Test your knowledge of the natural world. Some are easy, some a bit more challenging. Many have been submitted by guest puzzlers (noted next to quiz links below). Pat yourself on the back with a good score and perhaps learn new insights. Come back and take them as often as you would like and challenge your family and friends to top your score.
Members, friends and partners are introduced to a new quiz periodically through Sightings, our email newsletter. Quizzes are also posted to our Facebook page.
