Thanks to Jerry Coyne for posting this link. It's not a quiz from
David Attenborough about nature, but is instead a quiz about David
Attenborough's Nature documentaries.
<http://phenomena.nationalgeographic.com/2016/05/06/the-really-hard-david-attenborough-birthday-quiz/>
There is an alleged really hard quiz, and an alleged really, really
hard quiz. I got 6 right on the first one, 5 on the second. This is
better than Coyne did, but as I said, the quiz is more about how much
one knows about Attenborough nature videos than about nature.
Still, one can learn something interesting just by taking the tests.

the quotes and on the others there are too many scientifically correct
alternatives that it is just guessing.
