Updated: Added Case 3.
Question :
One rabbit saw 6 elephants while going towards River.
Every elephant saw 2 monkeys are going toward river.
And Every monkey holds one parrot in their hands.
Now tell us how many animals are going towards river Or also known as animals going towards the river riddle
Hint : Use Maths Logic
Answer : scroll down..
Updated 21/04( Many Thanks for comments):
Case 1: Best Case Scenario ( minimum animals to make the statement true)
1 rabbit saw 6 elephants while going to river. So, its only rabbit going to river and not the elephants.
Every elephant saw 2 monkeys going to river. So, it could be same 2 monkeys seen by all the elephants. So there are 2 monkeys going to river.
Hence, total = 1+2 = 3
Case 2: Worst case scenario ( treating all as animals. i.e. max number of animals to make the statement true)
1 Rabbit
6 Elephants
6*2=12 Monkeys
Each monkey has 1 parrot in hand so 12 parrots.
Total = 1 + 6 + 12 + 12 = 31
Case 3: Treating Birds as Animals.
1 Rabbit, 2 Monkeys, 2 Birds
So total of 5.
Thanks all for your valuable comments.
Parrot is not an animal, its a bird
Updated ( Corrected the comment):
Thanks Guna for your reply. 2 possible answers above !
Updated (21/04): Added 3rd Case – Birds as animals. Thanks all for your comments.
One more possivle answer is 1 rabbit 2monkeys 2parrots… Total 5
The rabbit SAW six elephants – they’re not going anywhere
Two monkeys and two parrots – answer is 5
Parrot is not a animal
Parrots not animal, it’s bird
And each elephant saw 2 monkeys. There’s 12 monkeys not 2 >.<
that’s what i thought as well. parrots are animals too!
2+2=4
Parrot is not a animal
Birds are very much within the Kingdom Animalia, Phyllum Chordata.
Types of animals
*birds
*insects
*fish
*Mammals
*Etc
What is it then you idiot unless its vegetable or mineral it lives and breathes its a bird still an animal !
Birds are classified in 6 different animal groups
Fucking dopes! Animals aren’t just organisms that walk on four legs. Bugs, jellyfish, and even sea sponges are all animals. In kingdom Animalia, there are nine phyla, or subdivisions, of animals. Phyla are organized from the least evolved, porifera, to the most evolved, chordata.
Yes it is. And so are we.
In what universe? Of course it is!
A bird is an animal. LOL. They still belong to Kingdom Animalia.. Known to be aerial.. Please study taxonomy.. Or even just simple biology
Any living thing is an animal. Animal definition; a living organism that feeds on organic matter, typically having specialized sense organs and nervous system and able to respond rapidly to stimuli.
A parrot is a bird, but it’s still an animal. Just the same as an elephant is a mammal but still an animal!
Matalino ka nga!
You need to go back to school. Birds are a species in the Animal kingdom. Whoever told you birds aren’t animals is equally as misinformed as you are
All birds r animals wtf u on about take the time to google all living life its broken into 5 groups plants animal blah blah blah birds r in the animal kingdom
BIRDS ARE ANIMALS. WTF? humans are animals. Snakes are animals.
a living organism which feeds on organic matter, typically having specialized sense organs and nervous system and able to respond rapidly to stimuli.
Yes it is.
Of course a parrot is an animal!
parrots are not animals, they are birds
so answer is 3
The stupid is strong with this one.
youre a moron lmao
Even the people Re also part of animals as a biologu study says
So the bird is a part of animal
they belong to the kingdom animalia…so they are still classified as an animal… please study taxonomy…that will help you a lot… ?
There are 6 basic ANIMAL groups. Those 6 being amphibians, reptiles,fish,invertebrates mamals, and BIRDS! Omg I can’t believe there’s people who think birds aren’t animals.
Parrot is not a nimal
Whats a nimal? Lol
Yes it is look it up,
Bro parrots are birds
Bro..birds are animals
Bro, how can people think birds are not animals!!!!!!!!! There are many different animal classes and every animal in the world belongs to one of them. The five most well known classes of vertebrates (animals with backbones) are mammals, birds, fish, reptiles, amphibians. They are all part of the phylum chordata — I remember “chordata” by thinking of spinal chord.
1 rabbit 2 monkeys and the monkey hole a porrot in there had which they have 2 hands so it would be 5 but it did said the monkey were seen heading 2 the river it didn’t say they were going so the answer is 1
If you read the puzzle line by line you will notice that its the rabbit going towards river
(One rabbit saw 6 elephants while going towards River).
Now there are two monkeys also going towards river
(Every elephant saw 2 monkeys are going towards river, its the same two monkeys seen by every elephant)
Now puzzle also says that every monkey holds one parrot
(Every monkey holds one parrot in their hands)
that means parrots are also, obviously, going towards river. So we need to count two parrots as well.
So in total we have 5 animals going towards river : 1 Rabbit, 2 Monkeys and 2 Parrots.
Why one?rabbit only saw not going.the question is how many animals are going towards to the river.
I get 25 – 6 elephants (didn’t say elephants were going to the river) saw 2 monkeys going to the river = 12 monkeys / each monkey had a parrot = 12 parrots / plus the rabbit = 25 animals going to the river / parrots ARE TOO animals.
Me too!
That’s how I read it. As the rabbit was GOING TO THE RIVER saw 6 elegants who REACH saw 2 monkey’s going TOWARDS Zthe river with a parrot in there hands. THE QUESTION IS HOW MANY ANIMALS ARE GOING TOWARDS THE RIVER. 24.
Each elephant saw the same pair of monkeys. They didn’t see six different pairs of monkeys. Only two monkeys total.
Or 7, if each monkey has a parrot in their hands, since each monkey has two hands.
Doesn’t say “each monkey carried a parrot in each hand” it said “each monkey carries one parrot in it’s hands” — between it’s two hands, it carries one bird. Two monkeys = two parrots. Plus the rabbit makes a total of 5 animals in all going toward the river.
Um, but technically the parrots were BROUGHT to the river. They didn’t go to the river.
the parrots change in geographic location includes them. it doesn’t specify their intent to go, nor their means of going, just that they are, in fact, “going towards”. The two parrots are therefore included with the 1 rabbit and 2 monkeys for a total of 5 animals in all going TOWARDS the river.
How do you get two parrots? Just like when it says every elephant saw two monkeys and you know that means every elephant saw the same two monkeys, every monkey holds one parrot means that every monkey holds the same one parrot in it’s hands. One rabbit, two monkeys, and one parrot. 4
I agree with the second statement but the Elephants should not be added in as it doesn’t say they are going to the river. Also, birds are an animal just a specific classification of the animal Kingdom therefor 25 animals
But the question did it say the elephants were going to the river just that the rabbit saw them! So take away six.
You post the question and give two possible answers, neither one is correct.
Guna is not right. A bird is an animal. I think you and Guna are thinking of the term mammal….?
NO, using logic and reading the language – it is 5
I agree it’s 5..no one said the Elephants were going to the river. They were just saw by the rabbit as he went toward the river.
A bird is most certainly an animal! There are 6 groups (in the US, 5 elsewhere) of living things called Kingdoms then Class and further from there. The 6 groups are: Archaea and Bacteria (Monerans in other countries) Protists, Fungi, Plants, and Animals. Birds fall under the kingdom of animals and class called Aves. You are probably thinking of mammals which is in the class Mammalia which are warm blooded, have hair and milk producing mothers.
