Blouspook, if I just told you the answers, it wouldn't be a question now would it. The "insane" people who would know no.1 are probably those who have an interest in life that stretches a little further than their dog and the people in the Huisgenoot.
If you don't like the question, then don't answer it. Some do.

Tiisetsomo, yes a crab is a crustacean, but crustaceans are invertebrates.

Hey, Vango, you evidently know all the answers, so why not just tell us and in that way brag with your superior knowledge?
The shrew ( skeerbekmuis) is the answer to 5. Any one of question 2 could fit the bill.
The answer to 3 could be awe inspiring and why any sane person would know the answer to 4 is beyond me. Pray tell.
