Who is this quiz for?

Children aged about 7 to 11 who like animals, and anyone who has finished the three main levels and wants more. It takes about 10 minutes and needs no sign-up. It doesn't change your stripes, so you can try it at any time.

The lesson: six woodland neighbours

1. Red fox

A female fox is a vixen and a male is a dog fox. Its bushy tail is called a brush. Meet the red fox

2. Hedgehog

Unlike badgers, hedgehogs truly hibernate, from about October to April. Leave out shallow water, never milk. Meet the hedgehog

3. Roe deer

A baby roe deer is called a kid, and they're usually born as twins in late spring. Meet the roe deer

4. Red squirrel

Reds are smaller than greys, with russet fur and ear tufts in winter. Meet the red squirrel

5. Rabbit

Rabbits thump the ground with their back feet to warn each other of danger. Meet the rabbit

6. Tawny owl

"Twit-twoo" is really two owls: the female calls "ke-wick" and the male answers "hoo-hooo". Meet the tawny owl