Seriously? Wjen did birds become not animals?
The 6 elephants should never count.
So, at first I got 5 but then when I read it again it said that they “saw” them going but the question is how many “are going” so I got 0 ARE going.
You got the correct answer. Other answers ate subjective but then again no one can argue with saw vs are. So 0 is the answer.
A parrot is in the bird category of animals. “a living organism that feeds on organic matter, typically having specialized sense organs and nervous system and able to respond rapidly to stimuli.”
Parrots ARE animals geez can’t believe ppl are saying they aren’t!
It’s ok. People swear up and down that humans aren’t animals.
Wasn’t your question how many going towards the river not to. If so to and towards are similar not the same
No offense, but when the is a bird not an animal???
Parrots are animals. Both monkeys are holding the same parrot. Answer is: 4.
Four is also a possible answer…. because if you focus on the question ‘how many are going TOWARDS the river’ it would just be the two monkeys and the two parrots. Because the word towards, if u think of it, is a clearer path or direction from the river and u often use the word towards when they are close together…. for all we know, the rabbit was going to the river but was still somewhere far and just saw the elephants through binoculars. So if u focus on the question, just the two monkeys and their parrots.
The five most well known classes of vertebrates (animals with backbones) are mammals, birds, fish, reptiles, amphibians.
I dont think you should count the rabbit…the words “to” and “toward” mean two diffrent things. Because you can go Towards something without going To it. So counting the birds as animals and saying each of the six elephants saw two monkeys who where each holding a parrot and going TOWARDS the river its 24 animals.
In the second case elephants are not going towards river they say monkey’s moving towards river so total animals should be 25 (maximum consideration)
As
1 rabbit
12 monkeys
12 parrots
1+12+12=25
Thank you ?
6 elephants are going toward the river
PARROTS ARE ANIMALS PEOPLE!!! What you mean is that parrots are not mammals, they are birds, but birds ARE in the animal kingdom people…. To back to biology class please……..geesh!!!!!!
The answer can be 7 as well.
Rabbit – 1
Monkeys – 2
Parrots – 4
Each Monkey got 2 hands, each hand holding one parrots..
birds belong to kingdom animalia… birds are animals. even humans are. i hope u pay more attention in the biology class… 🙂
Lol, yes you are right indeed. Depending on belief you can choose either of the 2 answers we posted. Please like us !!
Its science, whether ypu believe it or not. Lol. I dont like you bc you’re dumb.
Your question and your answer makes no sense to and towards have two different meanings you asked how many are going towards(which is direction of) not to towards is 4 going to is one.
Then why do they say animals n birds?
Thank you so much for this response was wondering if I didn’t pay attention in biology class.
????
As birds belong to kingdom animalia… birds are animals. even humans are.
??????????
bird is an animal according to wikipedia :/
Every means each rite, then how can you say) same 2 monkeys seen by all the elephants.. There is little difference between all and every
Every and each can hold their own separate meaning
a bird is an animal
The bird group is one of the 6 animal groups
Birds are animal 😐
Absolute answer is 3, and parrots are also animals. But parrots are taken by monkeys..so parrots are not going by itself.
It didn’t say how many animals are taking themself it said how many are going towards the river
But they are still going. It doesn’t matter if they flew or the monkey takes them they should be counted
If you are being carried by somebody or being driven you would still say you are going somewhere. You dont have to be physically moving on your own.
You have the most sensible answer
Where does it say the animals have to be going by themselves?
Haha. So if a car is going east at 60 milesan hour and you are in it does it mean that you are not in it and rhat you too are not going 60 miles an hour?
Sorry wrong. All living things are classified into 2 major groups ie, plants and animals. So long as parrot does not belong to plants, it can be animal only.
Thank god someone has some sense!
Mineral don’t forget mineral !
All organisms except plants and micro-organisms are animals. Birds, reptiles, insects, amphibians, fishes, molluscans, annelida , etc are included in kingdom ANIMALIA. Fastest animal on this planet is peregrine falcon (a raptor bird).
Excuse me, but parrots are birds and last time I checked, all birds are part of Kingdom Animalia I.e animals
This is one dumbazz answer!
All birds are animals
A parrot is an animal, it’s not a mammal, but it is an animal
…and a bird IS an animal. Are you really that stupid? Must be if you honestly think a parrot is NOT an animal. How many times did you fail kindergarten? 7? You, OP, have gone full retard. Never go full retard.
….. are you actually joking?
birds are 1 of the six groups that comprise “animals”. look it up!
A bird is part of the animal kingdom
The five most well known classes of vertebrates (animals with backbones) are mammals, birds, fish, reptiles, amphibians. They are all part of the phylum chordata — I remember “chordata” by thinking of spinal chord. There are also a lot of animals without backbones.
Yes a bird IS an animal.
Parrots are not mammals. Parrots are however animals.
an·i·mal (anəməl)
noun
1.
a living organism that feeds on organic matter, typically having specialized sense organs and nervous system and able to respond rapidly to stimuli.
Actually, the highest order of zoological classification is animalia. The “kingdom” includes all living organisms: animal, plant, fungi, bacteria (single-celled organisms without a nucleus) and protists (single-celled organisms with a nucleus).
PHYLUM – “Chordata“. Phylum furthers categorizes the ranking of those in the animal kingdom. The group “chordata” includes all vertabrate animals (those with spinal chords, including humans). In the animal kingdom there are 36 animal phyla.
CLASS – “Aves“. The aves group includes only birds and indicates that its members have feathers.
ORDER – “Psittaciformes“. Refers specifically to parrots.
FAMILY – “Cacatuidae“. This group includes ALL cockatoos – including the cockatiel.
SUB FAMILY – “Cacatuinae”. This category refers specifically to the white cockatoos.
GENUS – “Cacatua“. The genus refers to a group of birds that have certain defining characteristics in common.
SPECIES – “goffini“. Finally we arrive at the one and only goffins cockatoo – totally unique unto itself. In order to point to the exact classification of this species, you need only two words: cacatua goffini – its “scientific name”.
SUBSPECIES – none.
Animal is an umbrella term which encompasses reptiles, fish, birds etc.
But isn’t a bird an animal? Do vegetarians eat birds?
defuq kinda since does that make, you tellin me a Bird is not an animal
thats the dumbest thing i’ve ever heard
birds aren’t animals?
everything alive thats not plant is a part of the animal kingdom even humans
Birds are animals……
You might be thinking of mammal. An animal is usually defined something like …
“a living organism which feeds on organic matter, typically having specialized sense organs and nervous system and able to respond rapidly to stimuli”.
Birds are an animal. They are not mammals but one of the six main animal groups.
Ummm so what is a bird if its not an animal? Serriously
you are dumb
Birds are one of the major groups of animals… The bird group is one of six basic animal groupsanimal groups, with the others being amphibians, fish, invertebrates, mammals and reptiles.
Uhhhh, bird is of 6 types of animals. So, yes, the parrot’s count.
Birds are animals
Really? When did birds become not animals?
a bird, by definition, IS an animal.

Where did u go to school… the animal kingdom is broken down into 6 types… birds,mammals,amphibians,fish,reptiles and invertibrates…. suggest some touching up
A bird is an animal.
