The key (for the host: fold this page back)
- C: a stinky liquid. Before it sprays, a skunk stomps its feet and lifts its tail as a warning.
- C: three. Two of its hearts pump blood to the gills, and one pumps it to the rest of the body.
- B: pollen. When pollen moves between flowers, the plant can make seeds.
- A: the food it eats. Flamingo chicks hatch with white fluffy feathers and take years to turn pink.
- C: the blue whale. Blue whales eat mostly krill, tiny animals they strain out of the water.
- B: water. All that stored water can make a big saguaro weigh more than 6 tons.
- A: a hen. Hens do not crow, but they cluck to talk to their chicks.
- A: on tiny tube feet. A sea star is not a fish at all: it has no gills, scales or fins.
- A: fungi. Mold and yeast are fungi too.
- A: 🪶 A feather. A riddle: every clue fits only one of the three.
