For some reason, I always had the impression in my mind's eye that echidnas were fugly, but that little guy is adorable!! And for my fellow quizzers who enjoy a bit of trivia, I just learned that echidnas and platypuses are the only non-extinct mammals that lay eggs.

Another bit of trivia...there is a word, extant, for animals that are still living. ;)

You got me on pangolin, capybara and echidna- no idea what any of them look like! Thanks!!

Never heard of a pangolin in my life. I thought it looked like an anteater and tried that but no luck. Then I looked it up and saw that it also is called a scaly anteater so I wasn't so far wrong even though they are no longer classified in the anteater order.

No - it's a cape buffalo, not a water buffalo. Water buffalo are a different species.

I totally mixed up the wombat with quagga, tried a zilion different ways of spellings. Also could not think of capybara, and pangolin obviously wasnt an armadillo, but couldnt think of that one either.

Plus tried wisent auroch (uroch urus) and many things for the big bovine, the muskox. We only have the basic black and white cow here no big horned bovines so I never know the names for them, it all blurs into one for me.

But only 4 wrong isnt too bad (including the difficulty of knowing the English translation) If I was more awake I would have gotten capybara and wombat too. Dont think I pangolin would have drifted up and muskox I simply didnt know.

Btw I think the echidna is hilarious, always smile when I see it come by. But maybe that is because of "fantastic beasts and where to find them"

Even if you didn't mix them up you probably wouldn't have gotten it! Quagga in an extinct zebra, so you mixed up wombat with quokka and quokka with quagga ;p

In the same way that a badger is a kind of weasel, sure. But answering "weasel" when confronted with a picture of a badger is just as incorrect as answering "squirrel" for chipmunk.

fun fact: the muskox is not an ox, but rather an ancient giant goat. that is a prehistoric goat right there :3