1 rabbit going to the river. The six elephants presumably are not in a group or had it been then the quis would state it. Hence, all 6 elephants not altogether saw 2 monkeys each, going towards the river. So, 12 monkeys are also going towards the river. Same 12 monkeys are holding 1 parrot and by “holding” would mean 12 parrots are also going to that rivers. The rabbit plus 12 monkeys and 12 parrots equal 25 animals are going to the river
Are birds not animals? Gosh whos your biology teacher?
A bird is an animal. There is more to the animal kingdom than mammals.
All og them are animals just specific race of them birds are also animals animals is the common phrase
All organisms except plants and micro-organisms are animals. Birds, reptiles, insects, amphibians, fishes, molluscans, annelida , etc are included in kingdom ANIMALIA.
So parrot is an animal.
Fastest animal on this planet is peregrine falcon (a raptor bird).
its still an animal,its a bird part of the anima kingdom as an elephant is a mammal also part of the animal kingdom hence if you mistreat a parrot the R.S.P.C.A. will get involved.
Birds are animals
Idiot birds ARE animals.WE are animals almost ALL life on Earth is an animal of some shape or form.
please stop doing riddles
Parrot is an animal. Three kingdoms: plant, animal and fungi. If not animal, then what???
Yes, And birds are animals.
Sorry have to interject
Animals have 6 sub species one of which is birds.
Bird is belong to Class of Birds and Considered animals.
Birds are animalsd
Birds are animals.
birds are animals…look it up
birds belong to animal kingdom
ARE you….trolling? Birds ARE ANIMALS. Wtf?
In what world is a bird not an animal?
Birds are animals. So are amphibians, fish, and any other living creature that feeds on organic matter. Get a dictionary.
Birds are, in fact, animals. Thanks for playing.
Parrots ARE animals – animals include: mammals, birds, reptiles, amphibians, fish, and ALL the invertebrates (e.g., bugs, worms, clams, coral, sponges, etc.).
Birds are animals weirdos
A parrot is an animal
But it is considered as animals Kingdom.
Wrong. Birds are animals as well. Birds, fish, reptiles, and mammals all belong in taxonomic kingdom Animalia. They are ALL animals.
Answer is 3 they all are watching same 2 monkeys
There is 1 rabbit and 6 elephants and two monkeys total 9
What about the 2 parrots
Two? The riddle only lists one parrot.
How about elephants seeing the same 2 monkeys with parrots?
Well, in that case it would come to 21 (1+6+12+2). Its mix of both cases above?
6
I would have said 4 as the monkeys are the only ones going towards the river with a parrot in their hands rest are on way to river
Exactly…. going to and going Towards are different…..you can being anywhere/somewhere….. but going Towards something is in a specific direction
Suppose the 2 monkeys are both holding the same bird?
1 rabbit, 2 monkies are going to river so total: 3 animals are going towards river
I will agree with you on that but, you are wrong I think your answer would be 5 because each monkey holds 1 parrots so 2 +2+1=5
I Agree!!!
1 rabbit +2 monkeys with 2 parrots=5
parrot is not an animal
Parrot is not a MAMMAL it is indeed an animal.
the monkeys has a pair of hands do 4 parrots
One rabbit saw 6 elephants while going to river has no special characters
one rabbit saw “6 elephants while going to river”
or “one rabbit” saw 6 elephants while going to river.
Who is going to river in the above sentence the rabbit or the elephants?
Its not 6 elephants going to river….
Its 6 elephants while going to river… So its very clear that only rabit is going to river..
Correct
Sentence structure tells us the subject of this sentences is the rabbit. WHILE is kinda our linchpin here if it was missing I could get on board with the elephants going toward but since in this sentence we have
Subject: Rabbit.
What subject is experiencing: Saw (X) While (Doing Y)
I can’t get on board with the Elephants in motion based on this.
One rabit+2 monkeys are going towards river.
So Ans is 3
One rabit+2 monkeys are going towards river.
So Ans is 3
Correct
Nope the rabbit is going to the river.. the question is how many are going towards the river so 2 monkeys each with 1 parrot.. hence 4
THIS… Is the correct answer
I agree with 4.
I guess its 3 . Parrot is bird so they are out of the race. Rabbit while going to the river saw 6 elephants. And all the 6 elephants saw same 2 monkeys going to the river. So onluy 2 monkeys and a rabbit are going to the river….
Absolute answer is 3,and parrots are also animals..why because human beings and animals are there in our nature,then birds are also animals(some times humans are also animals).. but answer is 3,why because there parrots are taken by monkeys towards the river.. so finally answer is one rabbit and two monkeys going towards the river..
The correct answer is the two monkeys – they are the only ones described as going towards the river . The rabbits destination may be the river by he is no described as going towards it.
8 is the answer
Parrot is an animal.Accurate answer is 5
answer might be 2 :
as 1 rabbit + 2 monkeys =3 , but 2 monkeys can be count as a single animal ..
Hence rabbit and monkey …
lol !!!
That’s a smart answer…
8
3 and1
Nowhere it is clear Rabbit is going towards river, and it says “saw”. That means to me, zero animals going towards river
Wow… you guys are fucking stupid as shit! Are you seriously fucking debating whether a bird is an animal!?!? Really? If it isn’t an animal, what the fuck is it? Please explain this…Wow.
Interesting answer…didn’t thought the clue hidden inside it
Ans is 13, cause Elephants are not goings towards river.
What If the 6 elephants saw the same 2monkeys ( not each 2 monkeys ) Isn’t this question raise!!
Then it will be 1rabbit+ 2 monkeys
Right answer is 3
Answer would be 5 only
Only eight animal (6 elephants+ 2 monkeys) were going towards river.
– the rabbit only saw not went to river.
– the two monkeys holds one parrot each which are birds not animals.
Read the question again. Rabbit saw the elephant while going toward the river…
31
31
Haha only rabbit is going to river so answer must be 1
😀
Let’s use English here and not math. A rabbit along with a parade of elephants a troop of monkeys and pandemonium of parrots went to the river….
Simple as it is???
Enter your comment here…13 animals
1rabbit , 2 monkeys each holding a parrot in handS. hence 4 hands. so 7animals
all wrong, correct answer:
Only 5 elephants, because the rest all scared and go back home to watch POGO channel,, ha ha
Elephant’s r not going to the river…
It didnt say elephants are not going to river. Rabit saw elephants while going. It could be possible elephants are also going to river and rabit saw on the way
Ans. Is 25
The is 1 Rabbit who is going towards river and saw elephants..
So (consider 1 Rabbit) and
1 elephant saw 2 Monkeys are going towards River
So dere r 6 elephants so (consider 12 Monkeys..)
And every Monkey holds 1 Parrot in hand.. so (consider 12 Parrots)
1 Rabbit + 12 Monkeys + 12 Parrots = 25 Animals
RABIT IS MAMMAL
Its 3….. 1 rabbit + 2 monkeys
Correct Answer please
Scientifically is five (5) animals but in non-scientific usage is 3 animals
Answer is 4 : 1 rabbit. 2 monkeys. 1 parrot
Bloody hell there are 2 monkeys only so each can see 2 monkeys so there must be 2 monkeys when an elephant can see only 2 monkeys are the remaining monkeys invisible?for other elephants there are only TWO Monkeys so each can see only two so 1 rabbit+ 6 elephants+2MONKEYS+ 2 Parrots =11(ELEVEN) Onlyyyyyy ?????
