How Mova does on its tests: [the lesson at school](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/school-run/biology/298-the-big-biology-quiz-part-1-habitats-and-animals/). - [1](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/school/biology/298-the-big-biology-quiz-part-1-habitats-and-animals/1/) — Part one is about animals and where they live: the biggest cat, the fastest flier, the longest traveller, the animal with three hearts, and why polar bears and penguins never meet. - [2](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/school/biology/298-the-big-biology-quiz-part-1-habitats-and-animals/2/) — Many answers come from one big idea: every animal's body fits its home and its way of life. - [3](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/school/biology/298-the-big-biology-quiz-part-1-habitats-and-animals/3/) — A camel's wide feet fit the sand, an octopus's spare hearts fit life in the sea, and a dormouse's long winter sleep fits a cold season with no food. - [4](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/school/biology/298-the-big-biology-quiz-part-1-habitats-and-animals/4/) — Cartoons often mix up homes, putting a polar bear and a penguin on the same iceberg, so a good quiz player always asks: north or south, land or sea, day or night? - [6](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/school/biology/298-the-big-biology-quiz-part-1-habitats-and-animals/6/) — Polar bears live in the Arctic in the far north, and penguins live mostly in the south, around Antarctica and in southern seas, so they never meet in the wild; the Galapagos penguin lives nearest the equator. - [7](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/school/biology/298-the-big-biology-quiz-part-1-habitats-and-animals/7/) — Whales are mammals, not fish: they breathe air, have warm blood, feed their babies milk and even have a few hairs, while sharks are fish. - [8](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/school/biology/298-the-big-biology-quiz-part-1-habitats-and-animals/8/) — Spiders have eight legs and two body parts, insects have six legs and three body parts; spiders belong to the arachnids, with scorpions and ticks. - [9](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/school/biology/298-the-big-biology-quiz-part-1-habitats-and-animals/9/) — The Arctic tern has the longest migration, flying from the Arctic to the Antarctic and back each year, about 70000 kilometres, following the summer from one end of the Earth to the other, so it sees more daylight than any other animal. - [10](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/school/biology/298-the-big-biology-quiz-part-1-habitats-and-animals/10/) — The peregrine falcon is the fastest animal, diving at over 300 kilometres an hour; on land the cheetah reaches about 100 to 110, and in water the sailfish is among the fastest. - [11](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/school/biology/298-the-big-biology-quiz-part-1-habitats-and-animals/11/) — Camels can go days without water; the hump stores fat, not water, their bodies lose little water, long eyelashes and closable nostrils keep sand out, and wide feet do not sink. - [12](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/school/biology/298-the-big-biology-quiz-part-1-habitats-and-animals/12/) — Herbivores eat plants, carnivores eat meat and omnivores eat both: a cow is a herbivore, a cat a carnivore, and bears and people are omnivores, and teeth show what an animal eats: meat-eaters have sharp cutting teeth, plant-eaters flat grinding ones. - [13](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/school/biology/298-the-big-biology-quiz-part-1-habitats-and-animals/13/) — Camouflage is colours and shapes that help an animal hide, like a polar bear in snow or a leaf insect on a twig; some animals, like wasps, do the opposite and show bright warning colours. - [14](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/school/biology/298-the-big-biology-quiz-part-1-habitats-and-animals/14/) — The octopus has three hearts and blue blood: two hearts pump blood through the gills and one through the body. - [15](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/school/biology/298-the-big-biology-quiz-part-1-habitats-and-animals/15/) — Some animals hibernate through winter when food is scarce, slowing their heart and breathing to save energy; hedgehogs, dormice and many bats hibernate, while bears sleep deeply but less deeply than true hibernators. - [16](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/school/biology/298-the-big-biology-quiz-part-1-habitats-and-animals/16/) — In the rainforest the canopy, the leafy roof of the forest, holds the most animals, because it gets the most sun and fruit; many canopy animals never touch the ground. - ← previous: [The future of life: de-extinction, climate, coral and frozen zoos](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/school/biology/297-the-future-of-life-de-extinction-climate-coral-and-frozen-zoos/) - next →: [The big biology quiz, part 2: plants, the body and microbes](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/school/biology/299-the-big-biology-quiz-part-2-plants-the-body-and-microbes/) - ↑ back to [Biology](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/school/biology/)
