Let’s go through the question again.
1 rabbit saw 6 elephants while going to the river. – Hence, 1 animal (rabbit) is going towards the river.
Every elephant saw 2 monkeys going towards the river. – This is the tricky part, from the sentence it seems to imply each of the 6 elephants saw 2 monkeys going towards the river, hence logically will be 6 x 2 = 12 animals (monkeys) going towards the river.
However, the statement does not explicitly mention that “Every elephant saw 2 DIFFERENT monkeys…”, hence implicit rules apply and infer that the 2 monkeys are the same.
Hence, correct answer is that every elephant saw 2 monkeys, and by inference, the 2 monkeys are the same, hence there exists only 2 monkeys which are going towards the river !! ??
Finally, every monkey holds 1 parrot in their hands. – Hence, 2 parrots are going towards the river.
So in total, 1 rabbit, 2 monkeys and 2 parrots (5 animals) are going towards the river.

"1 rabbit. 12 monkeys. 24 parrots. If they elephants were going the other way.
Why 12 monkeys? Six elephants could all have seen the same two monkeys. "
Yes. I wrote that just above you. The writing is ambiguous. |

"5
Everyone’s entitled to an opinion but opinions other than 5 are wrong 
I lime it but wrong.."
It’s an old trick question
There’s 1 rabbit
2 monkeys
2 parrots
The number of elephants is irrelevant
10,000 elephants could of seen 2 monkeys going to the river, it’s still only 2 monkeys. |

Nope, that’s the point of this question, the number of elephants is irrelevant. It’s asking how many animals we’re going to the river. The elephants weren’t. But they saw two monkeys going.

Let’s go through the question again.
1 rabbit saw 6 elephants while going to the river. – Hence, 1 animal (rabbit) is going towards the river.
Every elephant saw 2 monkeys going towards the river. – This is the tricky part, from the sentence it seems to imply each of the 6 elephants saw 2 monkeys going towards the river, hence logically will be 6 x 2 = 12 animals (monkeys) going towards the river.
However, the statement does not explicitly mention that “Every elephant saw 2 DIFFERENT monkeys…”, hence implicit rules apply and infer that the 2 monkeys are the same.
Hence, correct answer is that every elephant saw 2 monkeys, and by inference, the 2 monkeys are the same, hence there exists only 2 monkeys which are going towards the river !! ??
Finally, every monkey holds 1 parrot in their hands. – Hence, 2 parrots are going towards the river.
So in total, 1 rabbit, 2 monkeys and 2 parrots (5 animals) are going towards the river.

Doesn’t matter which colour, just a pair of the same colour.
Actually they are not colours, just shades. So need to put my brain in gear. |

"Bit like the question: if you had 27 black socks: and 13 white socks in a bag.
How many socks would you need to pull our (eyes closed) to ensure you had a pair?
2
Wow got got that so wrong, you have me totally there.
I should have said, ‘off the same colour’
Hangs one head on shame....
3
Yes but all the white socks coukd be at the bottom so it would be 28 lol..

"What's a queation?
I assumed it's a modern portmanteau word for question and equation. I could be wrong as I don't really speak modern* and yoof.
*See my understanding of "towards" above. "
We bastardise the 'where's it to?' in this neck of the woods yet I still contextualised that it meant towards - I mean, you can't get to somewhere without heading in its actual direction. Unless the rabbit was hopping backwards, which would frankly be silly. |

Actually, it is the verb “to be” reference, Korbkzki, Borman. |

It's still towards, even hopping backwards, if that wabbit is going to the river. |

It says “queation” not question so nobody should even be answering......
And the answer is 4 but not for the reason of the rabbit going to and not towards.
Every monkey holds one parrot in their hands - one parrot held by every monkey. Therefore you have 1 rabbit going to the river (which is the same as towards the river as to head to the river you have to go towards it) and 2 monkeys holding 1 parrot which is 4 |

It don't say wear on the jurney the rabbit is.
The rabbit mite be 10 miles away still.
#
Elephants see monkeys going towards the river.
#
This may be miles from the river. With roads going summer els future down.
As far as the elephants are concerned the monkeys are going towards the river cos that's the way thay are hedding.

It's like me in margate saying i sor 2 monkeys going towards London even thow thay may as well be going to Canterbury. But London is in the same direction.
Hope this clears it up for everyone. |

Exactly, even if the river isn't her/his final destination (as in London/Canterbury above) s/he is still going towards.

"We all ready know the rabbit it going to the river but many animals are going towards it x"
In fact, all the animals in the vicinity, not just those in the OP, would head towards the river at some point.

Maybe not the ones that survive by licking the dew off the grass but I've watched enough David Attenborough to know that the river is the gathering point. It can be dangerous but they all want a bit of river.

According to the OP
every elephant in the group ( no matter what size) saw 2 Monkeys " GOING towards the river".. ..
Each monkey had a parrot in their hands... =2
So the answer is 4
However according to google the answer is 5
1 rabbit saw 6 elephants while going to the river. – Hence, 1 animal (rabbit) is going towards the river.
Every elephant saw 2 monkeys going towards the river. – This is the tricky part, from the sentence it seems to imply each of the 6 elephants saw 2 monkeys going towards the river, hence logically will be 6 x 2 = 12 animals (monkeys) going towards the river.
However, the statement does not explicitly mention that “Every elephant saw 2 DIFFERENT monkeys…”, hence implicit rules apply and infer that the 2 monkeys are the same.
Hence, correct answer is that every elephant saw 2 monkeys, and by inference, the 2 monkeys are the same, hence there exists only 2 monkeys which are going towards the river !! ??
Finally, every monkey holds 1 parrot in their hands. – Hence, 2 parrots are going towards the river.
So in total, 1 rabbit, 2 monkeys and 2 parrots (5 animals) are going towards the river. |

What about the natural water springs, or simply... another river  |

How big is your vicinity? Vicinity - near a place. In this case, the river.
