Quiz question
Old 27-03-2008

We do the Liverpool Echo quiz at work.
Today one of the questions was
Which animal's tongue is twice the length of its body?
One of my colleagues answered - "anteater" - can you imagine? lol!

Yep! Everyone got the first question right - what type of animal is an okapi - mammal, insect or amphibian? And most got dead leaf, paper kite, blue striped crow and great egg fly are all types of what?

Yes, I'd be surprised if there was an animal question you couldn't get right! ha. Have you ever considered junior mastermind?

Haha Jonathan Beilby, specialist subject, Penelopides hornbills!!

Any more questions?

How about we make a zoobeat questionnaire, sending our questions, and answers to sim! Then he could compile them all into a big questionnaire, and then we have to send it back to him. The winner wins the glory of being the smartest on zoobeat!

An animal questionnaire sounds fun!
the only other animal themed question I can find from the Echo is 'How many eyes does a tarantula have?'

Question
Old 28-03-2008

I think I may have an alternative (and possibly better) answer - the sword-billed hummingbird.
I did a little research (a one page Google search) and found this scan of a skeleton http://www.ups.edu/Images/SlaterMuse...llskelFull.jpg: I think that its tongue will be almost as long as its bill.

Can anyone confirm or deny this?

Alan

what about the giant hawk moth of Madagascar? Its proboscis must be well over twice its body length.

there used to be a quiz thread. we played by the rules that whoever answered correctly got the right to ask the next question. it worked on an honesty basis, that nobody was using google!

Should we start a new thread, or carry on with this one?
