[For Seniors] Fun 3-Choice Animal Quiz! Introducing Questions Full of Surprises and Discoveries

To prevent body heat from escaping

Flamingos stand on one leg to prevent their body temperature from dropping even in water. Because birds’ legs generally lack feathers, they cool down easily when exposed to air or water. By tucking one leg up into their bodies, flamingos reduce heat loss.

chocolate

Chocolate contains theobromine, which is harmful to dogs, and eating it can cause symptoms such as vomiting, diarrhea, palpitations, and tremors. In the worst case, it can be fatal, so you must never give it to them. In addition to chocolate, it’s best to avoid cocoa and products that contain caffeine.

black

Polar bears may be covered in fluffy white fur, but their skin is actually black. Because they live in extremely cold regions, they have a thick layer of fat beneath their skin. Their white fur lets sunlight pass through, and the black skin absorbs the sunlight, helping to keep their bodies warm.

laugh

We humans can’t help but laugh when we’re tickled, right? It’s the same for rats—they laugh too. But their laughter is at a frequency humans can’t hear, so we can’t pick it up.

walk backwards

The answer is to walk backward. It’s said that if you turn your backside to the dog, it won’t bark. There are some dogs that bark loudly and can be scary even during a walk. In such cases, walk backward and quietly move away.

nose

The hole on top of a dolphin’s head is called a blowhole, and it corresponds to what we would call the nose. Since dolphins are mammals like humans, they need to come up for air to survive in the water. They breathe by exhaling and inhaling through this blowhole.

About 20 minutes

In the wild, giraffes can’t sleep for long stretches at a time because they need to protect themselves from predators. Their total daily sleep averages only about 20 minutes, which is remarkably short. Incidentally, they sleep standing up, staying constantly alert so they can detect danger and flee immediately.
