Kudos to Simon for getting the answer to this one.
The riddle was:
存在するかどうか分からない動物は何でしょうか？
Answer
いるか (dolphin)
This one doesn't translate so nicely into English, but it roughly asks: "What animal do we not know if it exists or not?"
The answer comes from the fact that the verb いる (iru) can mean "to exist" (for living things) and か (ka) is question-marking particle. So いるか can mean "Does it exist?" but is also the word for "dolphin" in Japanese.
