Horse, zebra, deer, moose, eland – which one of these five does not belong in this list … and why.

Don’t forget to answer the poll above this post.

Horse, which is the only domestic animal of the five. (Deer seems to be partially-domesticated, so not sure).

(Please answer the poll – thanks.)

Answering the why kinda spoils it don’t it, you should take the pole first then ask for answers. I too believe that the Horse doesn’t belong because it is the only commonly domesticated animal in the bunch.

I voted moose. The moose cannot be found in Africa.

A

Wow – Mr. Ed leaDs by three lengths and the rest aren’t even out of the blocks!

Will another start to overtake him before he enters the first turn … or will this race be a runaway?

Deer is the only four letter word, all the others are five :astonished:

Hmmm … I like your answer … … but do I like it enough to make it my choice? …

By the way, according to this, a moose is a deer! :astonished: http://www.britannica.com/ebi/article-9273948. I didn’t know that.

I wonder if a moose could live in this forested area of North Africa … or if some have been imported there.

But that’s a good question regarding Mr. Ed – is there any type of horse that’s indigenous to Africa?

MaybE it doesn’t even matter.

But, from the author’s perspective, I don’t know for certain the answer to this quiz, so anyone’s guess is as good as mine.

Elands can have been domesticated.

CutE. :laughing:

Does that mean that “eland” is your answer, or aRe you ruling eland out?

I’m saying that “horse” isn’t odd animal out merely becasue it’s been domesticated. Besides, I know people in Maine with a pet moose. And I suspect one guy of actually dating one.

It’s a particularly attractive moose, for the record.

Moose are solitary. Moose doesn’t belong.

Except for the two I mentioned.

I knew a woman who tried to eat one … she nearly choked to death on an antler.

We suggested she try a different dessert next time.

:unamused:

By the way, what is your answer to the poll (by actually voting in the poll)?

A zebra is the only striped animal. Also the only black and white one.

I don’t know … seems like I’ve herd of moose before.

Black stripes on a white body or
White stripes on a black body :wink:

So you’re the zebra voter!

Good answer …

… Except …

… What about black and white pinto horses? …

… And aren’t the eland’s horns striped? …

But I like the way you think.

The latter … and the differentiation process is a privates matter between zerbras. :wink:

Zebras are members of the equine family. Eland belong to the antelope family. Moose are deer.

Since eland is alone here, I would opt for that, except I have already voted for deer. Can I have two votes?
