Trivia

[josebach]

Ok, I know some of these now. My kid just got this book of all these trivia type questions and fun activities and, wouldn't you know it, groups of animals and what they're called were in it.

31. Owls
32. Monkeys
33. Rhinos
34. Ravens

Still don't know sleuth though.

Correct on all accounts.

[josebach]

I have some guesses (I'm coming late to the party, sorry!)

3. Chimpanzees and Apes
4. Pretty sure this is a flock.
8. Bear? The whole hibernation thing?
10. losers
16. Paw Prints
17. Flying Squirrel
18. pretty sure this is butterfly
19. Horse?
21. Blue Whale?
22. Squid or Giant Squid
23. Sharks
24. Any group of 20 Arkansans
25. Beavers
26. Seahorse
27. Zebra
28. Hummingbirds


I have no clue on the others. I would need hints. Hints?

17, 18 and 26 are right. (17 + 18 were already answered). I'll update 26 with the answer and come up with some good hints.
