They aren't so big as all that They're big because they use them to help keep cool To help them when they swim across rivers
Correct - They're big because they use them to help keep cool Elephants get very hot in the sun. Their ears are huge and thin, like sails, and they are full of tiny blood vessels. This means they can get rid of heat when they are too hot by using their ears to cool their blood. Because their ears are so big, they can dump heat by radiating it away into the air.

Whole communities live around undersea hot-springs called 'black smokers', for example. They don't need light at all. Some of these animals even make their own light. This is called bioluminescence. Even in the deepest places where the pressure is huge, there are always some animals!
16. Where do koala bears live and what do they eat? They live in Australia , They eat eucalyptus tree leaves Koala bears aren't really bears at all. They are marsupials, like many other Australian animals.

So koalas, like their giant panda friends - which do live in China and do eat bamboo - are in trouble.
17. Honeybees can dance No they can't! Are you crazy? Yes, they're very good dancers Correct - Yes, they're very good dancers Bees can and do dance.

18. My cousins, the emperor penguins, are amazing animals. Which of these facts are correct? There's more than one answer. father hatches the egg father stands in the bitter Antarctic winter for 3 months without eating when the chick hatches, father gives it its first meal although he hasn't eaten for 3 months mother spends winter at sea, feeding on fish mother arrives, full of fish, to take over from father just after the chick has hatched like all penguins, mother brings her chick food in a small bag I'm tricking you. Mother hatches the egg really mother brings back food for her chick in her stomach mother can always find her way back to the rookery, even though she doesn't have satellite navigation (GPS) and may have to walk many miles across featureless ice
Correct father hatches the egg father stands in the bitter Antarctic winter for 3 months without eating when the chick hatches, father gives it its first meal although he hasn't eaten for 3 months mother spends winter at sea, feeding on fish mother arrives, full of fish, to take over from father just after the chick has hatched mother brings back food for her chick in her stomach mother can always find her way back to the rookery, even though she doesn't have satellite navigation (GPS) and may have to walk many miles across featureless ice We king penguins have an easy time of it compared to our emperor cousins. All but two of the answers were correct. Surely you didn't think mother penguins brought their fish back in a bag? And yes, it is the father birds who do the egg hatching in the bitter cold. They have a special pouch above their feet where they keep the egg warm after mother has laid it. Then they huddle together with all the other dads, standing through the long polar night with its blizzards and temperatures down to 50 below zero or more. They even manage to regurgitate a meal for their hungry chicks after they've hatched. 'Regurgitate' means like what humans call 'throwing up' or 'being sick' but it's not because the penguins feel ill! It's just our way of carrying and storing food for our babies. Like I said, amazing, don't you think?
19. What does a bombardier beetle do if it is attacked? It sprays boiling hot fluid at its attacker The boiling fluid is made from poisons called quinones that mix explosively with hydrogen peroxide inside the insect.

They aren't so big as all that They're big because they use them to help keep cool To help them when they swim across rivers
Correct - They're big because they use them to help keep cool Elephants get very hot in the sun. Their ears are huge and thin, like sails, and they are full of tiny blood vessels. This means they can get rid of heat when they are too hot by using their ears to cool their blood. Because their ears are so big, they can dump heat by radiating it away into the air.
4. Why are snakes slimy? They're not To help them slither along They can't help it They live in slimy horrible places

Whole communities live around undersea hot-springs called 'black smokers', for example. They don't need light at all. Some of these animals even make their own light. This is called bioluminescence. Even in the deepest places where the pressure is huge, there are always some animals!
16. Where do koala bears live and what do they eat? They live in Australia , They eat eucalyptus tree leaves Koala bears aren't really bears at all. They are marsupials, like many other Australian animals.

17. Honeybees can dance No they can't! Are you crazy? Yes, they're very good dancers Correct - Yes, they're very good dancers Bees can and do dance.

18. My cousins, the emperor penguins, are amazing animals. Which of these facts are correct? There's more than one answer. father hatches the egg father stands in the bitter Antarctic winter for 3 months without eating when the chick hatches, father gives it its first meal although he hasn't eaten for 3 months mother spends winter at sea, feeding on fish mother arrives, full of fish, to take over from father just after the chick has hatched like all penguins, mother brings her chick food in a small bag I'm tricking you. Mother hatches the egg really mother brings back food for her chick in her stomach mother can always find her way back to the rookery, even though she doesn't have satellite navigation (GPS) and may have to walk many miles across featureless ice
Correct father hatches the egg father stands in the bitter Antarctic winter for 3 months without eating when the chick hatches, father gives it its first meal although he hasn't eaten for 3 months mother spends winter at sea, feeding on fish mother arrives, full of fish, to take over from father just after the chick has hatched mother brings back food for her chick in her stomach mother can always find her way back to the rookery, even though she doesn't have satellite navigation (GPS) and may have to walk many miles across featureless ice We king penguins have an easy time of it compared to our emperor cousins. All but two of the answers were correct. Surely you didn't think mother penguins brought their fish back in a bag? And yes, it is the father birds who do the egg hatching in the bitter cold. They have a special pouch above their feet where they keep the egg warm after mother has laid it. Then they huddle together with all the other dads, standing through the long polar night with its blizzards and temperatures down to 50 below zero or more. They even manage to regurgitate a meal for their hungry chicks after they've hatched. 'Regurgitate' means like what humans call 'throwing up' or 'being sick' but it's not because the penguins feel ill! It's just our way of carrying and storing food for our babies. Like I said, amazing, don't you think?
19. What does a bombardier beetle do if it is attacked? It sprays boiling hot fluid at its attacker The boiling fluid is made from poisons called quinones that mix explosively with hydrogen peroxide inside the insect. This evil-smelling mix then sprays out with a 'pop', a little like a bombard (an old-fashioned cannon) which is why the insect has this name. It's really a ground beetle which hunts for snails.
