Last month we zoomed in on some animals that use suction to adhere to surfaces and asked you to guess who the suckers belonged to in a free ticket giveaway - congratulations to Madison Beale for winning this month's draw!

Here's a pun to distract you from looking at the answers if you haven't tried the quiz yet...
1. We asked: Which echinoderm has thousands of feet?
Answer: Spiny sea star
The spiny sea star uses its tube feet to detect prey. It releases a toxin that poisons whelks - used for both defence and hunting.
2. We asked: Whose sticky babies are these?
Answer: Abalone
Perlemoen are awesome! These sea snails have plenty of hidden talents.
3. We asked: Which fish is this big sucker?
Answer: Rocksucker
The rocksucker is the largest "clingfish" - group of fish who have suction cups instead of pelvic fins.
4. We asked: What's the name of this big ol' snail?
Answer: Alikreukel
This 'giant turban' is quite a popular food in some coastal communities in South Africa.
5. We asked: Which animal has spikes on top and all these little feet at the bottom?
Answer: Sea urchin
Sea urchins use long tube feet that extend from between their spines to move, and detect prey - these slow moving animals are omnivores.
6. We asked: Which animal's hugging the glass so tightly?
Answer: Limpet
Despite being flat, limpets are actually snails. Their low profiles allow them to stick tightly to rocks, even in stormy weather.
7. We asked: Which fish has no idea it's sleeping on a window?
Answer: Blackhand sole
Soles have both eyes on one side of their head!
8. We asked: Which mollusc is showing off its bunny-ears?
Answer: Arabic cowry
Cowry shells were the first currency ever used by humans - used over 3000 years ago in China and Africa.
9. We asked: Which creature has a mouth on the bottom and a bottom on the top?
Answer: Red sea star
Unlike the spiny sea star, this little one is a herbivore and grazes on seaweed fragments.
10. We asked: Lastly, to whom do the most glorious suckers of all belong?
Answer: Common octopus
The common octopus is amazingly intelligent - in fact this became the first ever invertebrate to be recognized as having certain rights in the ASPA act. We know that Miranda the octopus who lives with us is always devising new and clever ways to get to her food.
