Whiskers are interesting additions to animal bodies. They're coarse hairs known as vibrissae that rarely shed. Although there are some breeds of domestic dogs and cats that don't have whiskers, they have been selectively bred not to have them, and it can be rather dangerous for them to be absent or trimmed. Anyone who owns a cat or a dog knows that whiskers aren't only the cutest thing in the world on an animal; they are a necessity. For most mammals in the animal kingdom, whiskers function as another sense. The tiny coarse hairs are connected to an intricate cluster of nerves that helps the animal see, sense danger and find food. It is nature's way of making up for their lack of logic and reasoning. While there are thousands of animals that have whiskers for this purpose, we've only chosen 40 for this quiz.
If you love playing with your pet's whiskers, it's important to know that they aren't the only ones roaming around with those little hairs. Take this quiz to see if you can identify all of these animals who actually have whiskers ... You'll be surprised who in the animal kingdom has whiskers and where they're located.
