I’m no expert but that “alpaca” still looked an awful lot like what I understood to be a llama. Clearly I need to watch Emperor’s New Groove another 300 times.

The elephant's trunk appears too short and is easily mistaken for tapir. A kangaroo and wallaby are shaped alike with one just smaller, same with a llama and an alpaca

Yeah, the elephant/tapir was deliberately misleading. And the fox/wolf - please, like *I* don't know my canids? But how are we supposed to tell from something that isn't actually a "silhouette" at all, but a pixelated floodfill of the animal's shape? The one that was a "silhouette" of a French bulldog was also INCREDIBLY (and intentionally) misleading - its paws look like shoulders, and the ears are rounded and far more catlike. Plus the "silhouette" included its collar D-ring, not that you can tell what that might be when it's just a pixelated shape. Again, intentionally misleading - or at least excruciatingly poorly-chosen images.

They kinda do and kinda don't, though. A fox's ears are objectively bigger in regards to their body size. Most wolf subspecies live where it gets cold, so they have (relatively) small, rounded-tipped ears compared to a coyote or most fox species. Again, if you literally measured a red fox's ears and a gray wolf's ears, the gray wolf's might be literally longer/wider, but compared to their skull sizes, a red fox's ears "look" larger (because their skulls are more delicately-boned and their snouts are much more narrow/pointed.)

A lot of these were poorly designed. With the rough silhouette it's hard to get the correct one- especially considering a lot of the pictures are from angles where it's virtually impossible to identify. The panda??? We don't see enough of its actual silhouette due to the angle PLUS it's a pixelated image- blurring the finer details. And the ostrich and emu, again with it blurred and the angle you arent given enough to go on. Dont even get started on the elephant that deliberately had its features hidden so you can't see it properly.

This is just invalid and unreliable test design. The elephant image is misleading.. The trunk is curled to make it look more taper-ish. I stopped taking the quiz then because many of the quizzes on this site have edited questions designed to throw off the test takers.
