Dromedaries are camels. Bactrian camels are their closest relatives, and together with the new world camels (Llama, Alpaca, Vicuña, Guanaco) they form the family of camels. So technically speaking, there are two camels in this quiz.
The pointed nose nailed it for me. The voles in my garden look like short-tailed mice. Evil, despicable, thieving, disgusting, greedy, prolific, short-tailed meadow mice that ravage my sweet potatoes and other crops. Voles, along with squash bugs and bermuda grass, are the banes of my gardening existence. I was standing in the path one day and I saw a corn plant begin to quiver. Right before my eyes the plant suddenly disappeared underground. I did a doubletake and then began furiously digging with my hoe and found a mole tunnel being used by voles. I found the corn plant in it but the vole was long gone. I felt like Elmer Fudd in a Looney Tunes cartoon going after the "wascally wabbit", except in my case it was a vole. I've tried everything - Juicy Fruit gum in the tunnels, cats, digging a perimeter and lining with 12" of hardware cloth with the bottom bent backward, nothing has worked except snakes. I welcome non-poisonous snakes in my garden as they are the best control I've found.
Would you be willing to accept "Tazmanian Devil"? It's my fault for not knowing how to spell Tasmania, but felt like it should have known what I was trying to type.
Great quiz! Feel free to try these quizzes of mine of close up animal shots:) https://www.jetpunk.com/user-quizzes/252498/who-am-i .........https://www.jetpunk.com/user-quizzes/252498/who-am-i-animal-noses-and-mouths
I am thinking that the photo registered as a baboon is rather a mandrill, but upon reflection I recognise that I am wrong. However, I am not convinced that the monkey is not ANOTHER creature than the baboon of my childhood zoo visits.
Buffalo should not be accepted for bison. Buffalo do not live in the western hemisphere. Buffalo and bison are far less related than alligators and crocodiles.
In zoology, animals have a common name and a scientific name. Since this quiz involves animals, common name means the common name in the field of animals (zoology), not the colloquial name. It's like calling indigenous people Indians. Colloquially it is used, but it is incorrect. Indians live in or have ancestry in the country of India
Therefore, there is only one correct answer: BISON. Buffalo is incorrect as defined by zoology, zoos, Yellowstone valley, Britannica, etc. You can learn more below.
the other 4 are all camelids along with the 2 well known types of camels
Because it's a good source.
