Wolverine

Largest....Sea Otter. They can push 100 lbs. It takes a whopper Wolverine to hit 50. Smallest is the Least Weasel.

No takers on the Griz range question?

I will pick Labrador for the grizzly range question. I don't live in Canada so I am poking a hole in the dark.

Run, you guessed correctly. It has been found, through actual bones and old fur company records, that Barren Ground Grizzly were found in Quebec and Labrador until the early 20th century. For years the experts believed the reports were the result of mis-identification by trappers that were seeing color phase Black Bear......but some skulls turned up, as well as some old fur company sales records that seems to verify the presence of a small population. It is not known when that population disappeared. Some sources say they were there until the 1940's, others say they were gone by 1920.

Could you please give us another quiz? Thanks.

My feeble mind is full of worthless tidbits of information, so it shouldn't be hard to come up with another quiz........

What is the largest freshwater lake completely within the boundary of one state?

Whats the difference between a fish called a "Horned Dace" and a Creek Chub?

What theory explains why Sitka Blacktails, a sub specie of Mule Deer, have ears smaller than most Whitetail deer?

What well known salmonidae was abundant in my area until the turn of the 20th century (Northern Michigan), but is now extirpated here?

Lake Iliamna , Alaska for the first question.

Yep. You going to pursue the other questions?

Give me some time to do some research, thanks for the difficult questions.

A horned Dace and a Creek Chub are the same fish.

male/female maybe

Can you please answer some of the other questions, PCR2?

silver salmon-missing

coldness for smaller ears

i hate those horns on the horned dace,just look creepy

Thanks.

those are just guesses.

Horned Dace is just a common local name for a male Creek Chub in spawning form. (actually good eating too!)

As for the answer to the Sitka Deer question...look up "Bergmann's Rule". It actually does have to do with the cold.

As for the once native gamefish Michigan lost to over exploitation and habitat loss......Arctic Grayling. When my Great Grandfather was born (1872) they were wildly abundant in several Michigan rivers. By the time my mother was born (1917) the fish were likely gone from the Lower Peninsula and found only in the Otter River of the western U.P. By the time my brother was born (1936) they were gone even there.

Someone else post an odd-ball quiz question now.

PCR2 didn't do too bad.

Can't stump you folks for long!

Thanks for the quizzes.
