Guess who at the zoo

I’ve got another Guess Who for you this week (find my previous Guess Who here). This time all the animals are found here at Wingham to give it a zookeeper week theme.

All the answers can be found at the bottom for you.

1:
• I come in lots of colours
• I love to make a lot of noise and mess (cardboard boxes are fun)
• Sometimes I can even talk to you
• Some of us live in a mixed enclosure

2:
• I live with my family
• I love insects, especially meal worms
• In the wild I take on scorpions and snakes, I’m even immune to their venom
• To keep safe we take it in turns to look out for danger, you will recognise the lookout as they will be up high and might even be looking up to the sky
• I love to dig, in the wild I will have multiple burrows so I can move my family around

3:
• I move around by swinging
• I can hold my own body weight on one arm for at least an hour
• I communicate through singing, we sing together to mark territory
• I am often called a monkey but I am in fact an ape (lesser ape)
• I can live 30-35 years in the wild and up to 50 in captivity

4.
• I have a frightening appearance, which is common for members of the arachnid family
• I ward off threats through spraying which I can do up to 19 times before I run out. The spray
smells bad
• I can have between 30 and 40 offspring
• I am solitary
• I can live for seven years or more
• I am sometimes called grampus

5:
• I am very good at climbing I can even climb upside down thanks to my very flexible ankles.
When I run down tree trunks in
• I am the smallest member of the big cat family
• I have the biggest canines for body size of any cat and I can open my mouth further than any
other as well. So I’m like a little saber tooth tiger.
• My super long tail helps me balance as I walk along branches
• I am most active at night so I won’t be doing a lot when you visit in the day

6:
• I am typically most active during the day
• I am an omnivore although some of us don’t have meat in our diet
• I am habituated to a range of different habitats and weathers
• I am very good at problem solving
• I come in a variety of shapes and sizes
• I can communicate well with other animals
