Answers

1. Chinchilla – Give yourself a full point if you guessed this correctly. These animals are often kept as house pets, but additionally they are used for fur. They are slightly smaller than a small house cat, and are fairly easy to care for, but for some people the trick is being able to find pet supplies for them. Also they may be illegal to keep in some areas.
2. Tokay Gecko – Give yourself a full point if you said Tokay Gecko, half a point for Gecko. They are a tough little gecko with a strong bite, in fact they have been known to bite and hold on for a long time, even hours. If you should ever find yourself bitten by one of these little guys the best way to get it off you is by plunging your hand into luke warm water. Their feet are well adapted to climbing leaves, which as pets, means they can climb on glass.
3. Cat with extra toes – Ah ha, if you said “Cat” you get only half a point, if you noticed the cat had extra toes, you can take the full point. These cats are called polydactyl, and are often considered as being lucky.
4. Siberian Tiger – Half a point if you said “Tiger”, because it was pretty easy, full point if you said “Siberian Tiger”. The Siberian Tiger tends to have fewer stripes, and fewer markings on their front limbs. The stripes might even appear to be brown rather than black. Although some people think tigers make good pets, it is not really fair to the tiger to be kept as one, and ultimately hurts owners of other exotic animals when a person cannot care for their tiger properly and the public attacks ownership of all exotics as a result.
5. Alligator – No points if you said Crocodile, one point if you said Alligator. Alligators have wider and shorter heads than crocodiles. Although some people find them cute as babies and purchase them as pets, if the lucky animal survives it eventually grows into a huge problem. Some owners then illegally release them into the wild. I would not even consider suggesting anyone get one as a “pet”, while they might be fine in zoos, these are definitely not “pets”.
6. Turkey – This bird is often used for food, but in this case, it is used for points, give yourself one if you said “Turkey”. It might surprise to you know that these birds are not named after the country, Turkey. Rather the country is named after the birds. Domestic turkeys cannot fly. Wild birds have limited flight but it is still enough to help them escape from preditors.
7. Lemur – These little primates are from Madagascar, it was a bit tricky so give yourself a point if you got it right. Many species of lemurs are extinct thanks to deforestation of their home land, which is Madagascar.
8. Blue footed Booby – Get a point if you got the full name correct. These birds are thought of as being a bit on the dopey side. In fact they have little fear of humans so were easily caught and eaten by fishermen. They have foot fetishes themselves, as part of their mating ritual involves the male displaying and stomping his lovely blue feet to impress the female.
9. Bound human foot – Yup, those bones are human, get one point if you said “human” get a bonus half point if you said “bound foot”. This was a practice that occurred in China. It is believed that at the time a smaller foot on the woman was considered more desirable so parents took to binding the feet of their daughters. This involved the breaking of toes and caused great pain, and even had the risk of death because of infection during the process. Foot binding resulted in a permanent, and often painful, deformity.
10. Camel – This was an easy one, it is of course a Camels foot. There had to be some easy ones, I don’t want to make anyone cry over a little game. Camels have two toes on their large feet, which are specially adapted to walking on hot shifting sand.

Add up your points and let us see how you did.

Zero – Four points. You’re really not a very observant person, maybe you have your head in the clouds a bit too much, and are blissfully unaware of what lies beneath. You wouldn’t know a foot if it kicked you in the face, be careful here or you won’t have a foot to stand on. Your favorite place is your house.

Four and a half – Seven. You are normal. Nothing special about you, you know some feet, you don’t know some feet. You know about some critters, but not too many. Your favorite place is the mall.

Seven and a half – Nine. You spend a lot of your time walking with your head down, this is great, you find lots of money that way! You also get to know many kinds of feet. You talk to animals and they talk back. Your favorite place is the zoo.

Nine and half or more. You have a classic foot fetish. Get help now, or don’t. It really doesn’t matter to me. Just make sure those feet are clean. Your favorite place is illegal.
