Parents outsmarted by their children when it comes to animal knowledge

OnePoll.com found children know more about animals than parents, with 77 per cent of grown-ups admitting they were asked questions by their child they could not answer.
The study found children learn most about animals at schools, followed by TV and books, with 59 per cent also citing parents as a source.
SPANA's survey found 83 per cent of children believe animals should have enough food and water, and 75 per cent say they need a comfy place to rest, with 98 per cent liking animals.
Turning to the internet, parents said 82 per cent have sought answers to children’s animal questions, while nearly half acknowledged their knowledge is inferior to their children’s.
Awareness data show 64 per cent of children said they knew what a working animal is, while SPANA said education programmes aim to inspire respect and safeguard these animals in communities with limited learning opportunities.