Brain teasers require u think out of the box, u need to read every line with understanding. 5 animals were going towards the river. ATU CHIDERA said so. Remember, 1 rabbit saw 6 elephants, the elephants wia not going towards the river, each element saw 2 monkeys, that means there were only 2 monkeys, since each held a parrot, we have 2 parrots, (1+6+2+2=11 animals seen). 11-6elephants since they were not said to be going to the river=5 animals doing road work towards the river. QED!!!
The elephants just saw 2 monkeys & not parrots,so there is no witness to prove about parrots,is just the writer saying that.(seeing & hearing aren’t the same).I will go to 1 rabbit & 2 monkeys are going forwards to the river.
correct answer is 3 as rabbit and 2 monkeys which come under animal category are going towards river, and most of them will consider parrot but they are birds not animal
Well according to me it should be one i.e. only a rabbit is going. As regards monkeys, they cannot walk like humans or apes on two legs holding the parrots. The monkeys are just put in for the sake of confusion.
I do have an issue with the statement “And every monkey holds one parrot in their hand”. It does not categorically tell us whether or not they had parrots in their hands..the first two sentences and present continuous but the last one looks like a general statement: this measuring cup holds two cups of flour. It does not mean there is flower in the measuring cup at the time of the observation. So my answer is three; a rabbit and two monkeys; worst case scenario, 5 if we assume the money’s had parrots in their hands at the time.
Just a wild thought..why are we ignoring Elephants? Possibility could be that Elephants are also going towards river & since Rabbit is fast so he could hv seen them while going towards river.
it’s a 13 animals
Answer is One.. As Rabbit is the only one going to the river, as mentioned in the question. Rest all can go anywhere!
31 s the crt ans.
If u don’t understand. again & again u can read
Birds ARE animals.
The answer is 1 rabbit, 2 monkeys, and 2 parrots. Total of 5 animals going towards river.
The other answer of 31 doesn’t make sense, since every elephant essentially saw the same 2 monkeys.
The only correct answer would be 5. Not 31, not 3, it’s 5 animals going towards river.
Some guys didn’t understand the question. … The question is…” How many Animals are going towards the river “
The real answer is 3 reason because – in every puzzle, just like magic; there is always the ‘FOCAL’ and the ‘BAIT’. The FOCAL is where the answer lies buy the BAIT is a distraction.
Usually the trick is that, the BAIT is often more frequent than the FOCAL. Here the FOCAL is “animals” and the BAIT is “numbers”. So in all there are 3 animals going to the river aside the Elephant listed above.
So therefore Ans: 3.
*Note the numbers are the BAIT.
What’s all the Focal and Number Bullshit all about? Not making sense
DEVESH ; RAJU & ANONYMOUS U GUYS R
CORRECT
PARROT IS ALSO ANIMALIA
Rabbit is not going in river as a question is towards going inriver …and parrot is an bird not animal so not count … Next elephant saw 2 monkeys 6 or more elephants can see only 2 monkeys because there 2 monkeys .. Finally answer is 6 elephants and 2 monkeys
1 rabbit & 2 monkeys
Parrots are animals. However they are not going to the river. They are being taken to the river.
Only Rabbit was certainly going towards river so answer is 1
Parrot is not animal
1 Rabbit, Every elephant saw 2 monkeys going towards the river .So the answer is 1+(2*6)=13
Correct Answer is 3 , it’s about how much not how many.
parrots are not animal but they are not waling towards river so answer is 3 rabbit and 2 monkeys 🙂 😉
As per the kingdom animalia, animals are classified into two types. Vertebrates and invertebrates.parrot will come under first category.so you have to include parrot also. My frnd
1 rabbit, 2 monkeys, 2 parrots… = 5… It’s correct one… I believe
1 animal
One Rabbit saw 6 Elephant going towards river = 1 Rabit = 6 Elephant = 7
Six Elephant saw two monkeys + 2 Monkeys = 2
( Parrots are Birds and not animals)
Answer is 9
1 Rabit + 2 Monkeys + 2 parrots = 5 animals going towards the river as 6 elephants are not going towards the river, so shouldn’t be counted. Parrots are also going towards the river as they are in motion with respect to surroundings according to Physics.
bird comes under family animalia. hence its an animal 😉
Complicated question.. More than one answer is possible..

“animals such as spiders”
Completely agree. The rabbit and two monkeys are physically moving themselves closer to the river, while the parrots are stationary and being carried towards the river. I say 3.
Generally if asked what do u say for parrot? Bird or animal?……….Specially for those who said it animal.
Note: parrot is not an animal.
There is 2 answers
3, if the elephant saw the same monkeys
13, if the elephant saw different monkeys.
There are 9 animals
1 rabbit
6elephants
2 monkeys
hahaha nice bro read the question 2 to 3 times
no elephant saw monkies going to the river . it doesnt say coming to the river side
5, if you consider parrot as animal or 3 if you not consider parrot as animal
CANT ACCEPT CASE 2
my answer 7
1 rabbit
2 monkeys… each hand hold 1 parrot… 2 hands = 2 parrot, total 4 parrots
4 parrots
7 🙂
Rabbit going towards River.
River is a park Ranger.
Rabbit was not going towards the same river as the two monkeys and one parrot.
Animals going towards river total 3
2 monkeys
1 parrot.
I think it’s only two monkeys with four parrots on each monkeys’ hands which make it 6. And the questions says how many animals are going towards ‘river’ not River.
As monkey are going towards river ; this means parot are also going towards river
Then ans should be 5
What is all 6 elephants saw 2 different monkeys?
So 12 monkeys are going towards river 1 Rabbit is going
So answer is 13
OR to consider Parrots within the answer, though they are birds
12 monkeys will have 12 parrots and 1 Rabbit so 25 can be another answer.
Parrot is not an animal it’s a bird
The key word is TOWARDS the river.so answer is two
some stupid answers here
No. Birds are not animals
You forgetting about the ants…
1 Rabbit+2 Monkey = 3
A parrot is an animal so shut the fuck up and start making researches
Hey
Ain’t bird an animal
But the monkeys where with one bird each
So 1 rabbit +2 monkeys +2 parrots
Therefore
It’s five animals
Hey
I second you
It’s suppose to be five ?
Are u stupid
Bird comes under animal category only
This post is filled with idiots Loooool
The answer is 4…..please note that the riddle is a question involving ENGLISH and MATHS the question asked how many animals are going TOWARDS the river….only the monkeys and parrots are going TOWARDS the river the rabbit saw the elephants WHILE going to the river. Everyone is only looking at this riddle mathematically.
You are right! Finally a smart one here ?
Even insects are animals birds are not excluded
7one rabbit n6 elephants
This is correct. I don’t know why the heck they count the elephants since we don’t know where the elephants are going.
Please tell me you are joking bird is the specie and yes is an animal just like reptiles mammals fish holy Yisus where is the asteroid?
A parrot IS an animal.
4 the rabbit saw while headed to…
two monkeys carried two parrots
TOWARDS THE RIVER…. not headed to…. how many were headed to
Totally agree.
andddddddddddddd what is a bird boys and girls??? AN ANIMAL!!!!!
you’re all animals!
