theotishaynes, we share certain tissue antigens, but i am not sure that is the same as "closest relatives"

I would like to see the evidence or criteria. You can cross-breed horses/ponies with both zebras and donkeys, but i doubt that is the case with hippos. There may be a common ancestor 200 million years ago, but that is not "closest relative".

I dipped out on the Donkey One, too. The rest were easy, though nearly got tricked by the Panda one.

A donkey and a rhino, really, that's absurd, it should be pony because it is closely related to a horse and zebra!

theotishaynes, cannibals referred to their food as "long pork". I'm pretty sure we're delicious.

The ostrich is NOT the kiwi's closest relative. It is the Aepyornis or elephant bird.

5/10. That score isn’t too bad! A few surprises regarding the answers.

If humans are the pigs closest relatives, kind of make me apprehensive about eating anymore pork.

Jean Fox, Yup. Some made sense but others were way off.
