7. This is hilarious! At The Villages it was lion, giraffe, bear, and shark.

Horrifying. Tragic for the nation, but nevertheless hilarious.

As I posted in re: that other appearance:

Sounds like the Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA). And he didn't even report the animals correctly.

No sharks.

According to AI (Gemini)

No standard version of the Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA) includes a lion, giraffe, bear, and shark in a single test.

The standard naming section in the most common versions of the MoCA (such as Versions 7.1, 8.1, and 8.2) uses the following three animals: Lion Rhinoceros Camel

Animal Variations in Other Versions:

While the "Lion, Rhino, Camel" set is the standard, some alternate versions or older, less-common versions have featured different animals to prevent practice effects. For instance, one version has been known to use a giraffe, bear, and hippopotamus.

Shark: A shark is not typically found on standard MoCA tests.

Elephant: Some variations, notably one shown in a 2020 news report, have included an elephant instead of a rhino.
