Trivia: Maryland and Virginia’s Assateague Island is famous for what animals?
Zebras
Giraffes
Wild horses
Proboscis monkeys
The correct answer is Wild horses
So why is this answer correct? : Wild horses have roamed 37-mile-long Assateague Island in the Chesapeake Bay for hundreds of years. No one is sure how exactly the horses ended up here, but local legend says that they swam to the island after surviving a shipwreck. Other experts have a somewhat less exciting theory: The horses were brought to Assateague from the mainland to avoid taxation and left there.
