Animal riddles (1–10)
Silhouette Quiz

It’s a game where you guess animals from solid black silhouettes.
Whether with a large group or just parent and child, you can watch this video together and let kids have fun.
You can also enjoy it in a different way by doing something similar with paper-cut art using origami.
A simple animal quiz

This is a very simple animal-guessing quiz for children.
Even if the riddles are far too easy for adults, kids might develop their brains by working through simple things like these.
Let’s gently watch over them while resisting the urge to give them the answer.
In doing so, parents cultivate their own patience.
Animal discovery! Trompe-l’oeil (optical illusion) quiz

It’s said that there are five animals hidden in a single picture that, at a glance, just looks like a simple yellow-and-black pattern.
If you can find all the animals within one minute, your IQ is supposedly 200! You might find it easier if you squint, look from a distance, or turn the image upside down.
The answers are provided at the end.
Animal Riddles (11–20)
What kind of food makes tanuki come over when you eat it?

This is a video compilation of riddles set at an easy difficulty.
The riddle “What food attracts tanuki (raccoon dogs) when you eat it?” is apparently answered with “tanuki soba,” but this is the first time I’ve heard of tanuki soba.
Is it like the red fox one and that green thing?
Animal riddles with an abnormally low correct answer rate

Here’s a rather—actually very—difficult riddle in Japanese: “At the zoo, I counted the animals in order.
Then the 17th animal flipped over and didn’t get back up.
What animal is it?” The answer seems to be “lion.” It’s a wordplay on flipping “No.
17” upside down.
Tricky!
How does it look?

Animals perceive the world differently from humans in terms of color and how things look.
How about turning that into a quiz? It would be educational, and once people learn about it, they’ll definitely want to share it with friends.
Since it’s hard to judge based solely on images of how things look, adding hints is a must.
Can you guess the animal sounds?

This is a quiz video where you can listen to the sounds of various animals.
Three animal illustrations appear, and you choose from them, so it seems like small children can simply enjoy it.
I can picture little kids having a lively, fun time together.
