quiz question correction and question on modal

Hi, could you correct these?

1, What is its habitat?
2. What kind of noise does it make when it is hungry?
3. Does it howl at night?
4. Can we raise it as a pet?
5. How long does it usually live?
6. If we need to buy it from someone, are we able to buy it easily?

Sorry but I think I saw it somewhere that the modal 'could' and the phrase 'be able to' can be used in place of each other with little or no difference. Does 'be able to' indicate ability?
