Animal Magic

All about animals today but are the following statements true or false?

One

Is it true or false that in 1910, the US Congress debated importing hippopotami as a solution to a national meat crisis?

Two

Kopi luwak, the most expensive coffee in the world, is made by feeding coffee beans to small mammals called lemurs. These lemurs then excrete the undigested beans, which are collected and processed to make the coffee.

Three

Is it true or false that the US Army used camels in the American West during the mid-19th century?

Four

African dung beetles can navigate and orient themselves using only the stars in the Milky Way. Is this true or false?

Five

Is it true or false that sea otters gather and socialise in groups called rafts?

Good luck! I will post the answers later today.

As a retired trivia writer, editor and quiz compiler, I wholeheartedly agree with Bertrand Russell’s quote: “There’s much pleasure to be gained in useless knowledge.” Trivia of all sorts has always fascinated me, and for many years, I’ve written and compiled trivia for various media, including traditional TV and radio quiz shows, newspapers and magazines, apps, and other digital platforms.
