Another correction, Pterodactyls is more of a nickname. No actual species is called Pterodactyl.

A satellite is not necessarily man-made. The moon is a natural satellite, the orbiting another celestial body is key.

But if it is a man-made machine orbiting the earth, then it is a satellite, after all, is it not?

I don't really have a problem if ballons, zeppelins and blimps are said to be flying, though stricly speaking, flying relies on the aerodynamic balance between gravity and lift, and not on density. Comets and satellites clearly don't fly though, they are in free motion in the void. Satellites in low earth orbit undergo a bit of friction from the outer layer of the atmosphere but I wouldn't call that flying...

If we accept that a satellite or a comet "fly", then any object with mass can do it, too (a rock, animal, a table, a person...)

"Things That Can Levitate or Be in Motion Through the Air or in the Void in a Way That is Not Necessarily Always Technically Accurately Called Flying" would be a bit of a tongue-twister for the title, so I think it's fin as is.

@Alex by the time you took the quiz, the original clue had been changed, thanks to the mammal lobby :) I'd also like to tip my hat to flying rats who are, for the record, pigeons.

A satellite is not a machine, moons are satelites. The things orbiting the earth for images and gps etc are manmade satellite.Satelite simply means something that stays nearby/hangs around something else. You could say a follower

Or is the quizmaster of the persuasion that moons are actually hollow machines used to spy on us? ;)

I always thought hummingbirds were the fastest birds. After looking it up I learned they are the fastest according to length traveled per body length but at 40 mph they are nowhere near the fastest bird. Another "fact" taught to me in grade school shot down. However, one fact that I think still holds is that bats are not rodents. As tripdoc said, they are in their own order.

phoenixes don't breathe fire, however they are born from fire and can't be harmed by it.

Tinker Bell uses “pixie dust” not “fairy dust”. It logically follows that she’s a pixie.

Tad more leeway on the spelling of the Dinosaur and the Hindenburg would be nice.

True. . .There is no gravity in space; they float in orbit around a larger body.
