| Acually, the answer is "yes" because the question was, "Can you find 13 animals hidden in these words?" And that is a yes or no question. |

| Ants are really insects ^_^
But, nice, I liked how you made the words overlap... i didn't see char (never heard of it..) |

| Insects are actually in the animal kingdom. So it does work. 
Great teaser! |

| There are 13 excluding char. Nobody seems to have spotted ewt, which is an alternative name for the common newt, according to Dictionary.com |

An adder is a type of snake...a family of snakes I think. |

rahrules
Nov 01, 2005
| Not bad. Got them all quickly, except for char. Like most everyone else here, that was one I had never heard of. Oh well, I like to learn at least one new thing every day, and you've made that possible for me before I even got off to work. Now, I might as well take the dy off.  |
speediebean
Nov 01, 2005

(I wonder if I should mention that I got "adder" and "char" 'cause I knew what they are?)

BATBrain
Nov 01, 2005
| First- How dop you vote? All i could find is a thing saying if i register I can vote. I AM registered!!!
OK fun puzzle though for some reason seemed very easy to me. never heard of char or newt but way puzzle constructed I figured to get 13 they must be animals. |
BATBrain
Nov 01, 2005
| Duh!!! No sooner submitted comment and box came up saking for my vote. So answer is one way you vote is by submitting comment/ Any other way to get there? |

kimberlykay
Nov 01, 2005
| It was easy and I got them all, but honestly I like the easy ones b/c it makes me feel really good first thing in the morning when I can get the answer right. I think you did a FANTASTIC JOB, and more important than being easy...
IT WAS FUN and yes it was worthy of being a teaser. In my opinion, anything that is submitted and approved by editors is always worthy of being a teaser. Way to go Allie! |

Nov 01, 2005
| A char is a type of Arctic fish typically found in and around Alaska, for anyone who asked.
Very cute puzzle, though I, too, noticed the absence of that one. Not really a very common one, but how many people really know what it is? |

precious1026
Nov 01, 2005
| NO.
The Teaser was pretty good, and sort of easy. Sometimes its good to allow our brains to take a quick look at something and keep going before we turn into a Char  . Something that exist, that is unknown, and probably not too cute. |
precious1026
Nov 01, 2005
| No, I did not get all 13 Animals. Is an ELL an animal? OF Course an ell is an animal. No, is an ell a fish? or is a fish an ell? Your Teaser is good, in that it allows the brain to function in the unordinary. NOt just Work, Sleep and more Work. It takes us away from the Humdrum of Day to Day. There is Much FuNnnnnnnnnn In teasers....... |
precious1026
Nov 01, 2005
| I love reading the comments. I do believe that 8 out of 10 teaser readers have Higher Education. Its the responses. It's like a test was given. People make little jokes, but the bottom line is, did you get the correct answer? Most comments reveal a higher order of learning. No, I don't know a Char, but I got nine correct. Kool out! The next class is tomorrow's Teasers. |

aprilw32
Nov 01, 2005
| I didn't like this teaser because I didn't think that pheasant would be one of the 'animals' because it isn't actually AN ANIMAL. It's a type of animal.. doesn't make much sense. Good job. |
wizkid
Nov 01, 2005
| I would have had to known all of my animals before I could get it. What is an adder and a char? I never heard of those before. but it was fun. |
halfmoonscott
Nov 01, 2005
| Your use of the word "animals" was misleading since the names include rodents, birds, fish, snakes, etc. You could have phrased it better. And, REALLY, "char"? Way too obscure for a puzzle of this nature. How many people playing do you think would know the name of a trout with small scales and light colored spots? My father was a commercial fisherman, and I've never heard of a char. Not cool. |
iteachkids
Nov 01, 2005
| GET OUT! To me, "Animal" means "member of the animal kingdom." ALL of these creatures are members of the animal kingdom! |

r" before, either.*now opening dictionary.com |
realm2346
Nov 01, 2005
| i just looked up adder and char. Adder is a viper(reptile) and char is fish related to trout(I guess that means I won't try eating it anytime soon). |

