Nature and animals trivia questions
No year is attached to any of the 16 questions in Nature and animals, a History branch that the picker calls “The living world”. They ask about things as they are, not about when something happened.
Nature and animals: how the questions fall by date
There is no timeline here because the questions are about things that are true whenever you ask. What you know decides it, and the short fact after each answer fills in the story.
What a Nature and animals card looks like
Four choices, one answer. The first words of the questions break down as follows: 7 start with “Which”, 5 start with “What”, 2 start with “How”. Each answer is followed by a fact of up to 22 words. In 2 cases the answer is just one word.
A source article stands behind each one; nothing goes in unchecked.
