I thought so

I disagreed on the first one. I know there are 3 species of deer. Mule, Whitetail, and Blacktail.

Much like the GB auction search, either I have fat fingers or the page is not tablet friendly. Since the first answer was "hinky" and the 2nd question could be answered by a 5 yr. old, I suspect the quiz was written by someone who fancies themself an "expert".
I gave up after 2.

Mr. Perfect

Blacktail are considered a subspecies of mule deer. And coues deer are a subspecies of white tail.

I guess, I've read where some biologist think the Mule deer is actually a cross between black tail and white tail that managed to breed itself into it's own line while it thrived in the other species border regions.

I was thinking of the principle that all ungulates with antlers are deer, so the species tally should include elk, moose, and caribou as well as the two dainty species. For that reason I guessed six, thinking that whoever made up the test might be a splitter who considered mulies and blacktails as separate species, resulting in a total of six.

Turns out the guy was a lumper, not a splitter, but inconsistently so. A real lumper would have included all antlered animals as deer.

Just goes to show how hard it is to write a multiple choice test that actually reveals what students know, not just how good they are at guessing what the tester is looking for.

discusdad

take the "ultimate deer test" and see so many of the same questions have different answers. the 2nd quiz says there are 75 types of deer, including a rabbit sized deer found in Chile

Alpine

The question was "North American" species.

But actually Moose, elk, and caribou can be added also.
