What festive creature are you?

What festive creature are you?

How would you rather spend the holidays?

Personally, I'd like a quite one with my cat.

What animal is this?

In North America, reindeer are also called caribou.

True or false: No two snowflakes are identical

In 1988 Nancy Knight (USA), a scientist at the National Center for Atmosphere Research in Boulder, Colorado, USA, found two identical examples while studying snow crystals from a storm in Wisconsin, using a microscope.

What's your festive beverage of choice?

I wouldn't say no to a butterbeer either!

Which of these is true about the polar bear?

Seals make up most of a polar bear's diet and they spend most of their time at sea!

What's true about the snow leopard?

They're both true! Snow leopards are solitary animals, it is rare to see two snow leopards together. Therefore, there is no term for a group of snow leopards. Unlike other large cats, snow leopards cannot roar. They can mew, growl, and yowl.

What will you be doing when the clock strikes 12 on New Year's Eve?

Good choice ;)

True or false: Christmas in July is a thing

Because the Southern Hemisphere celebrates a rather warm festive season, some countries have taken to celebrating ‘Christmas in July’ to get the traditional feel of a chilly holiday!

What excites you most about the holidays?

Personally, nothing is more exciting than the prospect of uninterrupted sleep!

Tell us a little bit about yourself, answer some holiday-themed questions, and let us tell you what festive creature you're most like! 

Some of our favourite festive animals include:

1. The reindeer

Of course, there can be no list of festive animals without featuring reindeer. Did you know that both male and female reindeer have antlers and that they shed their antlers every year to grow a new set? How cool is that?!

2. The goat

The Yule Goat is a Scandinavian and Northern European Yule and Christmas symbol and tradition. Did you know that goats have rectangular pupils? They can see 320 to 340 degrees in their periphery—everything except for what’s directly behind them!

3. The narwhal

Okay, we're not completely certain any body else considers narwhals festive at all but we do! Narwhals are also know as 'unicorns of the sea' because of their tusks (which can grow up to 10 feet in length, and we have no idea what they're for!), and they're only found in the frigid arctic. Here's our favourite narwhal fact - there are no narwhals in captivity!

4. The kangaroo

Our friends down under spend a rather warm festive season and according to the Australian Christmas song ‘Six White Boomers’, it’s kangaroos who pull Santa’s sleigh rather than reindeer. Did you know that kangaroos cannot move backwards?

5. The polar bear 

No surprises here with another snowy favourite! But did you know that beneath all that thick fur, their skin is actually jet black?
