Thursday, June 13, 2024

Welcome to part 19 of our intriguing series, Small Animal Riddles! Today, we have another puzzling riddle for you. Let's see if you can guess the answer!

  1. It's called a cat, yet it can fly high.
    说它是只猫，却能飞得高 
    Shuō tā shì zhī māo, què néng fēi dé gāo
  2. It hides in the treetops during the day, but at night, it carries things away.
    白天藏树梢，夜晚把物叼 
    Báitiān cáng shùshāo, yèwǎn bǎ wù diāo

Let's break it down step by step!

  • 说它是只猫，却能飞得高 (Shuō tā shì zhī māo, què néng fēi dé gāo)
    Despite being referred to as a cat, this creature has the ability to fly, which is not characteristic of cats. This suggests that we should consider another type of animal, one that shares certain characteristics with cats but has the ability to fly.
  • 白天藏树梢，夜晚把物叼 (Báitiān cáng shùshāo, yèwǎn bǎ wù diāo)
    This description further narrows down our options. The behavior of hiding in trees during the day and being active at night, along with the ability to carry objects away, points to a nocturnal predator, possibly a bird of prey.

Key Sentences:

  1. The owl silently swooped down to catch its prey.

    猫头鹰悄无声息地俯冲抓住了猎物。

    Māotóuyīng qiǎo wúshēngxī de fǔchōng zhuā zhùle lièwù.
  2. The hooting of an owl echoed through the forest at night.

    夜晚，猫头鹰的呼啸声在森林中回荡。