Holy crap there are a lot of dumb people in this thread. Repeat after me “a bird is an animal” “a bird is an animal” “a bird is a fecking animal”…. Go back to bloody school!
Dude. You’re an idiot. Bird is one of 6 groupings of animals.
Each monkey holds 1 parrot in their
hands so 1 monkey holds 1 parrot..monkeys are going towards the river holding 1 parrot in their hands.so altogether 4 animal ..2 monkeys n 2 parrots i thik…answer is 4
A BIRD IS AN ANIMAL!!! The bird group is one of six basic animal groups, with the others being amphibians, fish, invertebrates,mammals and reptiles. so my answer is 1 Rabbit + 2 monkeys + 2 parrots = 5 animals going torward the river.
The rabbit is going toward the river if it is going there.
You could also say 25 12 monkeys 12 parrots and 1 rabbit for it said thhe elephants say 2 monkeys each heading toward the river.it didnt say the elephants were heading anywhere
you assume Every Elephant saw a different set of monkeys it the word problem never said that. I read it four times nowhere did it say more than 2 monkeys only that each elephant saw 2 monkeys headed to the river. assuming the elephants stayed in one spot based on sentence 1 I’m betting they never saw the rabbit but they all saw the 2 monkeys walk by. IMO answer is 5. 1 rabbit + 2 monkeys + 2 kidnapped but traveling parrots.
I’m assuming your trolling. No one is that stupid!
so wait if you are kidnapped and thrown on a plane to australia you not actually going anywhere????? oh i assure you the birds ARE going to the rivver just not willingly. it’s 5 in that cases
Birds are animals too yah moron
Birds are animals. What are you people talking about.
Every = a collective
Each = individually
1 rabbit saw 6 elephants = 1rabbit
Every elephant saw 2 monkeys = 2 monkeys
Every monkey held 1 parrot = 1 parrot
Answer = 4 animals
FINALLY!!!! The ONLY correct answer.
It says ‘going towards the river’ which would be 4… 2 monkeys and 2 parrots. Or just two monkeys if parrots aren’t classed as animals. It’s in the wording!
I agree! All about the wording
A bird is still an animal although not a mammal.
It’s 25 1 rabbit 12 monkeys and 12 parrots
hands means two so the monkeys could have a parrot in each hand.
Birds are animals
A bird is not a “mammal”, but is 100% an animal.
The bird group is one of six basic animal groups…
One rabbit saw 6 elephants while going towards River. 1 rabbit
Every elephant saw 2 monkeys are going toward river. 12 monkeys
And Every monkey holds one parrot in their hands. 12 parrots
Every elephant saw 2 monkeys
The answer is simple 25 animal
The question was Now tell us how many animals are going towards river
25 this should not be a debate people come on
The five most well known classes of vertebrates (animals with backbones) are mammals, birds, fish, reptiles, amphibians. They are all part of the phylum chordata — I remember “chordata” by thinking of spinal chord. There are also a lot of animals without backbones.
So yes morons…animals ARE birds.
Reptiles are animals. Fish are animals. Birds are animals. Parrots are animals.
Looks like a lot of people needs to go back to school lmao
Parrot is an animal – it may not be a mammal or a fish – but it is an animal!
If you are including Parrots as Animals then the Answer is 4. As the two Monkeys are holding the same Parrot. so only one Parrot.
I was so confident in my answer of ‘5’ and then this blew my mind! I believe you are correct. (and yes of course parrots are animals. I come from a family of scientists and they laughed so hard at some of the comments)
Parrots (BIRDS) are animals. They are not mammals!!! Where the hell do you people get this information. Never-mind, The first sentence gives you the answer. ONE. The Rabbit. It reads he “SAW” these animals “WHILE GOING to the river, it does not say they were going to the river. Since we can infer that the rabbit is the one going to the river, as the sentence doesn’t say, a rabbit saw other animals as “they were all” going to the river. It is a trick question.
Sorry was distracted by animal v. mammal caveat. Didn’t remember seeing the 2nd sentence saying the monkey’s were headed to the river, after going on that parrot tangent haha.
1 Rabbit
0 Elephants
2 Monkeys we cannot conclude every/each [synonymous] without implying that all individually encountered their own unique set of monkeys.
Every (collectively) saw two
Each (individually) saw two (still doesn’t imply whether it was the same two or a unique pair)
As to correctly imply that would be to say. Each/Every elephant saw a unique pair of monkey.
and finally 2 parrots.
5 animals is the correct answer.
Base answer…5. 1 rabbit, 2 monkeys, 2 parrots (answer asks for ANIMALS…not mammals. google “Are birds animals” if you aren’t sure if they’re animals. birds are one of the six basic ANIMAL groups). But w/ what English words mean, the max answer could also be 19. 1 rabbit, 12 monkeys, 6 parrots. Its uses the words “Every elephant” which implies individually, and as it doesn’t say the 6 elephants are in a herd, then each elephant could be alone and could have seen 2 monkeys each. After all, it says “Every monkey has a parrot”, not meaning all the monkeys are holding the same parrot. But that’s kinda overthought and jacked up on logic, so my easy base answer will stay w/ 5.
Parrot is an animal. Just as a human is an animal. Look in a dictionary before you type.
Ahh but it doesnt say that the monkeys are holding a different parrot just that each hold a parrot in their hand. They could be holding one parrot between the two monkeys. So then the answer is 4
Birds are animals. They may not be classified as a mammal but they are still an animal
Your an animal. Look it up. So is the parrot. All living things are classified into 5 kingdoms – animalia, plantae, fungi, protista, and monera. If you don’t think that you are an animal then you must be a plant, a fungus, eukaryotic organisms, or bacteria.
A parrot is an animal actually…..is a snake an animal or is it a reptile…is a lion an animal or is it a mammal, etc
Birds are not mammals (they don’t have mammary glands) nor reptiles (they are not cold blooded), but instead belong in a grouping all their own. The bird group is one of six basic animal groups, with the others being amphibians, fish, invertebrates,mammals and reptiles
birds are animals.
The bird group is one of six basic animal groups, with the others being amphibians, fish, invertebrates,mammals and reptiles.
Are you being serious???? It’s still an animal ?
It says how many are going “towards” the river, not “to” so it would be 4!… 2 monkeys + 2 parrots are going “towards” the river! The rabbit is going “to” the river
A bird is a type of animal. Lol
I don’t think I can handle one more moron saying a bird isn’t an animal! How thick are some people!!! Answer is 5.
READ IT there isn’t a bird in each hand!!! Monkeys are holding with hands! Elephants are not going anywhere!!! Gggrrr
It doesn’t matter whether a parrot is classed as an animal are not! The parrots are not going towards the river anyway, they are being carried towards the river!
Hence the answer is 3 (1 rabbit, 2 monkeys)
Birds are one of six animal groups. Therefore a Parrot IS an animal. ?
Birds are still animals… If it’s not human and it’s not a micro organism then it’s an animal.
Isn’t a bird an animal?
“Animalia” is a kingdom. Under that fall birds, mammals, reptiles, amphibians, fish, insects and even invertebrates.
Of course it’s an animal
We are animals lol
Exactly. Who doesn’t know their math or English. Lol. The first answer should have the parrots in it so that would be 5. The second equation……wait. There is no second equation. Lol.
A bird is an animal. As are fish, reptiles, mammals etc.
