and I'm very proud to say\n\
I\'m the largest animal walking around\n\
on the earth.";

"We elephants prefer to stick together\n\
in groups.  We travel around grazing for\n\
shrubs abd leaves with our truncks.\n\
I\'ve even seen an elephant or two push\n\
over a whole tree to get to the leaves\n\
at the top.";

uchar elep_answ_text_C[] =
"My trunk I would say is my most unique and\n\
useful feature.  I use it to pick up food,\n\
drink with and give myself a shower.  Try\n\
that with your nose.  On second thought,\n\
you\'d better not.";

born it\'s about three feet tall and\n\

we have to be quick on our feet.";

"Well, besides my great-looking spots,\n\
I\'m well known for the fact that I can\n\
run almost seventy miles an hour for a\n\

other land animal can run.  And without\n\
sneakers.";

and their kids or of young adults.  The\n\
older guys fend for themselves.  We eat\n\

the leaves off with our and long tongue.\n\
They\'re very tasty, if you\'re a giraffe.";

uchar gira_answ_text_C[] =
"It\'s our long necks that make the giraffes\n\
the tallest animals in the world.  But I\'m\n\
so tall that when I drink fom a pond I need \n\
to spead my front legs far apart so my mouth\n\
can reach the water.  Maybe I should just\n\
carry a thermos.";

"For self defense, I can not only kick\n\
very hard but I can also swing my long\n\
neck and head around like a big hammer.\n\

you're not going to eat, do you?";

"Well I am the world\'s largest bird.  I\'m\n\
almost eight feet high.  And I can run more\n\
that 30 miles per hour. I'm big, and fast,\n\
and I have buldging eyes the size of tennis\n\
balls.  You\'re not scared are you?";

uchar ostr_answ_text_D[] =
"Contrary to popular belief, we ostriches \n\
do NOT hide our heads in the sand.  We\n\
never did it, amd we never will.  So\n\
whoever is speading these wild rumors\n\
about us better just cut it out.";

I said HAIRY APE!";

"We gorillas live in small groups of 5 to\n\
10 members.  The boss of each group is\n\

the strongest gorilla in the group and can\n\
usually scare the pants off an intruder.";

"Gorillas have always been famous.  We\'re\n\
the largest of the great apes.  Our \n\
relatives the Mountain Gorillas can \n\

400 pound gorilla sleeps?  Aah, dumb\n\
joke, never mind.";

uchar gori_answ_text_D[] =
"From the way we look you might think we\'re\n\
ferocious meat-eaters but really the \n\
meatiest thing we eat is a bug or an egg.\n\
Plants are what we eat most of the time.\n\
Leaves, bark, bamboo grass; I just love\n\
fibers.";

I enjoy water sports, construction\n\
projects and a belly full of\n\
birchbark.";

uchar beav_answ_text_B[] =
"My family builds it\'s lodge in the\n\
middle of a lake or river. It has a\n\
comfy sleeping room and doorways\n\
that are underwater. Living out\n\
in the lake keeps away predators,\n\
who have a bad habit of trying to eat\n\
us.";

on it when I sit upright, and I\n\
steer with it when I swim. And when\n\

emergency broadcast signal!";

two kinds of Eagles in North America.\n\

snatch a fish dinner out of\n\
the water.";

together. We add to it, fix it\n\
up and live in it year after year.\n\
It can get to be 8 feet across!\n\
We move south for the winter,\n\
but we always come home to\n\
the very same nest.";

uchar bald_answ_text_C[] =
"Back in 1782 I was chosen by\n\
Congress as the emblem of the United\n\
States. That\'s why I get to have\n\

wanted the emblem to be a Turkey.\n\
What was he thinking about?!";

Goat! Some of us weigh almost 300\n\

pads in the middle which act\n\
like suction cups to help me\n\
stay on the rocks.";

the high cliffs. When my kids are\n\
born they stand up on their own\n\
in just a few minutes! Within a\n\
few days, they can follow me\n\
over the steep slopes. ";

uchar goat_answ_text_C[] =
"This sounds a bit weird but\n\
I have four stomachs! There\'s\n\
not a lot of food high up in\n\
the mountains, so all my\n\
stomachs stay extra busy\n\
squeezing all the nutrition\n\
they can out of whatever food\n\
I can find.";

uchar griz_answ_text_A[] =
"I\'m a Grizzly Bear, the largest\n\
bear in North America. I get my\n\
name from my coarse, \"grizzled\"\n\
brown fur. Even though I\'m tough\n\
enough to catch a moose, more\n\
often I just eat veggies.";

"I\'m one heck of a fisherman. The\n\
fish are quick but I\'m just a little\n\
bit quicker. I watch \'em go by and\n\
if my timing is just right-- Pow!\n\
Mmmaaan, I love fresh salmon!";

uchar griz_answ_text_C[] =
"When winter\'s on it\'s way I\n\
eat a lot so I can put on some\n\
fat. Then I crawl inside a cozy\n\
den and take life reeeal slow\n\
for a few months. And when I\'m\n\
that relaxed I don\'t like to\n\
be bothered. Got that?";


// ------------    Moose    ---------------

uchar moos_answ_text_A[] =
"I\'m a Moose; the biggest member of\n\
the deer family. I\'m 10 feet long,\n\
and weigh almost a tò

legs allow me to eat from high\n\
branches. They\'re also good\n\
for kicking obnoxious wolves\n\
in the teeth.";

"I like living near the water.\n\
I don\'t mind dunking my whole head\n\
under the river for a mouth\n\
full of those tender greens that\n\
grow on the bottom. Believe it or\n\
not, I\'m also a pretty good swimmer.";

uchar moos_answ_text_C[] =
"My antlers grow to more than six\n\
feet across. If you see me without\n\
them it\'s because in winter my antlers\n\

to grow a whole new pair.";

Opposum. I\'m about 3 feet long\n\
and 13 pounds. Night is the time\n\
I like to creep around looking for\n\
food. I like fruit but insects\n\
are delicious too. And they\'re\n\
bite size!";

uchar poss_answ_text_B[] =
"Opposums are the only marsupials\n\
in North America. That means I\n\
have a pouch that my babies live\n\
in when they\'re tiny. Once they\'re\n\
finally strong enough I coax\n\
them out into the world.";

I don\'t have time to get away, I lay\n\

out soft and furry, but soon\n\
they\'re as prickly as me!";

over my body. When a predator comes\n\

dumb ones that don\'t run away\n\
get a baaad facefull of trouble.";

"I get around more than you might\n\
think. I can cli<
 60 feet up a\n\
tree to look for food. Also, swimming\n\

Squirrel! I'm only nine inches long\n\

air. I\'m like a fuzzy stunt pilot! My\n\
favorite food is hickory nuts of\n\
which I always keep a hidden supply.";

glider wings. I steer by moving my\n\

The dull part is climbing up again.";

"My babies start making short test\n\
flights when they\'re about a month\n\
old. If they crash land I\'ll fly\n\
down and carry them up the tree for\n\
another try. I teach the little\n\
spuds everything I know about\n\
aviation.";

under the water for 20 minutes.";

"Although I\'m a large fellow\n\
I eat tiny, swimming creatures called\n\

seals the audience would hightail\n\
it out of there.";

I\'ll sit down next to a hole in the ice.\n\

And Voila!  Room service!";

I\'m not bothered by the cold water\n\

him silly, of course.";
