Guess the Animal
Which animals are the closest living relatives to the T. Rex?
-Chickens, Cows, Pigs, or Ducks
-Chickens
True or False?
There are more chickens in the world than people.
True
The statement is true because the global chicken population is estimated to be over 23 billion, while the human population is around 7.8 billion. Therefore, there are significantly more chickens in the world than people.
True or False?
A normal cow's stomach has 4 compartments.
True
A normal cow's stomach has 4 compartments. This is true because cows have a unique digestive system called a ruminant digestive system. It consists of four compartments: the rumen, reticulum, omasum, and abomasum. Each compartment serves a specific purpose in the digestion process, allowing cows to efficiently break down and extract nutrients from plant material.
True or False?
Pigs don't have sweat glands.
True
Pigs don’t have sweat glands, so they must roll in mud to stay cool and prevent sunburns.
True or False?
Horses can vomit.
False
Horses are unable to vomit due to the structure of their esophagus and stomach muscles. Unlike humans and many other animals, horses have a one-way valve at the entrance to their stomach, which prevents the backward flow of food and stomach contents. This means that when a horse has an upset stomach or ingests something toxic, they are unable to expel it through vomiting. Therefore, the statement that horses can vomit is false.
Which highly social animals love to sleep nose-to-nose?
-Sheep, Pigs, Horses, or Cows
Pigs
Pigs are very social animals who even snuggle up nose to nose while sleeping if kept in groups. They are very chatty, with a vocabulary of over 20 different sounds
How many different sounds can a chicken make?
-20, 50, 100, or 200
200
Chickens have over 200 distinct noises they can make to communicate.
Dairy cows provide how much of the entire planet’s milk supply?
-65%, 80%, 90%, or 100%
80%
Cows provide 80% of the world's milk supply!
True or False?
Pigs are smarter than dogs.
True
Pigs are incredibly smart animals, and their high level of intelligence consistently ranks them as one of the smartest animals in the world. Research into their high cognitive ability shows that they can play complex games, use tools, recognize their own name, and learn basic commands and tricks.
True or False?
Cows can sense a storm coming.
True
Cows can sense a storm coming and will lie down.
Which animal has a good memory and can remember at least fifty individual animals of the same species – and humans – for years?
-Horses, Cows, Pigs, or Sheep
Sheep
Sheep can remember faces, but only 50!
What is the longest recorded flight of a chicken?
-5, 13, 15, or 30 seconds
13 Seconds
Chickens are not known for their flying abilities, as they have small wings and are generally not built for sustained flight. While they can flap their wings and get off the ground for short distances, their flights are typically brief. Therefore, the longest recorded flight of a chicken being 13 seconds seems plausible, as it aligns with their limited flying capabilities.
12 of more cows is known as a ____.
-Herd, Flink, Nook, or Flock
Herd
A group of twelve or more cows is commonly referred to as a herd. The term "flink" is not a recognized term for a group of cows.
On average, how long do pigs live?
-5, 8, 12, or 15 years
15 years
Pigs typically live for around 15 years. This is the longest lifespan among the given options. Pigs that are well taken care of and provided with a healthy diet and environment can live even longer. It is important to note that the lifespan of a pig can vary depending on factors such as breed, genetics, and living conditions.
True or False?
In its entire lifetime, the average worker bee produces one teaspoon of honey.
False
Worker bees actually produce much less than one teaspoon of honey in their entire lifetime. On average, a worker bee produces only about 1/12th of a teaspoon of honey. This is because worker bees have a relatively short lifespan of about 6 weeks, during which they spend most of their time performing other tasks such as collecting nectar, building and maintaining the hive, and taking care of the queen and larvae. Honey production is primarily done by the specialized bees called "forager bees" who spend their entire lives collecting nectar and converting it into honey.
Which animal has an excellent sense of smell and can detect odors up to six miles away?
-Goats, Sheep, Cows, or Ducks
Cows
Chickens absorb vitamin D through their ____ from sunshine.
-Feet, Beak, Combs, or Skin
Combs
Chickens absorb vitamin D through their combs from sunshine. The comb is a fleshy, red, and raised area on top of a chicken's head. It is highly vascularized, meaning it has a lot of blood vessels, which allows for the absorption of vitamin D from sunlight. The skin, beak, and feet of chickens do not have the same level of vascularity as the comb, making them less efficient at absorbing vitamin D.
How long is a cow's memory?
-1 day, 1 month, 1 year or 3 years
3 years
How fast can pigs run?
-1, 5, 8, or 11 miles per hour
11 miles per hour
That's faster than a 6 minute mile!
What was the first bird domesticated by man?
-Chicken, Turkey, Goose, or Guinea
Chicken
The chicken was the first bird to be domesticated by humans. This occurred around 5,000 years ago in Southeast Asia. Chickens were initially domesticated for their eggs and later for their meat. They are now one of the most common and widely consumed domesticated animals in the world.
What was the first animal to be domesticated?
-Cows, Pigs, Horses, or Goats
Goats
Goats were the first animal to be domesticated, according to many historians.
How many eggs does an average chicken lay in one year?
-127, 227, 327, or 427
227
On average, a chicken can lay around 300 eggs per year. However, this number can vary depending on factors such as breed, age, and environmental conditions. Therefore, it is reasonable to assume that an average chicken would lay around 227 eggs in one year.
How much water do cows drink every day?
1-5 Gallons
10-22 Gallons
25-50 Gallons
55-70 Gallons

Pigs are considered the 4th most intelligent animal (after chimpanzees, dolphins, and elephants).
What is the underside of a horse's hoof called? It peels off several times a year with new growth.
-Sole, Heel, Tort, or Frog
Frog
The underside of a horse's hoof is called the frog. The frog is a soft, triangular-shaped structure located at the back of the hoof. It acts as a shock absorber and helps with traction and circulation. The frog also plays a role in the natural shedding process of the hoof, where it peels off several times a year to allow for new growth.
