	Suggestions welcome! This is my first quiz, so feedback would be great.

	The Arabian Oryx is often classifed as one of orgins of the unicorn myth (from the side it looks like it has one horn)the Rhinoceros too. You might want to list them as possible answers. I'm not sure if you should have this under the history category it might be better under science but thats your choice. Also congrats on a very good first quiz!

	@Extinctanimals22: Thank you! Well, the unicorn question was only counting the horn itself, but I can change it so that it just says unicorn and accepts all three of those. The reason I placed it under history is because this is based on historical sightings and misinterpretations, but I did consider putting it under science. If I could, I'd place it under both.

	For Sea Monster, badly decayed basking sharks have often been confused for supposed sea monsters (but no bones, so it would need a new section, not go under Sea Monster (skeleton)).

	@carbon_rod: You're right. Perhaps I shall put two different questions for Sea Monster and Unicorn. I'll do that and see how it turns out.

	To whomever rated this a 1: Please explain why! This is my first quiz! I can't make it better if I don't know the problem.

	Should I take banshee off? I put it on there because I've heard people say it sounds like a banshee, and because I myself flipped out one night because I thought I heard a banshee (yes, I'm that thick) but when I looked outside I caught a glimpse of a fisher cat.
