The easy/silly quiz thread

[classic33]

Homo erectus? They died out over 100,000 years ago. The chimp isn't habitually bipedal, although it can walk upright for short bursts. So can baboons, gibbons, and orang utans. But no, this animal walks on two legs almost all the time.

Possibly half that.

I've ruled myself out by googling - and I am still sure of the answer. Awaiting with baited breath the truth.

Not a spoiler, but the wikipedia page on bipedalism includes to the sad tale of Pedals, the bear.

Kangaroo Rat ?

Is it a kangaroo or wallaby?

These are all marsupials.

I still don't know if this is what the OP intended for this thread. Is it supposed to be a riddle/ logic puzzle thread, or is it a trivia/ general knowledge quiz? If the latter, shouldn't we have some rules?

T-Rex?

Seriously, give us a clue, is it some sort of ape or monkey?

 

[MikeG]

It isn't an ape or monkey. There are something like 6 or 8 species and sub species, and it is a burrow dweller, endangered by Chinese medicine.

 

[AndyRM]

A pangolin?

 

[MikeG]

Yep, it's a pangolin. Not every species (there are arboreal pangolins).



Over to you.

 

[jefmcg]

Or a kangaroo rat, which is a rat, not a kangaroo.

Troo dat is gavna!
Although to me it was always just 'his' voice- never occurred to me that it was a really bad accent until I read the MP wiki article!

Any Welsh accent in the film "How Green Was My Valley"

Strangely, the accents in the book were spot on
