About Pets & Domestic Animals

How well do you know the animals that people keep? This quiz is all about pets and farm animals: the breeds of dogs, cats and horses; the animals raised for milk, wool, eggs and honey; the names we give their babies and their groups; how they behave and how to look after them; and the many jobs some of them do for us.

Each question asks something directly, such as 'which is the fastest breed of dog?', and then gives a few clear facts before you choose from four names. The topics are the ones people most often look up: the tallest and the smallest dog breeds, the largest breed of cat, the gentle giants among horses, why a cat purrs, which animal gives us wool, and what a baby sheep is called.

The questions are grouped by theme, so you might get a run of dog breeds, then cat breeds, then farm animals, then baby and group names, then care facts, then working animals. Some answers clear up common mix-ups too, such as whether a rabbit is a rodent, or whether the Great Dane really comes from Denmark.

Every answer comes with a short explanation and a photograph of the animal or breed, all freely licensed images from Wikimedia Commons. The wording is kept simple, and any harder word is explained. Every fact has been checked.
