loading . . . Skeleton Trivia for Wednesday, 2025-08-06 Hiya Skeleton Crew,
Welcome back to the trivias! It’s my first time sendin out an email from this Ghost website I set up, so lemme know at [email protected] if anything funky’s goin on.1
I've also gotta apologize that these trivias are two days later than I promised on Friday! I ran into some technical difficulties with the new setup, oops. I might try & make up the missing days at some point? Or maybe we’ll just have a slightly abbreviated August. I dunno!! I’ll keep youse guys posted.
But before we do August’s trivias, we gotta check out how the June trivias shook out!
## June Trivia recap
Who are the mateys??
**Starbuck tier** _(a.k.a. First mates, 50+ points)_

It looks like the June trivias maybe played a li’l too hard?!? My goal’s to have some representation ’cross ALL the matey tiers, so it looks like I might hafta do a li’l recalibration this month? I dunno, we’ll figure it out!
In the meantime, let’s have a round for the mateys!!
## Back to our regularly scheduled programming
Ha, these big headings are kinda fun, don’tcha think?
## Answers to last time
* The St. Louis Bread Company changed its name to **Panera** , though it still uses the old name in & around its original stompin grounds (i.e. the St. Louis metro area).
* Add a _T_ to Panera & ya get **Pantera** , the band that helped popularize groove metal.
## Today’s Trivias
## Trivia 1
Ya could add an _H_ to Pantera to get _Panthera_ , the genus of that includes tigers, leopards, snow leopards, lions, & **what other big cat** that’s the only _Panthera_ species native to the Americas? The Aztecs called this animal the _ocelotl_ —which is honestly kinda confusin, because the animal we call an “ocelot” nowadays is actually a DIFFERENT big cat that’s part of a whole ’nother genus altogether!2
* * *
## Trivia 2
**What are these things?:**
They’re these toys that’re made by a China-based retailer called Pop Mart, & I’m led to understand that they’re all the rage these days.

1 In particular, lemme know if ya unsubscribed at some point in recent history but’re still receivin these emails. That’s my bad & I’ll make sure ya get properly unsubscribed FOR REALS this time ’round.
2 That genus bein _Leopardus_ —which, if you’re keepin track, is a genus that doesn’t contain leopards OR snow leopards! Ah jeez, I dunno youse guys, sometimes I think these friggin taxonomists are deliberately messing with us!! https://www.skeletontrivia.com/skeleton-trivia-for-monday-2025-08-05/
