Frequently asked questions
Are there any birds hidden in this animal list?
No. The list sticks to big zoo mammals plus one reptile, the SNAKE, so every word is an animal kids can picture from a zoo visit.
Is this animal puzzle too difficult for early readers?
Most younger kids can easily spot the shorter names like lion and hippo without much frustration.
