Costumes, parties, candies, and 'I scream' are all around the corner! How many of these nature-based spooktacular questions can you get right? Begin ## Which vegetable was originally used to make jack-o'-lanterns? Turnips Peppers Eggplant Jack-o'-lanterns originated in Ireland and Scotland and were made out of turnips and other root vegetables. In other news, what do get when you drop a pumpkin? Squash! Next ## Why is halloween scary for the planet? Pumpkin waste Plastic waste They're both correct. Halloween costumes will generate an estimated 83 million bottles worth of plastic and an estimated 8 million pumpkins are likely to be binned in the UK alone.. Earth's horror-scope looks bad! Next ## Who does this pattern belong to? Snake Butterfly Frog This 'spectacle' marked back belongs to an Indian Cobra. Next ## Spiders are known to have 8 legs, but what else can they have 8 of? Mouths Eyes Stings Most, but not all, spiders also have 8 eyes on their heads! Their mums say spending so much time on the web will ruin their eyesight! Next ## Is this the eye of the tiger? Yup! Nope! This is a close-up of the rock-eagle owl taken in India. Hope you have a hoot this Halloween! Next ## Why are bats so cool? They're the only mammals that can fly They hang around upside down If not for bats, we wouldn't have Batman All of the above They're all true! They can also find their food in total darkness, echolocate, and eat up to 1200 mosquitoes an hour! Next ## Black cats are common Halloween icons. What's true about the black panther? They're a separate species They are excellent swimmers They live solely in Wakanda Despite their colour variation, black panthers are actually just melanistic jaguars or leopards, meaning their coats are made of darker fur. However, this doesn't make them a separate species. Their body structure makes them excellent swimmers.
