Benin on Jeopardy!

"Benin There" was a category on Jeopardy! last night. Do you know the answers?

$800
Majestic elephants & this scavenger, Canis Aureus, share W National Park, named for the shape of bends of the Niger River

$1000
If a tree grows in Benin, it might be the karite, which produces the skin restorer called “shea” this

$600
Vodun, still the faith of many in Benin, came from the area to the Western hemisphere, where we call it this

$400

On a December morning, your sinuses may be irritated by a harmattan, this, but it only lasts until March

They ran out of time for the $200 question.

If you want to watch the episode yourself, here is the YouTube video:

  1. Thanks for the link! Unfortunately, I did not learn those answers when I was in Benin. I did see a Karite tree. Very impressive!