They belong to the vertebrates class of animals (animals with backbones)
Sasha carried or not they are still going towards the river!!! So when your traveling in a car do you not consider yourself to be going towards anything coz your being taken? Omg what has happened to some people’s education
2 LOL read the question properly >>How many animals going >>Towards
Using that logic, the rabbit, elephants and the monkeys are not animals. They are mammals. So the answer would be 0.
Birds are animals‼️
1 Rabbit 2 Monkeys. Monkey has 2 hands, so parrot in each hand. 4 parrots. Therefore 1 rabbit 2 monkeys and 4 parrots = 7 animals.
Birds are indeed animals. They are not mammals, but they ARE animals. Even worms are animals, invertebrate animals.
4 parrots. One parrot in EACH monkey hand.
Technically it is…birds are definitely part of the animal kingdom.
Animal, vegtable, mineral.
Its not a vegtable or mineral…
stupid cunts !!! Parrots are fucking Birds. BIRDS ARE FUCKING ANIMAL STUPID SHIT !!! Than fish are not an animal aswell ??
Birds are an animal specie. For God’s sake!!!
First things first.. there is no such sentence using “every elephants saw” or “every monkey holds” it should be “each”.. birds is an animal.. so to conclude the animals that is going to or towards the river is the 1 rabbit, 2 monkeys and since each of the monkeys is holding 1 parrot so its 2 parrot.. 1+2+2 = 5
Birds are animals….
So what is it then??
1 rabbit go to the river saw 6 elephants = 1
Every Elephant means every elephant saw 2 monkeys going towards river = 6 x 2 = 12
Every monkey holds 1 parrot = 12 x 1 = 12
Hence, 1 + 12 + 12 = 25 ?
Absent the word they. Good approach
Exactly.
How do we know the 2 monkeys weren’t holding the same parrot each with both hands? If so the answer could be minus all parrots but 1.
It’s either a plant or an animal…flora or fauna. I don’t believe a parrot is a plant.
Looks to me like the monkeys are holding the same parrot in ‘their hands’
Do for me its 4
Rabbit, 2 monkeys and a parrot (5 extra parrot at best)
My answer is either 2 or 13 .. 2 – rabbit and monkey .. 13 – 1 rabbit and 12 monkey ..
1 rabbit saw 6 elephants while going to the river .. so only rabbit is going to the river
every elephants saw 2 monkey then 6×2 = 12 monkey
every monkey holds 1 parrot in their hands .. so parrot is not going towards the river..
your 3 statement is wrong. that’s like me saying the sisters each have 1 brother. how many brothers are there?
ask each elephants how many monkeys they saw and they’ll say because they all saw the same two monkeys
Birds are part of the animal kingdom. I study this in science.
Unfortunately, despite being it’s own group (birds), the group is considered 1 of 6 “animal” groups
31 bitch
Wrong ans bec parrot is not animal
The answer is 25 or 5 depending on if the elephants saw the same 2 monkeys or different ones each. Birds are animals for anyone who actually needs to ask that question birds are one of 6 different types of animals birds amphibians, fish, invertebrates,mammals and reptiles. This is basic stuff guys
A bird is an animal
What about the spelling of school….
It is not two monkeys because 6 ELEPHANTS saw 2 monkeys each
Birds are members of the animals kingdom, but they are not mammals.
Dum dum give me gum gum
The question asked how many animal are going “Towards” the river. Only means that due to the way the question was worded there could only be 2 animals going towards the river and that would be the monkeys. Not the 1 rabbits that was going “To” the river or the Parrots that were “in the monkeys hands” if you pay attention to details.

So yes, the bird is an animal.
so, birds aren’t animals? Huh… guess they were rock parrots
Ummm…Yes they are.Birds are neither mammals (they don’t have mammary glands) nor reptiles (they are not cold blooded), but instead belong in a grouping all their own. The bird group is one of six basic animal groups, with the others being amphibians, fish, invertebrates,mammals and reptiles.
wrong it is a animal
So at first I got 5 but then when I read it again it said that they “saw” them going and the question asked how many “are going” so I got that 0 ARE going.
tang-ina mo!! bobo!! animal ka gago!!
Good we have same answer
Everyone. Please read it does not say the rabbit went towards the river it says went to the river. The only animals described as going towards the river is the monkeys. The birds, it doesn’t matter if they are animals or not because it never described them as going towards the river it speaks of them being in the monkeys hand. The focus is “Towards” not “To”, not “With”, not ” Seeing, Looking, or Watching” the focus is ” Going Towards” the river thereforethe monkeys were the only ones detailed as doing such. Therefore you have the battle or English V/S Mathematics.
Its still an animal. Its not a mamal
People that think parrots are not animals are morons,ever heard of a game called animal,vegetable or mineral.Maybe you people are thinking of a carrot instead of parrot.
You guys are a cluster fuck of idiots, morons, and retards. 1 rabbit saw 6 elephants while it was going towards the river (1 rabbit going towards the river). Every elephant saw 2 monkeys going to the river. Be aware that you can’t go to the river if your not moving towards it. Towards- in the direction of… (the 6 elephants aren’t going anywhere. They don’t travel alone, they travel in herds. They are together standing still. Every one (6) saw the same 2 fucking monkeys). So, that’s 2 monkeys going towards the river. Every monkey holds 1 parrot in their hands (the monkeys are holding 1 parrot with both hands, not each of their hands = 2 hands with 1 parrot). 2 parrots are going with the 2 monkeys towards the river. Yes, like it or not they are going too. Now 1 rabbit, 2 monkeys, and 2 parrots going towards the river = 5 fucking animals going towards the river. This is the only answer. There can’t be 2. And yes u brainless mitochondria, parrots are indeed animals. You must be your father’s brother to have such a thought. Your welcome. Glad I could help
24 animals towards the river.
Conclusion….
The rabbit just saw a 6 elephants while each elephants saw 2 monkeys ( 6×2=12)
So.there’s a 12 monkeys towards the river while each monkey holds a 1 parrot in their hands (12+12=24)
Birds are animals. They’re just not mammals.
Birds are neither mammals (they don’t have mammary glands) nor reptiles (they are not cold blooded), but instead belong in a grouping all their own. The bird group is one of six basic animal groups, with the others being amphibians, fish, invertebrates,mammals and reptiles.
Answer is 4. Read the question carefully, it say EVERY monkey hold 1 parrot, they r holding the same parrot together! Just like EVERY elephant saw 2 monkey, its the same monkey! So 1 rabbit, 2 monkey, 1 parrot
6 elephants saw the same 2 monkeys… so there were only ever two monkeys.
Birds are neither mammals (they don’t have mammary glands) nor reptiles (they are not cold blooded), but instead belong in a grouping all their own. The bird group is one of six basic animal groups, with the others being amphibians, fish, invertebrates,mammals and reptiles.
A rabbit saw 6 elephants while going to the river.
Therefor, just the rabbit was going to the river. 1
Each elephant saw 2 monkeys going to the river. There were 6 elephants. 6 x 2 = 12
Elephants only saw the monkeys going towards the river.
Each monkey held a parrot in their hands. There were 12 monkeys. 12
1 + 12 + 12 = 25
Birds are animals, they aren’t mammals.
all are animals ok?
so 12 monkeys + 12 parrot +1 rabbit = 25 animals towards to the river
that why this is a “puzzle”. they wrote it that way to trick your mind. Birds are animals. Guess your always on Science classes..
