African Animals Quiz

For the gooey amongst you, you may like to know that baby elephants suck their trunks just like human infants suck their thumbs which is probably good practise for adulthood as, when the weather gets too hot and they can't cool off, an elephant can push its trunk down its throat to suck up digested water to pull out and spray over their body. Other African animals quiz questions might have included that there is a frog in Cameroon which measures a foot long and, unsurprisingly, is called the 'Goliath Frog', but they don't even though your knowledge of African animals has probably just increased somewhat. Okay, time for the real African animals quiz (answers will be given at the end) and then maybe take our online African animals video quiz above. Good luck!
