Animal and Living Creature Trivia (11–20)
What is the origin of the name ‘albatross’?
- Because they'll be caught by humans right away.
- Because its call goes 'aho'.
- Because it flies as if dancing.
- a dreamy personality
See the answer
Because they'll be caught by humans right away.
Despite being designated a Special Natural Monument of Japan, the short-tailed albatross has a rather inglorious name, doesn’t it? The bird is not very wary and won’t flee even when humans approach on land. Its gait is clumsy, and as a result it was easily caught by people. It’s said that this is how it came to be called the “ahō-dori” (literally, “foolish bird”).
Which smells do centipedes dislike?
- alcohol
- milk
- mint
- dashi (Japanese soup stock)
See the answer
mint
Centipedes tend to avoid strong, pungent odors and are particularly sensitive to the smell of peppermint. The menthol in peppermint stimulates their nervous system and keeps them from approaching. Therefore, as a countermeasure against centipedes, it is effective to dilute peppermint oil, put it in a spray bottle, and apply it to window sashes, entryways, and similar areas. Because it is natural and has a high safety profile, it is a popular method of insect repellent.
What color is the sweat-like secretion that hippos produce?
- green
- yellow
- red
- white
See the answer
red
Some of you might find the hippos lounging around at the zoo quite adorable. I’ve heard that when you watch hippos, you may see a red liquid coming out of their skin. Since it comes from the skin, you might think it’s “red sweat,” but it’s actually an oil that protects their bodies. The red pigment blocks ultraviolet rays and protects the skin of hairless hippos from strong sunlight.
Why are flamingos’ bodies red?
- Because the number of mutated individuals increased.
- Because it serves as an appealing factor during breeding.
- Because the bait contains a red pigment.
- Because I want to soak up sunlight efficiently.
See the answer
Because the bait contains a red pigment.
Flamingos have vividly colored feathers and long, slender necks and legs. You can see them at zoos and aquariums. But in fact, flamingos are originally birds with white feathers. Their trademark red and pink plumage comes from pigments in their food. Wild flamingos often eat algae and small crustaceans. The carotenoids and pigments they contain are what make the feathers turn pink.
What is the fastest-growing plant in the world?
- sunflower
- Japanese pampas grass
- Rafflesia
- bamboo
See the answer
bamboo
Bamboo grows extremely fast, and in particular, a type called moso bamboo has reportedly grown more than one meter in a single day under favorable conditions. This growth rate is astonishing even in the plant kingdom and has been recognized by Guinness World Records as the fastest-growing plant in the world.
