The Chausingha (Tetracerus quadricornis) or four-horned antelope is the only animal in the world that typically has four horns - two pairs. The front pair is smaller than the rear pair. Bharal, Elk, and Blackbuck typically have two horns. The Chausingha is native to India and Nepal, and both males and females may have horns, though they're more prominent in males.

The Sociable Weaver bird of southern Africa constructs the largest unit nest structure in the world. Their massive communal nests can house hundreds of birds and weigh tons, lasting for generations. These apartment-like nests are built on trees or utility poles. Red-billed Quelea form huge flocks but don't build collective nests. Ostriches dig simple ground nests. Mountain Drongos are not known for nest-building achievements.

Omnivores consume both plant and animal matter. Chimpanzees, pigs, and ravens are all omnivores with varied diets. Snakes, however, are carnivores - they eat only other animals, making them the correct answer for 'not an omnivore'.

Birds are bipedal, meaning they walk on two hind limbs. This is a defining characteristic. Option B is false because not all birds fly (ostriches, penguins, kiwis). Option C is false because birds evolved from theropod dinosaurs, not amphibians. Option D is false because feathers are modified reptilian scales, not teeth.

Reptiles include snakes, turtles, lizards (like skinks), and crocodilians. Frogs are amphibians, not reptiles - they have moist skin, undergo metamorphosis, and typically live part in water and part on land. This fundamental difference in classification makes frogs the correct answer.

Bull sharks, tiger sharks, and whale sharks are all well-known shark species. 'Lion shark' is not a real shark species - this appears to be a fabricated name. The question tests knowledge of actual shark species versus made-up ones.

The Tufted Titmouse (Baeolophus bicolor) is a small songbird native to North America, belonging to the tit family Paridae. Despite its name containing 'mouse', it is not a rodent. Weasels, mice, and moles are all mammals, but the Titmouse is a bird.

Tiger cubs typically stay with their mother for approximately 2 years, learning essential hunting and survival skills before becoming independent. This 2-year period is well-documented in tiger behavioral studies. 4, 6, or 10 years would be far too long for maternal dependence in big cats.

Black Iron Wood (Olea laurifolia) is renowned for having the heaviest wood density in the world. Balsa is actually famous for being the lightest wood, opposite to what the question seeks. Durian and mango produce medium-density woods not known for extreme weight.

Ectothermic organisms rely on external environmental heat sources to regulate their body temperature - the scientific definition of 'cold-blooded'. Endothermic (like mammals) generate internal heat. Polymorphic and paraphyletic are unrelated biological terms.

White-tailed deer fawns have evolved to produce very little body scent, making them difficult for predators to locate by smell. This is a crucial survival adaptation. They cannot spray odour like skunks (A), don't have a pouch like marsupials (B), and cannot change color like chameleons (D).

Gangtok is the capital of Sikkim. However, there is a spelling error in option B - it should be 'Gangtok' not 'Gangtak'. Dispur is the capital of Assam, Gandhinagar of Gujarat, and Bhubhaneswar of Odisha.

Gandhinagar is the capital of Gujarat, established in 1960 after the state's formation. Amritsar is in Punjab, Lucknow (misspelled as Luknow) is the capital of Uttar Pradesh, and Patna is the capital of Bihar.

Panaji (also spelled Panjim) is the current capital of Goa, a state on India's west coast known for its beaches and Portuguese heritage. Patna is the capital of Bihar, Jaipur of Rajasthan, and Mumbai is the capital of Maharashtra.

Gandhinagar has been the capital of Gujarat since 1960. It is a planned city named after Mahatma Gandhi and located on the west bank of the Sabarmati River. Jaipur is the capital of Rajasthan, Mumbai is the capital of Maharashtra, and Godra is a city in Gujarat but not the capital.
