Animal Trivia Questions by Animal

Pick an animal; its pack asks about nothing else.

Every pack here stays with a single animal, or with the animals of one place, and never borrows a question from the pack next door. Rounds follow the animal: what its name means, how its body is built, what it eats and how it finds food, how the young grow up, and where it shares ground with people.

That lets a zoo club run a whole evening on elephants, or a host drop the wolf round into a mixed quiz. Each question offers four answers. Choosing one reveals the correct answer, a sentence of explanation, and the Wikipedia article the fact was read in. Head counts of wild animals, present-day conservation rankings and individual record holders are not asked, since new surveys keep changing them. No pack gives advice on keeping, feeding or approaching an animal.
