    Correct Answer
    B. Tortoise mostly live on land whereas turtles in water!
    Explanation
    The correct answer is that tortoises mostly live on land whereas turtles live in water. This is because tortoises have adapted to live in dry environments, with their sturdy legs and feet designed for walking on land. On the other hand, turtles have evolved to have streamlined bodies and webbed feet for swimming in water. While there are some species of turtles that can spend time on land, they are primarily aquatic creatures. Therefore, the main difference between turtles and tortoises lies in their habitat preferences.

    Correct Answer
    B. Black Mamba
    Explanation
    The Black Mamba is recognized as the fastest snake in the world, capable of moving at speeds up to 12 miles per hour (20 km/h) over short distances. Native to parts of Africa, this snake is also highly venomous and is feared for both its speed and lethal bite. Although it’s fast, it primarily uses its speed to escape threats rather than to chase prey. Other snakes, like the King Cobra and Reticulated Python, are impressive in their own right but do not match the Black Mamba's speed.

    Correct Answer
    C. Reptile
    Explanation
    Snakes are classified as reptiles because they possess characteristics that are common to reptiles. For example, they have scaly skin, lay eggs, and are cold-blooded. Snakes also have a unique way of moving called lateral undulation, which is a characteristic of reptiles. Additionally, snakes have a forked tongue and lack limbs, which are further indications of their reptilian nature. Therefore, snakes are correctly classified as reptiles.

    Tigers do not usually hunt elephants. Tigers are solitary hunters and their prey typically consists of smaller animals such as deer, wild boar, and buffalo.

    Correct Answer
    D. Because they have lungs like mammals do.
    Explanation
    The blue whale is not a fish because it has lungs like mammals do. Unlike fish, which have gills to extract oxygen from water, blue whales breathe air using their lungs. This adaptation makes them more similar to mammals than to fish, as mammals also have lungs for respiration.
