Animal Riddles

A blackbird similar to, but much bigger than a crow

A close relative of ketchup that people often spread on their dog.

A colourful bird that talks

A dark­-colored creature serenaded by Lennon and McCartney.

A horrid monster hides from the day, with many legs and many eyes. With silver chains it catches prey. And eats it all before it dies. Yet in every cottage does it stay. And every castle beneath the sky.

A house has 4 walls. All of the walls are facing south, and a bear is circling the house. What color is the bear?

A huge mythical animal said to resemble a whale.

A king without a crown

A man walks out of a house that has four walls all facing north. A bird walks past him. What is it?

A mysterious, fantastic creature, It has one defining feature, And for humans at their worst, In their eyes it’s just a horse

A nutcracker up in a tree

A pony trots his way through the world on these.

A prickly house a little host contains; The pointed weapons keep back from pains, So he, unarmed, safe in his fort remains.

A spent round or a slimy critter.
