I knew what a Kea was, but wasn't about to get it from the photo alone.

After Kookaburra didn't take, I pretty much gave up on that one. I was also in the (slightly broader) general geographic area, but no dice.

Couldn't the choices for K & V be a little more a part of today's world?

Could K be Kiwi, Kangaroo, Koala, Kingfisher, or Komodo Dragon ??

Could V be an animal that is living now rather than one 70 million years ago ---> like Vulture, Viper, Vicuna or Vole ??

I'm wondering what the JetPunk guidelines are for ever changing questions in a Quiz like this?

How does it all work here?

Keas are very much "a part of today's world." And now you've learned something! Really, the V question wasn't hard.

And the guidelines are what are expressed in the quiz description. I wouldn't say that a quiz like this is "ever changing."

Keas would have struggled to acquire such a love for ripping apart windscreen wipers if they weren't part of today's world...

Also, keas love those metallic wrappers prepared hotdogs and hamburgers come in; I do NOT understand why ski resorts were actually selling them that way! Thankfully, I got my burger out of the wrapper before the kea made off with it. // For those of you that enjoy learning a little something with your quiz-taking, keas are the only alpine parrot in the world! They are native to New Zealand, and look much greener than this picture shows when they're viewed against the snow! And oh yeah – they like shiny things :-)

The last time I was in New Zealand I was on the road to Milford Sound and stopped for a photograph. A mischievous kea, ready in waiting, swooped down out of the tree and began pulling the long rubber strip off the top of my car. Trying to shoo it away was futile - it thought it was a hilarious game. I had to get in the car and start driving away, reaching 30kph before it finally let go and flew off, defeated, the rubber strip tumbling to the ground behind my car. Had to turn the car around, pick up the strip and attach it back on to the car...

How long did you spend trying to think of a real animal that looked like a horse and had a single horn? I scoured my “U” encyclopedia Britannica for hours with the quiz paused. Well then I found my answer! The unicornfish! Now, it didn’t look like a horse at all in the photo, but I’ll be darned, it worked! And it even accepted it as a type-in without “fish”. Maybe they should change the photo to one that looks more like a fish and less like a horse, though.

Kakapo should be acceptable for the "K". they are nearly identical and without showing it in flight there is no decent way to determine the difference. I wasted a good minute trying different spellings.

Nov 16, 2020
What @idontkn?????? Kakapo look nothing like Kea. Kakapo are huge, (the largest parrot) can't fly, are way fluffier, and have way different beaks along with many other visual differences. Look it up if you need. They dont look alike apart from the colour. If you excepted Kakapo for Kea it would be like accepting Emu for Ostrich, or Leopard for Jaguar.

May 23, 2022
Ah, the advantage of being from New Zealand and seeing kea in the mountains. Just to let you know, from the photo it is immediately obvious to the trained eye it is a kea. A kakapo is a ground parrot that cannot fly and has a fluffy face. Kea have been known to attack sheep!

What on earth is a ladybird? Have you ever seen a bird before?
+2
Level 70
May 24, 2022
Back to "ladybird" versus "ladybug." Although I am not a Brit, I favor the term "ladybird." These insects are beetles, not bugs. They were called "ladybirds" long before they were called "ladybugs." This is another example of an animal name that underwent mutation after the English crossed the pond. Perhaps it was bad grog on the way over, or something. Same sort of mess happened with buzzards, elk, and so forth. "Two countries divided by a common language," in Shaw's apt description.

"Bugs" is a general term that includes all insects and arachnids, so these insects are defnitely bugs. In any case, they are definitely not birds.

Elk? What do British people call elk?
+1
Level 48
Aug 15, 2024
an elk is what you would call a moose. the terms date back centuries to when elk were all over europe, but they died out in the uk. the word 'elk' eventually just became a term for very big deer rather than a specific species. when they went over they saw a huge fucking deer and went "ah elk!" then realised you still have what we call an elk as well, which became "moose". there is no equivalent species to your elk over here, so basically people went elk! and then saw an actual elk species and went ah shit well that can be a moose i guess
