Dear Readers, when it comes to naming animals and plants, we often look to the elements, particularly substances such gold or silver. Our quiz this week is to match the photo to the element – one point for a correct match, another for the name. To make things harder, I will give you a list of elements, but some of them will be used several times (all of them will be used at least once). So, let’s see how you get on!

You will get one mark for the correct element, and another if you can name the animal or plant, so 30 marks are on offer in total.

So, if you think the animal in photo 1 is an iron monkey, your answer is 1) Iron/Iron Monkey.

As usual, as soon as I spot someone has answered, I will let you know and unapprove the post so that others aren’t influenced by what you’ve said. However, I won’t always spot that someone has responded, so if I were you I’d write my answers down first.

You have until 5 p.m. UK time on Thursday 4th February to pop your answers in the comments, and I’ll let you know the answers, and how you did, on Friday 5th February. Simples!

Have fun!
