A Real Blue Blood!

If I were to bleed from a wound or two,
You'd note in amazement, my blood is blue.
I'm found as a fossil in ancient stone,
Yet living today, I'm almost a clone.
My eyes will adjust a great many fold,
To see by the moonlight, who I can hold.
If I could tell my mate, I would say it is true,
These wonderful eyes are only for you.
I'm one of the last to die from pollution,
A living exception to evolution.

Odd Two Out

In this teaser, you have to find the odd ones out in the groups of words. BUT WAIT! There's a catch. Each group of words has TWO words which do not belong. Can you find them both?

EXAMPLE:

Lily - Jane - Tulip - Rose

Jane does not belong as it's the only one which is not a flower.

Tulip also does not belong because it's the only one which is not a girl's name.

You're on your own for the rest!

2. Cat - Sword - Hamster - Dog

3. Prince - Double - Queen - King
