This is the biggest land mammal: it has helped humans with heavy work in Africa and India. If it goes wild it can be spectacularly dangerous, but usually it is a slow and peaceful animal, with a strong family instinct. Apart from its huge size, you would recognise its head at once by the two tusks, long trunk and enormous ears.
What animal is this?

An elephant
A rhinoceros
A hippopotamus
A moose
Have you heard the song "Nelly the elephant"?

Which of these is the Herbivore ( = a creature that only eats vegetable matter ) ?

'I am the national animal of China. I am a type of bear, with a white coat and black patches over my eyes, ears, shoulders and legs. I am very 'choosy' about the bamboo that I eat, and about when (or whether) I have any children.
What am I?'

A bear
A polar bear
A panda

In terms of DNA analysis, which of these creatures is the closest 'relative' to human beings?
The dolphin
The pig
The chimpanzee
The gorilla
It depends a bit on whose research you read, but Chimpanzees have about 96% of the same genes as we do.
Notice that we say 'the chimpanzee, the lion ... ' etc. when we are talking about a species.

... big feet.
... long necks.

English, famously, has a whole list of special names for 'groups' (collectives) of certain kinds of bird. But there is one general word for a group of birds, particularly if the birds are actually flying; and we use the same collective term for a group of sheep. What is this word?
A bunch
A herd
A flock
A troop
Yes, perhaps rather surprisingly: we can have a flock of birds, and a flock of sheep. (See if you can find both, in a picture of the British countryside!)
