This page is dedicated to the scientific study and evaluation of the very rare North American canine known in local dialect as, the Trout. Taxonomically, we know it as the Canis Salmonidae. These rare photographs and this quiz are brought to you by the Trout Conservation Society in an attempt to promote greater awareness and understanding of this misunderstood species.

The following quiz will test your knowledge of the Trout. You may keep your own score because it's easier than waiting for a Javascript to load. Plus, here's a hint: All the answers are (d).