Any living thing is an animal. Animal definition; a living organism that feeds on organic matter, typically having specialized sense organs and nervous system and able to respond rapidly to stimuli.
What planet are you people on? A parrot is an animal! Hell a spider is an animal! They are not Mammals but they definitely are ANIMALS! Get a dictionary morons!
every monkey holds one parrot in their hands so this can be both their hands have parrot.
A bird is an animals its not a human nor allien
The parrot is a medium sized group of birds, with the parrot being best known for it’s extremely brightly coloured feathers, and the ability of some parrot species to talk, as these species of parrots are able to mimic sounds made by other animals such as humans.
a parrot is not a animal its a bird
duuuuuuuuuhhhhhhhh
You see, you could go all technical saying only 4 because the question asks ‘How many animals are going TOWARDS the river?’ and the rabbit is going TO the river 😛
The fastest animal on the planet (albeit for a very short time) is the rabbit that the peregrine falcon is chasing. ?
You could argue that the answer is 5 if the GROUP of 6 elephants saw 2 monkeys going to the river, with each monkey carrying a parrot = 2 monkeys + 2 parrots + the rabbit = 5 animals going to the river
I see it as 1 rabbit, 6 elephants, 2 monkeys, because all 6 elephants saw the same 2 monkeys, and 4 parrots making that 13 animals because lets face it the average person will lump the bird in with the term animal.
The rabbit was not going to the ‘river’, it was going to a place called ‘River’, notice the capitalized word making it a proper noun
Dis is the correct answer
The animal kingdom contains birds, mammals, reptiles, amphibians, fish, insects and even invertebrates. Therefore a Parrot is infact an animal.
A bird is an animal
Birds are animals !
and birds are animals, Google is your friend.
because THEY are idiots too.
Animals have a vertabray birds do too so class as animal.
Look up how many animal kingdoms there are
as per grammer.. its 13 1rabbit n 12 monkey.. its not 3 or 25.. or u are all wrong..
parrot is a bird n will remain bird.. 13 is true n correct answer.
if the ansewr 3 was so easy why u people are grabbing hairs n pulilng it off.. its not that simple.. the answer is not 3. its not 25
A Bird is a winged animal you derp. ?
4 animals are going towards the river. The rabbit it going to the river, the destination. the 2 monkeys carrying 1 parrot each, are going towards the river, towards being direction.
Sorry for the typos…fat fingers little keyboard. LOL
You are all wrong. The puzzle is grammatically wrong. It can be 1 rabbit saw 6 elephants while IT WAS going to the river or it can be 1 rabbit saw 6 elephants while THEY WERE going to the river. The predicate is missing who is going to the river
The five most well known classes of vertebrates (animals with backbones) are mammals, birds, fish, reptiles, amphibians.
They are birds but birds are also animals
…and that is the answer: 0. The question was not ‘How many animals CAN WE ASSUME going towards the river?” If we do make assumptions, the answer can include the rabbit (if it went TO the river, probably it was going TOWARDS the river as well), the elephants (because the elephants could be visiting the river as well), the monkeys (because the elephants SAW them, and elephants were probably seeing them alright, why wouldn’t they), and even the parrots, which were not walking or flying at all, but being brought by the monkeys, but heck, the elephants SAW them in the hands of the monkeys, so we can probably safely say that the parrots were going toward the river as well.
If you say anything other than 2, you’re wrong. Going to and towards are completely different so the rabbit is out. It doesn’t say where the elephants are going so they’re out. It says every elephant not each, so as a group they saw 2 not 12. It also doesn’t say where the parrots are going, so for all you know the parrots could fly off before they go towards the river. That only leaves the 2 monkeys going towards the river. As for the people saying that parrots are birds and not animals, everything that isn’t plant life is an animal. We’re all animals.
Use r all morons!! What if the parrots fled before they got to the river, huh? Didn’t think did use? Nah lmfao
Mammals, birds, reptiles and amphibians – and invertebrates as well – are members of the Animal Kingdom (as opposed to Plants, fungi, bacteria, etc.).
Another option. Answer could be 4. If you’re going with every elephant saw 2 monkeys meaning it could be the same monkey, then every monkey holds 1 parrot could also be the same parrot they are holding. Every was used in both cases. No ‘each’ was used.
You’re all geniuses. It’s 25!!!!!
Every elephant saw 2 monkeys. 6 elephants and each elephant sees 2 monkeys = 12 monkeys, 12 monkeys plus 12 parrots = 24 plus the rabbit = 25. Rabbit counts because to go to the river is to go towards it, you aren’t going away from the river to get to the river. Birds are animals!! Humans are animals!! I think you’re getting confused with mammals.
Except it doesn’t say EACH monkey, it says EVERY monkey.
So why doesn’t your each/every argument apply to the monkeys as it does to the elephants? Every monkey, as a group, is holding ONE parrot. And just because the parrot may choose at some point in the future to fly in a different direction (assuming it’s able) doesn’t change the fact that it is, at the specific time in question, traveling in the monkeys’ hands toward the river.
Also, please explain how it’s possible for the rabbit to go TO the river unless it goes TOWARD the river.
The only logical answer, barring absurdity, is 4.
Both wrong. The only logical answer is 4.
Not only it another option, but it’s the only correct one.
The World is falling apart and you’re arguing over Birds and Animals …. Hahaha
There is no EACH in the paragraph
How many animals are going towards the river? 4.
1 rabbit, 2 monkeys holding 1parrot.
A bird is an animal, just like Jellyfish and platypus
Great answer…. I agree!
You give detailed reasoning for why there are two monkeys but no reasoning as to why there are two parrots instead of the one that’s listed…
How can you go TO the river if you don’t go TOWARDS the river? Kind of impossible…
Nobody seems to notice that the word “saw”” is past tense. The question states ARE GOING.
Maby no animal at all in presejnt time.
It says EVERY monkey holds 1 parrot… It’s only 1 parrot not 2…that’s 4 animals going toward the river
The path going to the river can meander, and may not always point towards the river. The birds aren’t, themselves, doing anything; they’re sitting still. The elephants are also standing still; seeing doesn’t mean they’re moving. The rabbit “saw” (past tense), while the question asks “are going” (present tense), so not currently going. The answer is two. “2 monkeys are going toward” the river.
But they were holding parrots, so they were going towards the river as well, though not by choice.
A bird is an animal. It is not a mammal.
Firstly, the question almost definitley has mistakes. Look on the web and you will see elsewhere the question says the rabbit is going towards the river. Not “to”. Not “River” and includes the word “the”. Second let me talk about ‘animals’. By the scientific definition, parrots are animals as often quoted here. But there is an old English usage whereby there are 3 main categories: birds, fish and animals. When I was a child this is what I and all my fellow pupils were taught even at school. At senior school the scientific definition was taught. The question has ambiguities like this. If the rabbit is going “to” the river, it is probably going towards the river rather than by a circuitous route but only on probability and not defnitely.Finally, as “every” here means ‘the group’, then I believe the answer is 4 i.e. 1 rabbit + 2 monkeys + 1 parrot assuming the parrot is regarded as an animal. Finally, I find it amusing that people who fail to spell or use grammar correctly are spouting forth about the meaning of words!
this is correct because the monkeys are only holding 1 parrot
To and towards have different meanings. The rabbit was going “to” the river and saw 6 elephants. The elephants each saw 2 monkeys (could be the same 2 monkeys or 12 monkeys in all) going “towards” the river. The monkeys each carry 1 bird. So it is the question is How many animals are going “towards” the river. The elephants could all be standing still as the rabbit was going “to” the river. The monkeys were going “towards” the river carrying 1 bird. So the answer is either 4 or 24. 2 monkeys and 2 birds or 12 monkeys and 12 birds.
