The
afternoon featured a Mousy Mindboggler Meet by the AllEarsNet.com team.
One of the most popular items in the ALL EARS® weekly newsletter
is the Mousy Mindboggler riddles.
Debra Martin Koma organized an Animal Kingdom hunt using Mousy Mindboggler
Riddles as clues!

Each
team was given a Mousy Mindboggler Booklet, with four riddles that needed
to be solved by going to the following areas of Animal Kingdom: the
Oasis, Maharajah Jungle Trek, Pangani Forest Exploration Trail, and
Discovery Island Trails.

Participants
had to not only solve the riddles, but go to the area of the park where
the answer could be found and obtain a sticker from a Mousy Mindbogglerette!
And they did this in between several Florida rain storms.

Here
are just two of the riddles folks had to solve. For a complete listing
of the riddles, click HERE!

We're multicolored, but not bright
We blend in well instead
And yet you'd think we're show-offs
When you glimpse what's on our head

A grooming implement gives us fame
But we don't use it for that
It makes us look nice to our mates
It's better than a hat!

Answer:
African Comb Duck

People think I look
Like I'm always having fun
I love to swim and play all day
And frolic in the sun.

I
like to dine on fishes
But visit and you'll see
The ones I share my home with
Are much bigger than me!

You
may hear a happy little Chirp
as you pass by.
You might think that it's a bird
But you "ought to" know it's only I.

What
am I and where do you find me?

Answer:
Asian Small-Clawed Otter
