The Mantis Shrimp's forelimbs are adapted into fast and powerful striking and spearing appendages, capable of breaking through some glass tanks in large specimens. Do not fuck with Mantis Shrimp.

My cat's breath smells like cat food.

Evidence at an archaeological dig site in Jordan suggests that the Red Fox was an early companion to humans there, as human and vulpine remains appear to be buried with some reverence together. The burial site is over 10,000 years old.

Female spotted hyenas have a fully-functional pseudo-penis. Cats have penile spines on their willies that scrape excess sperm out of the female's vag to ready the female for another male to fuck her, but it causes quite a bit of pain and the female will be extremely hostile if any cat tries mounting her in the time period just after sex. Echidnas have a four-headed penis, and only two heads are erect and functional at a time.

I know a lot about animal dick... Kinda awkward.

Oh and almost all bottlenose dolphins are bisexual. This is because dolphins use sex as a bonding thing between friends and colleagues and such. Kind of like humans-I mean what.

They also have explosive diarrhea.

The extinct Haast's eagle is possibly the most awesome predator that has lived in human history.

Known as the "Tiger of the Skies", Haast's Eagles are one of the only birds to ever be the apex predator of an ecosystem, a distinction they hold mostly because there are no predatory mammals on New Zealand, but also because what the fuck is going to step to a pissed-as-hell mega-raptor so ungodly gigantulous that it's wings blacken the sky and its insanity-causing shrieks presumably caused deafness and incontinence in anything unlucky enough to hear it. Gigantic, feather-covered instruments of God's Unadulterated Fury, Haast's Eagles stood six feet tall, weighed a little over 35 pounds, and had a wingspan of roughly ten feet. These goddamned things were, no exaggeration, the size of hang gliders, tore ass through the densest jungles of New Zealand with the dexterity of a howler monkey, and boasted black, pointy, fuck-off claws that were about the same size as a modern-day Bengal tiger's.
[...]
Moa [an extinct species of flightless nine feet tall ostrich-like birds] were about 15 times the Haast's Eagle's mass, yet this thing could dive-bomb them with enough force to crush their skulls and/or pelvises and/or dicks, and once those poor dumb bastards were immobilized, crippled, and/or de-balled the Haast's Eagle's 1,000 psi of talon crushing might was powerful enough to snap their bones in half.

Bloody overgrown Magpies, remind me to glue some googly eyes onto the back of an ice cream container if I go over there.

Kangaroos sometimes drink with their backs to the water by digging little wells near a watering hole, allowing them to filter
the drinking water and keep an eye out for potential predators at the same time whilst they drink.

Fruit bats are not nocturnal and do not use echolocation. They also spit out all the fruit they eat except the juice and some seeds to keep down the weight for flight.

Cats don't have clavicles. Also, corvids are considered to be the most intelligent birds and among the most intelligent animals (because some can recognise themselves in mirrors).

OH MY GOSH! OTTER FACTS!

1- Sea otters have the densest fur on the planet, having 1 million hairs per square inch on their pelts!

Humans have about 100,000 hairs on their entire head, to put it into perspective.

2-
There was a point in time sea otters were considered legitimately extinct, due to massive over-hunting for their fur.
But one day a miracle happened and a super small group of sea otters was found, now they are growing in numbers once more and almost safe once more! Yay!

IMAGINE. THIS WORLD TODAY ALMOST HAD NO SEA OTTERS. TRULY A DEPRESSING THOUGHT.

3- Sea otters wrap themselves and their babbies in kelp when they sleep, so they don't drift away from their family and friends!

4- There are 13 different species of otters in the world.

5- Otters are carnivores.

6- The largest otters are the Giant Otters. They can grow up to 6 feet long!

7- Antarctica and Australia are the only places in the world without otters. Woe is me.

8- Sea otters help fight global warming!

9- A group of sea otters is called a 'Raft'.

10- Sea otters are the only marine animal to not have any blubber. Slim and sexy until the end, yo.



~Congratulations~ on learning more about otters! You are now further enlightened! Here is an otter video for you as a reward~

Want to learn more? You need only ask your local otter, and they will gladly educate you.

- Sloths descend from the trees to poop. This is because dropping poop from the trees would alert predators to their presence.
- Lions sleep/laze around for ~20 hours a day.
- Pangolins can release a noxious juice from their bums. They can't spray it like a skunk does though.

- Otters are very promiscuous and will have sex with anything. Also science has proven that otters are very cute.

Sucking up to Hewge alert. :V

Bats can't fly if they're on the ground, they have to be able to hang from something first.

The slow loris has a venomous bite

Guess what poachers do to remove this problem? They rip their teeth out. ;^;

- Homosexual necrophilia has been reccorded in ducks, frogmouths, swallows and many other birds

- Up to 70% of sexual activity in giraffes is between members of the same sex

- Dolphins basically are the only animals in which sexual slavery exists: male dolphins herd females and even attack them until they submit to sex.

- Pterosaurs were much better flyers than modern birds, having wings composed of several layers of muscle fibers to control the wing membrane, quadrupedal launch that was more effective and energy saving than bird srunning around to take off, and a much larger flocculus

- Chickens do have penises, which are tiny. Avian clitorises have also been found.

Maned wolves aren't wolves at all, or foxes. It was a name the Portuguese gave them when they first settled in Brazil.

Maned wolves, or kalaks, are not canines in the tuest since belonging to the Canis genus, and it's closest relative is the Bushdog.

Komodo Dragons are found to be Venomous and do not have a deadly pathogen bacteria in their saliva.
