Nature trivia questions
Nature trivia questions about animals, birds, fish, trees, flowers, dinosaurs and habitats, sorted by how rare your answer is.
Nature prompts cover the living world: mammals, birds, insects, sharks, dog and cat breeds, trees, flowers, mushrooms, dinosaurs and the habitats they live in. The tip of the iceberg is full of lions, eagles and roses. The deep end is where the axolotl, the shoebill and the corpse flower live.
Common names and scientific names both work where they are well known, and plurals count the same as singulars.
