I will post a riddle and the person who answers correctly gets Karma and posts the next riddle. You can source the riddle from anywhere you like.

Give hints as you see fit..

(However)

Do your best to not Google for answers, use your brain and wit...

================================================

Riddle # 1

At large in a pond, attract mass in the ring
Find me in circus, see me in the zoo
People think I'm your average pink thing
Yet we know that's not exactly true
When it comes to balancing
You know whom to bestow the crown to

flamingo

KatMitchell · 11-02-2009

Correct...!!! The next one is all yours... K on the way..

Answer

A flamingo.

Many are pink, but healthier flamingos should be red, showing that they are not famished (have enough carotenic food) and bills (baby flamingos) are white.

The one in the circus is the ring/hoop that is on fire where trained animals (usually lions) do tricks by jumping in/through.

---> Flaming "O"

Either way, both flamingos and the circus trick show exceptionally good balance. The bird sleeps on one leg to preserve body heat, and you need to practice hard and be really skilled to (train animals to) do the tricks.

I am a 6 letter word.
Letters 6-5-2 spell out a drink.
Letters 4-5-2-3 spell out a fruit.
Letters 1-2-6 spell out a pet.
Letters 3-2-6 spell out a pest, which often gets eaten by 1-2-6.
What am I?

Sorry, giving Tea as the drink would have made it too easy.

RIDDLE # 4

I was born in Italy then I moved to France
I am only half figured so I cannot dance
I keep my right hand snug over my left wrist
I have an enigmatic smile though I cannot kiss
If you measure my height I'm only seventy seven
I have an Oscar thanks to Livingston and Evans
I lived with Napoleon but that was not fun
Cole put me on the Billboard eight weeks number one

Who am I?
