About This Quiz

The animal kingdom is composed of millions of eukaryotic and prokaryotic organisms which come from many different species and habitats all across the world. From the ant which is smaller than a centimeter to the majestic blue whale which weighs almost 300, 000 pounds, they all play an important role in maintaining the ecosystem. Some animals have even evolved from a common ancestor, and although they look different and live in different habitats, they are distant relatives. 

Animals can be grouped in many different ways, from the class of animals to their feeding habits, to the place that they are found in and whether they are endangered or extinct.
