OK... for the next 10 points and the title of King (or Queen) of Whoknewistan...

There is a creature that lives in the ocean, directly related to the elephant, and can even move its upper lip in a manner similar to the elephant's trunk. Name this creature!

Hint: It's also a vegetarian, just like the elephant!

Is it the dugong (or manatee or sea cow - I think they're alternative names for it)?

Drat! I thought this question would cause some problems. Yes, it's the manatee. I prefer to think of it as a mermaid.

Bilbo... next question, please.

Stitchawl
I've always been interested in animals, ever since I was a kid (not in that way, stop sniggering at the back!).

Next question then;

Two sets of 4 answers required. What US states are furthest North, South, East and West? Answers required for all states and for juststhe 48 contiguous states please.

Well... actually, there are three different ways to interpret the four points, so according to one of them, you're correct.

I did check this as you seemed so sure and I'm pretty sure I'm right (although there are conflicting sources out there on t'internet to be fair).

Just for Stitchawl;

Spoiler:
The one you got wrong was the most northerly of the contiguous states. There are sources that say it is Maine, but there is a fairly convincing (to me, anyway) source that states it is somewhere else. I'll post the link to that when somebody gets it right

Wow! That's not the one I thought you were nixing!

Now I'm really confused. I'm gonna go look... so mark me out of this one. I catch up on the next question. But I will say, your question was a good one! There are some surprises there, especially for us USAans!