4 or 24? Dont you mean 5 or 25. The rabbit was going to the river too
and the final answer is?
Case4: it is given as 1 rabbit while going to river saw 6 elephants…… So it may also be considered that…. The rabbit is stationary whereas the elephants are going… And rabbit saw them going to river….
One rabbit, two monkeys, and one parrot. The answer is FOUR.
Is it Answer is correct
No because it don’t say the rabbit was going it says the rabbit was watching so 6 +12+12=30
3 is the correct answer …its make sense
birds are animals
for me…the answer is 4.
1 rabbit, two monkeys and 1 parrot.
every monkey holds 1 parrot in their hands.
so only one parrot
No,only one animal is going towards the river.
Other animals where seen by the rabbit.
So, one is the answer
Of course a parrot is an animal:
Kingdom: Animalia (That’s Latin for “Animal”)
Phylum: Chordata
Class: Aves (Latin for “bird”)
Clade: Psittacopasserae
Order: Psittaciformes
The only place in this that’s says any animal is going TOWARDS the river is the 2 monkeys
there are many different animal classes and every animal in the world belongs to one of them. The five most well known classes of vertebrates (animals with backbones) are mammals, birds, fish, reptiles, amphibians. They are all part of the phylum chordata
In classical thinking there are animals, minerals, and vegetables, and of the living entities – only Animals and Vegetables (plantlife) are living beings. Birds are animals. Thus:
The answer is 4. 1 rabbit, and 2 monkeys = 3, but ‘every monkey hold’s 1 parrot in their hands’. Literally this imply’s 1 parrot being held for a total of 4 animals. It does not imply that every elephants see’s two different monkeys as it does not imply that every monkey is holding different parrots.
All of you guys are funny. I love it!
*definitively ?
” There seems to be no signs of intelligent life anywhere. ”
Buzz Lightyear
There are five main groups of living things*. These groups are called ‘kingdoms’. They are: Monerans, Protists, Fungi, Plants and Animals.
*In America, the system is slightly different, and Monera are split into two groups: Archaea and Bacteria. So don’t forget, in the USA there are six kingdoms!
A bird certainly isn’t a plant or a fungus. Monerans and protists are very small things like bacteria and some algae. That doesn’t sound very bird-like either!
That means the only kingdom left for a bird is the animal kingdom!
1 – The rabbit
1st scenario:
1 rabbit
2 monkeys
4 parrots, since monkeys have two hands.
Total = 7
2nd scenario:
1 rabbit
12 monkeys
24 parrots, 12 parrots in right hands and 12 in anothers.
Total = 37
wow!
The correct answer is 0. The “Rabbit” refers to a the person dreaming while sleeping. He dreamed that he was walking to school. He saw some elephants. (Possibly working adults as they look bigger than the tiny student that he was). He continued walking and saw some monkeys. (Kids in lower grade than he was, licking ice creams). Then he woke up because his alarm went off and he missed school. That’s the reason why he spelled school as SHCOOL.
Does not say the elephants are going toward the river???
What do you mean a parrot is not an animal?If its not an animal what is it?And don’t you dare say bird
None, because the tenses are different. It’s also an English language question. The numbers are there to misguide. Read it again and you’ll see that the story happened in the past, but the question is ‘how many animals ARE GOING towards the river, not how many animals WERE going.
Birds are animals.. google it.
Birds are a classification of animals… just like mammals, reptiles, fish etc
Don’t give a toss about animal/bird argument, gimmie some of that dank shit the rabbit been smoking, I’ll agree with whatever you say 🙂
I say 4 total – If every elephant is a collective group of one, then so is every monkey. Therefore there is 1 rabbit, 2 monkeys and they have 1 parrot for 4 total.
It doesn’t say each monkey has a parrot, but rather every monkey.
Bird is not an animal? It is a living thing and it is not a vegetation and it is not a fungus and it is not a virus or a germ, so it must be an animal.
I would agree that not everyone going towards is necessarily going TO . . . but I would also argue that everyone going TO is certainly going TOWARDS as well or they would never get TO. Since the question asks how many are going. Towards, it would have to include the rabbit going to.
Parrots were taken
So it could be 3 total as one answer
What do you mean “the average person will lump the bird in with the term animal?”
Only an idiot WOULDN’T include the bird as an animal.
Actually, to be more specific, the average person WOULDN’T “lump the bird in with the term animal” because, on average, people are idiots.
Not all animals are birds, but all birds ARE animals.
Birds are animals lol
Birds are a recognized animal kingdom. They are an animal, they are not a mammal.
Parrots are considered animals. The five most well known classes of vertebrates (animals with backbones) are mammals, birds, fish, reptiles, amphibians. They are all part of the phylum chordata — I remember “chordata” by thinking of spinal chord.
if it has a vertebrae then it is n animal. we have to assume all 6 elephants saw the same 2 monkeys each with a parrot so the answer would be 5 – 1 rabbit, 2 monkeys & 2 parrots.
The answer is 4!
Note the difference between TO and TOWARDS:
TO – the destination is surely the river
TOWARDS – the direction is the river but it is not sure whether it is the destination or not, (say the river is in the west and the walk is to the west but not the river)
The question states which animals are going TOWARDS the river… the rabbit is NOT going TOWARDS the river… he is only going TO the river. The rabbit doesn’t count. It does not state the parrots are going TOWARDS the river, just that they are in the monkeys hands. The answer is 2. 2 animals are going TOWARDS the river.
25
Birds are animals. I think you’re confused with mammals.
1 is the only answer you can give with certainty given the facts as stated. All other answers rely on assumption. Prove me wrong.
Well if not, it’s either vegetable or mineral, lol. Could you be confusing animal with mammal?
they say it’s 5 BUT the rabbit is going to the river the monkeys and birds are going towards the river not saying they going to the river for sure 4
A bird is an animal. We have the following kingdoms: plant, animal, fungi, Protista, archaea, and bacteria. If birds are not animals, pray tell, into which kingdom do they fall.
I would say 3. The question asks how many animals are going towards the river. There is a difference between to and towards so the 1 rabbit can be eliminated. The 6 elephants were not going anywhere so eliminate them too. The 2 monkeys were going towards the river and although the question did not state that the 1 parrot was going anywhere; if the 2 monkeys are holding it then clearly it must be going with the monkeys since the monkeys did not stop on the way. Most persons are saying that there are 2 parrots but, the question said 1 and also there is a difference between every and each. (if 40 people are standing at a gate and 2 cars passed, then every person saw 2 cars passed not 80 cars.) Once again, my answer is 3.
But it says, “ each monkey had 1 parrot so that is definitely 2 parrots.
birds fall under the animal category numnuts
If each elephant saw 2 monkeys, why can’t they all see the same 2? If the 2 monkeys are going down the river in front of the elephants, all the elephants see 2 monkeys.
Birds are most definitely animals
