Quiz

When it comes down to it, the Woudestein Campus is no more than a rectangle with a depressing number of high-rise buildings on it, and an underground car park underneath. However, this does not alter the fact that – thanks mostly to the tender loving care provided by a 91-year-old gardener –urban flora and fauna are thriving on campus. And since World Animal Day is just around the corner, we hereby present you with a quiz on all things that grow, creep and fly. It should be noted that the maker of the quiz has low expectations, since he is convinced that the average EUR student can barely tell a shrub from a tree, let alone a duck from a goose, but never mind that – the winners may win 2 x 2 tickets for the movie ‘Sonic Sea’ that will be shown on October 26th at the Wildlife Film Festival!
