Animal trivia questions and games
Animal questions are the friendliest in trivia. Children know them, grandparents know them, and a picture of an unusual creature on the TV gets a reaction from every table.
They also hide real difficulty when you want it: collective nouns, record-holders, lifespans and what lives where are the kind of facts people are sure about and often wrong.

For hosts
Asking animal trivia in a room
- Picture rounds are the whole point: a close-up, a baby animal, a footprint.
- Collective nouns make a wonderful multiple-choice question.
- For a family night, put the animal round early so children can shine before bedtime.
- Closest-number estimates — lifespans, speeds, weights — give a fair tie-break.
