The animal kingdom keeps breaking its own records
Speed, size and lifespan records rarely belong to the animals people expect.
The cheetah wins on land, but the peregrine falcon is far faster in a dive, and the blue whale outweighs every dinosaur ever found. Anatomy is stranger still: octopuses run on three hearts and blue blood, and a giraffe’s neck contains exactly the same seven vertebrae as yours. These outliers are quiz favourites precisely because intuition points the wrong way.
Scoring: one point per correct answer. 0-3 makes you a Beginner, 4-7 an Explorer and 8-10 a Master. Your best result is kept in this browser, so you can come back and try to beat it.
