@ Pilane, that was a joke. And yes we do google for the answers, but at the same time learn about the topic by reading up on google. It is a form of education !
Now I'm off to google a hard question for this quiz :twisted:

The tragus is a peice of flesh in the bats ear. Fruit bats do not have a tragus but insect eating bats do. You can sometimes tell a species of bat apart by looking at the shape of the tragus.


Whats a Antitragus? :huh:
