    This gem came to light during a trivia session over Christmas
    Gaston Aumoitte & Georges Johin won the gold for which sport at the 1900 Olympics? (It helped that they were the only competitors!)

    That was Gurujoe's first post. Maybe he doesn't understand that he should now post a question. Anybody else have a question?

    Wasn't 100% about it. It's more related to the cat family than dog but is actually neither. It does have a mane however.

    Oops meant that in relation to Hyena quote "Not a species of cat"

    Similar yeah but not really the same, aardwolves eat insects and the like; pretty different to other hyenas, but yeah you're right in that theyre in the same family

    Originally named Cairbre, and born in Dublin in 1919, what did this lion become famous for? He was actually renamed and known differently in his famous role. Bonus point if you can name him too!;)
