[For Elementary School Students] 3-Choice Quiz to Deepen Knowledge of Living Creatures (11–20)
Which of these is not an insect?
- mantis
- fly
- Spider
See the answer
Spider
Praying mantises and flies are classified as insects because their bodies are divided into head, thorax, and abdomen, and they have six legs. Spiders, on the other hand, are also arthropods like insects but are classified in the class Arachnida, so they are not insects. Spiders also differ from insects in that their bodies are divided into the cephalothorax and abdomen and they have eight legs.
Which of the following creatures cannot jump backward?
- Kangaroo
- rabbit
- Frog
See the answer
Kangaroo
Due to their unique skeletal and muscular structure, kangaroos cannot jump backward. Their long, developed legs and large tail play a role in maintaining balance, and while this body design is well-suited for forward jumping, it prevents backward movement. As a result, kangaroos are greatly limited when it comes to moving in reverse or jumping backward.
Two-choice quiz about sea creatures
Guess the creature from its name! In the “Two-Choice Sea Creatures Quiz,” you’re given the name of a creature and choose the real one from two illustrations.
Both illustrations depict real marine animals, so it’s fun to think things like, “Which one is the jellyfish?” or “Is the clownfish this brightly colored one, or the one with this pattern?” Even if you know the names, you might not know what they actually look like, making it engaging for both kids and adults.
It’s perfect for prepping before a trip to the aquarium or for free time at school.
After checking the answers, we recommend looking them up for real.
It’s a quiz that helps you learn more about marine life while you play.
Animal Quiz
Let’s have fun with a quiz themed around animal trivia! Since this is aimed at children, each question has three choices to pick from.
Even kids who don’t know much about animals can enjoy it casually, so give it a try.
It’s packed with surprising facts you may think you know but don’t—like the color of a polar bear’s fur, what’s inside a camel’s hump, and the color of a hippo’s sweat! Animals are familiar to children, so this could be a great opportunity to learn while having fun.
Make good use of it—and enjoy!
What shape does a pine cone resemble after a squirrel has gnawed on it?
- banana
- corn
- Fried shrimp
See the answer
Fried shrimp
After squirrels gnaw on pine cones to eat the seeds, the scales on the surface are stripped off, leaving a long, curled shape. Because this looks just like a fried shrimp, people affectionately call it a “squirrel’s fried shrimp.” Finding one is also a clue that squirrels live in that forest.
How often do sloths go to the bathroom?
- Once a day
- Once a week
- Once a month
See the answer
Once a week
Sloths are very energy-efficient animals, and it’s said that not only their movements but also their bodily functions are slow. For that reason, going to the toilet about once a week is normal. This is thought to be an adaptation to conserve limited energy and to reduce the risks of coming down to the ground. Because descending to the ground to defecate is dangerous for sloths, they have a unique lifestyle of excreting infrequently and all at once.

How far can an owl turn its head at most?
- about 90 degrees
- about 180 degrees
- about 270 degrees
See the answer
about 270 degrees
An owl’s neck can rotate up to about 270 degrees. Unlike humans and many other animals, owls have as many as 14 neck vertebrae and a specialized blood vessel structure. Thanks to this, they can survey a wide area without moving their bodies, which helps when targeting prey. Some people may have been startled to see an owl suddenly turn its head toward them while its body was facing the opposite direction.
