Hi Deb, I knew no. 2, 4, 5, 7, and 10. I thought I knew no. 9, but I thought it was 44. I think it depends on what they include as it s a bit murky where Europe starts and ends sometimes. No. 6 was a tough one, I had never even heard of that! No. 4, I always wonder if a mosquito is an "animal" but it is always my answer to that question (unless they say mammal, then its the hippo I believe). Great questions today, thank you so much!
DeleteI got 13 today. Possibly my best ever! X