Tracey2209
Nov 01, 2005
| I thought this teaser was great!
For those of you who don't know what a char is, it's a large Arctic fish that tastes exactly like salmon when it is cooked. It is commonly caught in Alaska and northern B.C.
and it is much cheaper to buy than salmon. A great alternative though!
(It helps to be from a fishing province!!) |
MAroxmysoxonice
Nov 01, 2005
| ditto wat sftbaltwty & healthybrain26 said
that was a really cool teaser

| Retiles, birds, snakes, fish...are all animals. Living things are broken up into Plants or animals and then there are subdivisions of those two groups. So the term ANIMALS were correct...none of the things were plants. |
solidgordy
Nov 02, 2005
| I only missed "char", although I vaguely remember now that I heard of it before. "Adder" is very poisonous snake and I think it's the kind Cleopatra killed herself with. It's in a few mystery novels also. Some of y'all make criticisms about things without bothering to research it first to see it you're really right or not. Tsk, tsk... There are not any mispellings, to the person who said there were, what was mispelled? I think it was good and there SHOULD be something that everyone delsn't get right away, like "char", that's why it's a teaser. |
formation007
Nov 03, 2005
| Good fun teaser. I got 12 out of the 13, just missed out Char probably cos i never heard of it but hey,, i learnt something new aswell. What more could i want? |

| Imurray, hmm, THE LESS INTELLIGENT SPECIES??? I WONDER too, if any of them had over 300 Braingle points would they be submitting teasers or just criticizing those who do. Is it teaser envy or what?
This was fine teaser, well thought out and well done. |
Phalanx
Nov 02, 2006
| I liked it too... was a certain challenge... since my English ain't all that gould when it comes up to such a specific vocabulary...
So I sat there and looked up letter-combinations which seemed to make a sense to me...
But I didn't get the char.... |
Pizzazz2u

RRAMMOHAN
Nov 02, 2006
| Couldnt get char, but got all the rest. Thanks for the word I learnt from this teaser.
Who is to decide on others being 'lesser animals'? We can have some fun with the names of these 'lesser animals', cant we, without harming them in any way, such as flogging them, racing them, etc.? (Call me a 'lesser animal', and I wont be upset!)
I liked this teaser. Thanks. |

SPUTNIK2
Nov 12, 2006
| char? whats a char? I still like these kind of teasers, but I like them when what is s'ppose to be in there should be in there, not and eel, ant (are the animals) or a pheasant, char or adder... |
Qrystal
Dec 08, 2006
| Much to my char-grin, I only got 12/13.
My eye kept stumbling over char, because it was the only remaining place for an animal to hide, but I just didn't recognize it. Oh well. At least there was something keeping this teaser from being overly easy! (I almost missed ant too, but took a second look when I realized I had only 11.) |

| Excellent teaser.
Char (also spelled charr) = a species of fish
Adder = A venomous snake (I'm really surprised people haven't heard of this)
To all those who are complaining about fish, birds, insects, etc. being animals: Learn what an animal is!
Mammals, birds, fish, amphibians, reptiles, insects and arachnids.
And to the person who said there are only Plants and Animals, you are incorrect, as it is commonly accepted that there are between 3-6 kingdoms.
Plants, Animals, Fungi, Protists, Monera (Eubacteria and Archaebacteria) |

dsjt
Nov 03, 2009
| I agree that the question as posed required simply a YES or NO answer.
But in order to answer the question you have to see if you can in fact find at least 13 animals in the combination of letters.
And YES I can find 13.
In fact I found 14. A REE is a female bird related to the sandpiper. |

| Everything found on the Earth can be categorized as being Animal; Vegetable; or Mineral. Since a Fish is not a vegetable or a mineral - then I would assume it is an animal!
search http://www.ehow.com for "animal vegetable mineral
I also learned about animal classifications many years ago in Biology class.
I always loved Biology; A&P; Physiology - that's probably why I became a nurse. |

| One respondent claims that a "ree" is a kind of bird related to the sandpiper, but, after having consulted several references, I cannot confirm this. I found a rather exhaustive list of known birds, and "ree" is totally absent from it. As an aside, until I encountered this puzzle, I had never heard of a fish called a "char," but was in fact able to confirm that there is such a critter. Live and learn. |
