The following questions are from the “Microsoft Rewards Bing Homepage Quiz” for 10-20-2024. Let us know in the comments if you find the wrong answer to any question!!!

Question 1: Say hello to the world’s slowest mammal! What is it?

  • Sloth
  • Manatee
  • Koala

Correct Answer: Sloth

Fact: Sloths spend most of their lives hanging upside down in the tropical rainforests of South and Central America. They have low-calorie leafy diets and a slow digestive system, so they conserve energy by spending much of their time asleep and move very slowly when awake. Their vision and hearing aren’t very sharp, so they primarily depend on their senses of smell and touch.


Question 2: How do sloths typically communicate with each other?

  • Body language
  • Vocalizations
  • Vibrations

Correct Answer: Vocalizations

Fact: Even though sloths aren’t known for being particularly active, they do have ways of interacting with each other. Sloths rely on two methods of communication: vocalizations and scent markings. One of their most unique sounds is the ‘scream,’ a high-pitched cry that can be heard from a distance. This scream is believed to serve as a warning of danger or a call for help. Sloths also use scent marking to communicate. They have scent glands on their necks, which they use to mark their territory.


Question 3: What is the smallest species of sloth?

  • Pale-throated sloth
  • Pygmy three-toed sloth
  • Linnaeus’s two-toed sloth

Correct Answer: Pygmy three-toed sloth

Fact: The pygmy three-toed sloth is found only in the red mangroves of Isla Escudo de Veraguas, a small Caribbean island that belongs to Panama. Their body length is about 20 inches, and they can weigh as little as 5.5 pounds.
