Animal Trivia

[Trinity]

Okay, so ive finally gotten around to doing some animal trivia. It will run in rounds, like most trivia. There will be 15 questions per round, and the winner will get a prize. You may use google if needed, it gives everyone a chance to get it right.

Round 1: Cats


What breed is this?
bonus: Where do they originate?
bonus bonus: what was the name of the first acknowledged cat of this breed?




Points:
Fire Opal- 4
sandtiger- 4

im gonna say, Bengal? if not Eygyptian Mau due to the long legs.

[Trinity]

Nope. Neither is right. I'm gonna change the rules, You can look up answers you dont know on google. So, everyone has a chance.

[Fire Opal]

Hm... Savannah?

*EDIT* Actually, I'm thinking it's an Ashera.

[Sipphy]

I'm guessing either Safari Cat, which is a hybrid of domestic cats and Geoffroy's Cat; or California Spangled Cat.

[Trinity]

Fire got it! It's an Ashera! Any guesses for the bonus questions?

[Vitani]

I believe Ashera's ( or Savannahs, I've heard them called both) are a mix of domestic cat and serval....G1's being half and half, G2's being 3/4 -1/4 etc...

I think by G5, they are considered 'pure' Ashera/Savannah rather than a hybrid?


I could be talking out my elbow, I didn't look it up online lol, just rambling on from memory

And...Somewhere around $20,000 I think?

[wolfgirl159357]

the most i have seen a Savannah go for around here is 3000

[Trinity]

Tani is very close on both bonuses!

[Fire Opal]

Bonus: The Ashera is an alleged domestic/wild hybrid cat, a hybrid between the African serval, the Asian leopard cat, and a domestic housecat.
Bonus bonus: Costs about $22,000 US, with "hypoallergenic" versions at $37,000. Rare markings sell for up to $125,000

[Trinity]

Fire got it!

[sandtiger]

Is that a Devon Rex? And if so, I think the answer for the bonus question is: Kirlee

[Trinity]

you got it!

[wolfgirl159357]

Hmmm not a Russian blue, not a korat, maybe a Chartruex

[Trinity]

nope. Not any of those.
