[Tetzoo Quizzer]

[Dassie rat]

Sorry, Tetzoo Quizzer

 

[Tetzoo Quizzer]

Ho hum! More phyla coming tomorrow!

 

[Tetzoo Quizzer]

Cancel that! It’s Gastrotrichs!

 

[Dassie rat]

Sorry, Tetzoo Quizzer

I hope you sleep well. It will make a change counting animal phyla rather than sheep

 

[Tetzoo Quizzer]

Please read the account of Gastrotrich anatomy in Wikipedia, and explain why this Phylum is not an acceptable answer, even if not the one expected.

 

[Dassie rat]

Thanks, Tetzoo Quizzer. You're right. I only read the first paragraph of the Wikipedia article.

I'm sorry about that. I was suffering from false memory syndrome. I originally chose Gastrotricha from List of animal phyla - Simple English Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.

It's your turn to set the first question on Artiodactyla

 

[Tetzoo Quizzer]

What answer were you expecting? Anyway, to Artiodactyla; which Artiodactyl was originally named as a member of the genus Equus?

Sclater originally named the okapi Equus johnstoni

 

[Tetzoo Quizzer]

He did; Tim, your turn.

For some reason, I got Gastrotricha muddled up with Kinorhyncha over a few hours. Sorry again

 

[Tim May]

He did; Tim, your turn.

This artiodactyl has seldom been kept in European zoos; the first living individual in the UK arrived in 1841. What species and where was it kept?
