Today is Pink Flamingo Day, so since we gave turtles a chance to shine, we thought we'd give these bright avians their moment in the spotlight. These long-legged and long-necked fellas are a curiosity of the bird world, causing us to wonder: where did they get their rosy color and why the heck do they stand on one leg!? If you want to know more about flamingos, you first have to test your knowledge on the wonderfully pink birds. Good luck!

It's Friday, March 2
And we must relay the news
That today's the birthday
Of the great Dr. Seuss.
From Horton and Yertle
To Biffer-Baum Birds,
He's delighted us all
With his characters and words.
So on this special day
In this silly feature
We'll honor him and amuse you
With our favorite Seussian creatures.
Happy Groundhog Day! Originally a German holiday, the first American reference to Groundhog Day was in 1841 via a diary entry noting the big job the little guy has of determining whether we will soon be basking in the budding spring or bundling up for another six weeks of Winter. Do you know anything about the groundhog? Take my quiz and test your knowledge in honor of the ground dweller famously known as Punxsutawney Phil.

With some of the silkiest fur around, Chinchillas are as sweet as they are soft. Although I've never had one as a pet (GeekSugar did!), I've dug up some fun facts on the cute rodents. Even if you wouldn't name yours Chill, Charlie, or Chi Chi, learn about the creatures anyway when starting this quiz.
