Riddles!

[TheGoldenGriffin]

The animal mindom wants to hold a race. One animal will be chosen from each of thrre catigories:
- bird
- reptile
- primate
- insect
- bear
- marsupial
- canine
- mollusk
The animal kingdom also can't decide what kind of race it will be. It has to have some fairness in it. Examples:
A garden snail could represent the mollusks but it cannot compete in a flying race but a pigeon can
A silverback gorilla could represent the primates but not in a cave, it has no way to navigate in the dark like brown bats
A dingo could represent the canines but it can't compete in a climbing race but a gecko could
A grasshopper could represent the insects but not in a swimming race or it will drown unless its a mallard duck
A koala could represent the marsupials but it can't compete in a digging race but an earthworm could
Help the animal kingdom decide the animals and race.
