Final Jeopardy!

I got it right! 

Category: Mammals 

Answer: "Ancient Romans knew this animal featured in their circuses as a hippotigris". 

My reasoning: Hippo = horse and I assumed tigris = tiger.  Horse + tiger = horse tiger?  Tiger horse?  No...AH HA!  Zebra.  It's a zebra! (Thank you to my one quarter of Latin for helping me figure this out.)

Question: What is a Zebra?  Correct! 

It's not everyday I know the answer to final jeopardy.

  1. I'm impressed! I rarely know the answer to any Jeopardy questions, especially not the Final Jeopardy questions.
