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 :)

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)

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.

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

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.

@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.

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

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

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

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.

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

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

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

After a quick look at wikipedia it seems Marmots and Prairie dogs are 2 related genera in the aptly named family of "ground squirrels", which also includes chipmunks.

So not like humans and great apes, but rather like human and chimpanzee.

As a European, I did not know any of this, and guessed Marmot because I never even heard of prairie dogs. I was even desperate enough to try chipmunk.

Well, at least I learned something.

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

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

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.

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."

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...

RobNobody

Level 79

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.
