Post your answers by commentingÌýbelow.
Update 9 June: Answers are now at the bottom of the quiz. No cheating!
This week's theme is Who am I?
- I am the largest British shrew with red tipped teeth and often have white tufts of hair on my ears. Am I a common shrew, a bank shrew or a water shrew?
- Who am I?
- My scientific name is Neovison vison and I was introduced to the UK in 1958 for my fur. Am I a mink, a rabbit or a fox?
- I am the most common bird of prey in Europe and have a habit of hovering near motorways making me the easiest to spot too! Am I a kestrel, a red kite or a sparrowhawk?
- Who am I?
Ìý - I am the smallest British carnivore and weigh as little as 50g. I have to eat every 24 hours to avoid starvation. Am I a weasel, a polecat or a kestrel?
- I'm the biggest bird of prey in the UK. I disappeared in 1916 but was reintroduced since. You can only find me in the far north of the British Isles. Who am I?
- Who am I?Ìý
