On average, dogs have better eyesight than humans, although not as colorful.

TJ Cline · 12-20-2005, 05:20 PM

Many sharks lay eggs, but hammerheads give birth to live babies that look like very small duplicates of their parents. Young hammerheads are usually born headfirst, with the tip of their hammer-shaped head folded backward to make them more streamlined for birth.

TJ Cline · 12-20-2005, 05:21 PM

Gorillas sleep as much as fourteen hours per day.

A biological reserve has been made for golden toads because they are so rare.

TJ Cline · 12-20-2005, 05:21 PM

There are more than fifty different kinds of kangaroos.

TJ Cline · 12-20-2005, 05:21 PM

Jellyfish like salt water. A rainy season often reduces the jellyfish population by putting more fresh water into normally salty waters where they live.

TJ Cline · 12-20-2005, 05:22 PM

The female lion does ninety percent of the hunting.

TJ Cline · 12-20-2005, 05:22 PM

The odds of seeing three albino deer at once are one in seventy-nine billion, yet one man in Boulder Junction, Wisconsin, took a picture of three albino deer in the woods.

TJ Cline · 12-20-2005, 05:22 PM

A group of twelve or more cows is called a flink.

TJ Cline · 12-20-2005, 05:22 PM

Cats often rub up against people and furniture to lay their scent and mark their territory. They do it this way, as opposed to the way dogs do it, because they have scent glands in their faces.

TJ Cline · 12-20-2005, 05:23 PM

If my cat rubs up against you that means you are dead

TJ Cline · 12-20-2005, 05:23 PM

Cats sleep up to eighteen hours a day, but never quite as deep as humans. Instead, they fall asleep quickly and wake up intermittently to check to see if their environment is still safe.

TJ Cline · 12-20-2005, 05:23 PM

Catnip, or Nepeta cataria, is an herb with nepetalactone in it. Many think that when cats inhale nepetalactone, it affects hormones that arouse sexual feelings, or at least alter their brain functioning to make them feel "high." Catnip was originally made, using nepetalactone as a natural bug repellant, but roaming cats would rip up the plants before they could be put to their intended task.

TJ Cline · 12-20-2005, 05:23 PM

The nematode Caenorhabditis elegans ages the equivalent of five human years for every day they live, so they usually die after about fourteen days. When stressed, though, the worm goes into a comatose state that can last for two or more months. The human equivalent would be to sleep for about two hundred years.

You can tell the sex of a horse by its teeth. Most males have 40, females have 36

TJ Cline · 12-20-2005, 05:23 PM

Tuatara lizards, from New Zealand, have two eyes in the center of their heads and a third one on top of their heads.

A British medical journal called The Practitioner has determined that bird watching can be hazardous to one's health. They have officially designated bird watching a hazardous activity, using the example of the death of a bird watcher who became so wrapped up in watching a particular bird that he failed to notice his potentially dangerous surroundings and was eaten by a crocodile.

TJ Cline · 12-20-2005, 05:24 PM

Because porcupines have hollow quills, they are great swimmers.

TJ Cline · 12-20-2005, 05:24 PM

Mediterranean divers, before the Middle Ages, used to gather the golden strands of the pen shell, using them to weave a very fine cloth for the purpose of making womens' gloves. The cloth was so fine, in fact, that a pair of these gloves could be packed into an empty walnut shell, or anything of comparable volume.

TJ Cline · 12-20-2005, 05:24 PM

Snakes who have the genetic mutation of having been born with two heads have a hard time eating, because the two heads generally fight over which gets the food.

TJ Cline · 12-20-2005, 05:24 PM

Baby songbirds seem to learn how to sing from the adult birds of their species, and if they are raised by other species, they don't sing the same as their ancestors. They often make strange warbling noises, but may also learn the songs of other species. In the latter case, they can pass these songs on to their offspring.
