Lisa Regan - Animal Riddles

What single letter can you swap to make a cold bear become hot? You really couldn't carry
The thing that's on my back,
Yours is much too heavy,
But mine will easily crack.
I don't carry any money,
Or have your love of wealth,
But I leave silver when I travel,
Moving with such silent stealth. What goes naked to keep you warm? What sort of socks do polar bears wear? A polar bear walks 5 km (3 miles) north and then 3 km (2 miles) south. He ends up 8 km (5 miles) from his starting point. How can that be? Why do seagulls live by the sea? I'm alive without breath
Yet cold as death. I don't feel thirst but am in the drink. What do giraffes have that no other animal has, which keeps them from going extinct? What is as tall as a giraffe, has a long neck like a giraffe, and four long legs like a giraffe, but doesn't weigh anything at all? Why don't lions eat stand-up comedians? What type of animal works for the CIA? I hiss like a frying pan and am made with an egg; I can move around, though I have no legs.

My skin peels off, but I stay the same. I'm long and strong do you know my name? The more you take, the more you leave behind. What are they? Tom has two pet mice, and the number of mice he has doubles every week. In ten weeks, he'll have 1,024 mice. How many weeks before he has over 500 mice? Don't think too hard! There are 25 mice in a school classroom during a class. The mice are moving around, but nobody is looking at them.

Why is that? What kind of pet always lives on the floor? What did the mouse say when another mouse broke a tooth? Why are leopards no good at hiding? Mystery Word EACH LINE OF THIS PUZZLE IS A CLUE TO A LETTER. CAN YOU DISCOVER THE HIDDEN WORD? My first is in wild, and bellow, and water. My second's in woman and also in daughter. My third is the very beginning of rough. My fourth is in bristles in tusks and in tough. My fifth is in hairy and cough but not snout.

You're well on your way to working this out! My sixth appears twice in the roots that I munch. My last is in pig, who's one of my bunch. What am I? A frog sits on a lily pad in the middle of a circular pond. He is 12 m (40 ft) from the edge. His first jump takes him to a lily pad 6 m (20 ft) away. After his first jump, he always jumps half the distance of his previous jump.

How many jumps must he make to reach dry land? I have a bushy tail but do not sweep,
I stay awake while you're asleep.
Just like a wolf, my fur is brown.
I'm totally wild but live in town.
What am I? How do you describe an exhausted frog? Joe is taking his dog for a walk. It doesn't walk in front of him, or behind him, or to one side of him. He isn't carrying it, and of course, it isn't above him or below him. Where is his dog? What do you call a lionfish with no eyes? This case has no hinges,
No key, no lid,
But golden treasure
Inside is hid. A cowboy rides into town on Friday, stays for two days, and leaves on Friday. How can that be? I am a seven-letter word, but if you take away four letters, only one is left.

I'm a real beast you might even say I'm the queen! Who am I? What does a buffalo say to her son when he leaves for school? A man must cross a river in his rowboat, taking with him a snake, his pet rat, and a sack of grain. The boat is only big enough to carry the man and one item at a time. He can't leave the snake and the rat together, and he can't leave the rat and the grain together. How does he get everything safely across the river? What animal can jump higher than an elephant? What kind of dog has no tail? How do you get down from a donkey? What creature walks on four legs in the morning, two legs at noon, and three legs in the evening? What animal wears more in the summer than it does in the winter? A monkey is tied to the end of a piece of string 1 m (3 ft) long. How did it manage to eat some figs from a bowl 3 m (9 ft) away? A man climbs a ladder and sees an enormous snake. He continues to climb, not scared at all.

How can this be? When is a rook not a bird?
