	My Latin minor really let me down on this - should have studied more!

	I'll tell you what Asinine is...my performance on this quiz.

	Astrology helped me. Good quiz.

	I've used the word "asinine" hundreds of times and never knew the etymology of the word. Thank you, Sporcle, for expanding my horizons yet again.

	Some of them make perfect sense - when you see the answers but not having studied the classics I struggled with many of the others...

	I was going through them, only trying the ones I knew for certain were right (about half?), and then I came to whale. I really don't know how I knew, but somehow I was sure that Cetacean was right. And it was. Sporcle is strange and wonderful.

	A combination of astrology, common knowledge & Pokemon helped me on this quiz...

	Batrachian - a misspent youth reading HP Lovecraft finally paid off! ;-)

	My husband must think I'm quite strange after I hit myself in the head and said, "Duh! Vermicelli!!".

	Astronomy: Still more useful than astrology.

	@Cerekk: I agree completely. Astrological signs only work for caprine (Capricornus, goat), piscine (Pisces, fish), leonine (Leo, lion) and taurine (Taurus, bull). With astronomical constellations you can get, besides the mentioned ones: lupine (Lupus, wolf), vulpine (Vulpecula, little fox), equine (Equuleus, little horse), serpentine (Serpens, snake), leporine (Lepus, hare), cetacean (Cetus, whale), canine (Canis major, Canis minor and Canes Venatici, dogs), cygnine (Cygnus, swan) and ursine (Ursa major and Ursa minor, bears). Nothing strange, since you have 88 astronomical constellations but only 12 astrological signs (that are also constellations).

	Crustacean refers to a very large group that includes lobsters, shrimp, barnacles, and all sorts of other things beyond crabs. A better term would be brachyuran.

	Man, that was a bear of a quiz...

	Mass Effect Salarians have been definitely influenced by Saurian

	Thank you Harry Potter, too

	I do not understand how a Bull is not "bovine" as it is simply a male cow which is "bovine".

	chrisgunter:	Sep 30th, 2012 at 03:46 GMT		5 points
	So the word that begins with "bat" isn't the descriptor for a bat. That's just wrong.

	So... things having to do with sea-horses aren't aqua-equine? Bummer.

	playing pokemon as a kid really helped me A LOT !

	Clever idea for a quiz, and a nice mix of animals and adjectives. Though I'm convinced the adjectives for "bat" and "toad" must have gotten switched sometime in the past few centuries...
