level 66

Feb 16, 2021

Actually Rdvarkaa.

Level 90

Mar 24, 2020

Every kid learns it's at the beginning of the dictionary because of the double A.

People should learn, not insist on everyone else accepting what is wrong.

Level 67

Feb 16, 2021

not everyone has english as his native language

Level 67

Dec 4, 2023

"A-A-R-D-V-A-R-K!"

-a wise aardvark

Level 20

Aug 5, 2018

wtf is a prairie dog? Some sympathy for the Aussie, please

+10

Level 47

Jan 19, 2019

12 of these are not native to the USA so you can't claim America-centric this time

Level 68

Feb 18, 2021

and the Kiwi. It doesn't look like a dog and the background doesn't look like a prairie ;)

Level 54

Oct 23, 2018

I spelt tarsier with a z

Level 66

Feb 16, 2021

Couldn't get Aardvark, or is it Aadvark? :)

Level 67

Feb 16, 2021

i struggle with these, i know all the names in my native language but dont know the english name

Level 64

Feb 17, 2021

Make a quiz in Greek, then

Level 69

Feb 17, 2021

Always thought of jaguars as being black... no idea why. Kept trying leopard and cheetah and I was so mystified as to what else it could be!

Level 73

Feb 17, 2021

Jaguars can be black, but then they are typically called black panthers. To add confusion, leopards can also be all black and be called a panther.

Usually, though, jaguars look like the above image

Level 67

Dec 4, 2023

Some jaguars are black, although most do have that pattern.

Level 55

Feb 18, 2021

Shouldn't 'marmot' also be acceptable instead of prairie dog?

Level 80

Mar 17, 2023

That would be a bit like accepting "Great Ape" for humans

Level 67

Dec 4, 2023

Yep. Not wrong, but with the prairie background and the kissing, it just makes more sense to put prairie dog.

Level 22

Apr 14, 2021

100%!

Level 65

Jun 17, 2022

why specify mountain goat and not specify spotted hyena that makes no sense to me

Level 67

Dec 4, 2023

Maybe because mountain goats aren't goats, so it would be like saying wolf if that hyena was an aardwolf.

Level 70

May 8, 2023

Never knew there was a difference between a prairie dog and a gopher.

Level 67

Dec 4, 2023

Yep, gophers are actually more related to beavers.

Level 20

Nov 8, 2024

Your bat is clearly a flying fox. I do not understand why this was not accepted. If "bat" is the right answer, then "primate" should be the answer for the tarsier and the lemur.

Level 71

Nov 8, 2024

Kinda fun-smotheringly pedantic that we don't take plain ol' "goat" as a type-in big dog

Level 78

Nov 8, 2024

Not really. Mountain goats are not, in fact, goats, so much like "dog" shouldn't be accepted for "prairie dog," "goat" shouldn't be accepted for "mountain goat."

Level 61

Nov 8, 2024

Same comment as Mammals #1 quiz: 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 both full species names & 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. giraffe, chimpanzee. We should be answering Flying Fox, or Common Hippopotamus to this quiz - not just bat or hippo!

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, or French Revolution...

Level 86

Nov 8, 2024

What's the difference between a burro and a donkey?

Level 78

Nov 8, 2024

On one level, nothing. "Burro" is just the Spanish word for "donkey." In the American southwest, however, "burro" has been borrowed into English to specifically mean a small donkey.
