It used to be MGM Studios. If they wanted to be kind they would accept that. But Universal is definitely a whole different studio and whole separate theme park. Disney's first major competitor in both the LA and Orlando areas.
Same here, only I never knew about the name change. The quiz makes it obvious whatever it's called now has more than three letters, but I had absolutely no idea what it was.
Got everything but the four land animals, because at that moment I forgot this was a U.S. only quiz and ran through all of the obvious suspects (elephant, rhinoceros, hippo) before moving on to the more esoteric (diplodocus, etc). Sigh.
Same here! Was about to come here and complain that how on earth are there no elephants etc. that are clearly heavier than bears and moose, and then it hit me :'D
Shouldn't the fourth heaviest land animal in the US be the moose rather than the elk? Wikipedia suggests the moose is heavier (a maximum of over 1400lb for the Alaska moose compared with 1300lb for the Roosevelt elk).
Yep. I would definitely agree, Can't even blame this one on the quiz maker being German. That was a good three hours of my life I want back when I went down that rabbit hole the first time I was there. Boy things are much easier now in the age of smart phones.
My neighbor has a team of Belgians that aren't far behind that and they are the calmest, most gentle horses I've ever around, but of course neither breed is native to the USA.
For some reason, my brain just threw out "U.S." when it came to heaviest land animals. I wrote elephant, giraffe, hippo, rhino, etc. I got to the answer reveal and for a second I thought, "No way a brown bear is heavier than an elephant". smh
I looked up brown bears and it says that adults weigh between 180 lbs and 1300 lbs. Considering that the heaviest American on record is Jon Brower Minnoch who topped 1400 lbs, shouldn't "Americans" knock brown bears off the list of "heaviest American land animals?"
What order are the Mississippi River cities in? I assumed it was north to south, and it took me a long time to fill in the blank between MSP and St. Louis.
There is only one place in the United States where the borders of four different states meet. At the four corners, it's possible to be in four states at the same time. I've never been there, but it's a popular tourist destination from what I've read.
I've been there, and there's a large flat monument where one can stand in a single spot and snap a selfie while standing in all four states. Not sure why that ever became a big deal, but it's owned and maintained by the Navajo who charge an admission fee and sell food and souvenirs at the site. I picked up a nice art print there. The monument also highlights the Navajo and Ute tribes in the region.
I've been there. It's not that exciting, but it's a nice thing to knock of the bucket list. I have to go to four more states to get all 50. I've been stuck at 46 for a number of years now.
Totally forgot this quiz was about America. I was freaking out that it wouldn't accept elephant as heaviest land animal. I tried elephant, rhino, hippo...
I was getting ready to cuss jetpunk from the mountain tops. I'm like oh hell naw, a polar bear don't weigh more than an elephant..............to which i realized, there are no american elephants...........jetpunk 1 my ego 0
