Animal quiz - Magical Realist - Apr 29, 2026 Match the feline species to the continent(s) it is indigenous to: lion, tiger, jaguar, cougar, bobcat, polecat RE: Animal quiz - confused2 - Apr 29, 2026 OCD (or something) here.. polecats aren't a feline species .. does that matter? Kind of links in to the more general question of what (if anything) matters. I find myself suddenly overwhelmed by the futility of ABSOLUTLY EVERYTHING. Waiter, there's a polecat in my soup. I'm sorry sir, that isn't your soup that's a polecat. I was expecting soup. I'll take the polecat away. RE: Animal quiz - Magical Realist - Apr 29, 2026 LOL Yeah..I threw in polecat at the last second to screw with people. I remember when it referred to a skunk, but google says it also refers to a kind of weasel. RE: Animal quiz - confused2 - Apr 30, 2026 Without even needing AI or google.. lion - Africa tiger - not Africa! - Asia + Siberia (which might be in Asia) jaguar - probably Africa cougar - California bobcat - N.America polecat - not cats but probably Europe RE: Animal quiz - Magical Realist - May 3, 2026 Everything looks correct! You win! I learned from Jeopardy though that there IS a species of lion in India called the Asiatic Lion: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o-nE5EOtvaQ Oh, and the Jaguar lives in Central and South America: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tx6r7QX2iXk RE: Animal quiz - Magical Realist - May 3, 2026 10 point animal bonus question: If snakes sang like birds, do you think we wouldn't be so scared of them? Or would we instead be afraid of their seductive siren songs?
