A trick question for someone who knows [[biology]] is: "If a [[panda]] is a carnivore, then what is a [[koala]]?" Because a koala eats [[eucalyptus]] leaves, many people will fall into the trap and answer "[[herbivore]]", which is the wrong answer. The trick is that a panda does ''not'' eat meat. So, for a panda to be "a carnivore," the word must be being used in the sense of "order carnivora," and the right answer is "[[marsupial]]." | A trick question for someone who knows [[biology]] is: "If a [[panda]] is a carnivore, then what is a [[koala]]?"
