Daily Animal Quiz: Fun Animal Puzzles Every Day
Test your animal knowledge with three fun quizzes a day. Guess the mystery animal, pick the faster, longer or longer-lived one, and sort sixteen animals into four hidden groups.
How to play the daily animal quiz
Every midnight, in your own time zone, you get three fresh animal quizzes. Everyone plays the same quiz on the same day. Your results and streak stay in your browser, so you never need to sign up.
One mystery animal and six guesses. Each wrong guess unlocks a new clue. Play it here.
Ten pairs of animals. Pick the faster one, the longer one or the one that lives longer.
Sixteen animals hide four groups of four. Find them all before you make four mistakes.
Test your animal knowledge in five minutes
Most animal quizzes ask the same ten questions. I wanted a quiz that changes every day and teaches something new each time. Each round takes about five minutes, so it fits into a coffee break or the start of a class.
The quiz suits kids, families and wildlife fans alike. Younger players can team up with an adult on Animal Connections. Older players can chase a perfect ten in Higher or Lower.
Where the quiz answers come from
I built Higher or Lower on the data behind my other tools. Speeds come from the animal speed race. Lengths come from the animal size comparison and the shark and whale size tools. Lifespans come from the animal lifespan timeline.
Animal records are messy. Some speeds are estimates, and the oldest known animals often rest on one famous record. I only pair animals with a clear gap between them, so a guess never hangs on a rounding error. Tap the link after each answer to read the full story.
Animal Connections
Each group has one clear link, like flightless birds, blue blood or animals found only in Madagascar. Watch for red herrings. A koala looks like a bear, but it is a marsupial. After you finish, every group shows a one-line explanation.
