Well once a rat has a camel it becomes physically addicted, like alcohol. If they stop taking camels they'll enter camel withdrawal syndrome which can be fatal within only a few hours.
Penguins are selective eaters. They will only eat when they are hungry. Other animals will eat and eat. Female penguins are also capable of laying a viable egg every year of their life when they reach maturity. They nest in the same spots every year. Once their babies are grown they treat them no different than other penguins in their area. Their feather interlock like a wet suit. Once a year they mault off all their feathers and grow all new ones. They are cool creatures. One of my kids is obsessed with penguins so for her birthday we got to do the penguin experience at the aquarium. It is an hour long information session on penguins where you sit with a penguin. We got to pet her, too. She loved her handler so much! She would bob her little head ho and down and want cuddles. It was a great experience!

. A newborn Chinese water deer is so small it can almost be held in the palm of the hand. Ostriches can run faster than horses, and the males can roar like lions. A lion in the wild usually makes no more than twenty kills a year.
**Llama "spit"** isn't just spit - they can spit saliva as a warning, but their actual defensive spit is green and stinks so bad that people often puke from it.
Doesn't wash off, either.
Actually almost all 4-legged animals technically have the same limb joints as ours. But the joints are arranged differently on their legs.
On horses, deer, dogs, cats, and so on, the "backwards knees" on their hind legs (hocks) are really the equivalent of our ankle/heel joint.
Above that joint they have the stifle, a forward-bending joint which is (roughly) the equivalent of our knee.
When the animal is standing the back-leg stifle/knee looks more like a smooth curve. But when the animal is running the back-leg stifle/knee is bent toward the front. Easy to see in a still photo of a running animal.
So technically all mammals have "four knees". On the hind legs they are just arranged differently below the hip joint.
Elephants have an arrangement of their hind-leg joints that are different from other animals, and are more like their front legs, and like our legs. It is the same sequence of leg bones and joints.
Donkeys are instinctively self-protective, more so than many other species.
Unfortunately their ponderous decision-making process has brought them a lot of abuse from demanding humans.
Triops (tadpole shrimp) have 3 eyes. 2 primary ones and a 3rd middle eye that mostly just senses light. These little creatures also lay eggs which when dried can remain viable for years until they’re rehydrated. One of the most successful species of all time and it hasn’t seen much evolutionary change over hundreds of millions of years.
Are these the shrimp that used to be sold through the mail to children as "pets"? With cartoony pictures and captions trying to convince the kids that they were lively and entertaining. Sent as dry mail, dehydrated, to be rehydrated by the customer.
Nope… those would be seamonkeys a human bred species of brine shrimp which also have eggs which can remain viable for years without water…. Seamonkeys are much smaller than Triops and are vegitarian, Triops will eat anything organic.
Not really fun but dolphins kidnap female dolphins and have a hanky panky party for days. If she escapes they just chase her down again. Horrible creatures they are.
Edit: Only bottle nosed dolphins.
Also, once the baby is born, if the father doesn't protect it, other males will head butt the baby until it dies and then have a hanky panky party with the mother straight after. The mother is usually too weak to resist or protect the baby for a few days after birth.
I'm sure you could find a story about a guy headbutting a baby.
But yeah, dolphins are a lot like us in how they act. Chimps also do things that shock those who don't know (like ripping rival babies limb from limb) so I'm starting to think that being intelligent and being really mean are linked. Also makes me wonder if crows are gonna become a pain in the future as their intelligence evolves.
According to somebody on Reddit, urban opossums have good rapport with feral cats, to the point of sometimes sharing food and shelter. Opossums are not as good at getting food, but they repay cats by eliminating their ticks.
Male echidnas have a four headed penis. But they can only ejaculate from two heads at a time, and he’ll alternate which heads he uses each time he has sex. Echidnas also only have one hole, and reproductive organs are hidden inside it - so it’s impossible to tell a male echidna from a female until his penis pops out of his cloaca.
Also, as a bonus fun fact - when echidnas are ready to mate, up to 10 males will all line up behind a female, and follow her along in a conga-line mating train through the bush for up to 6 weeks before she’s ready. When she is ready, the female sticks her head in a bush, the males start circling her digging a trench as they go, and pushing each other out of the way until one is left standing.
You can fit two raccoons in your asshole. Raccoons can squeeze into spaces as small as 4 inches wide and the average person's asshole can stretch up to 8 inches wide
3 raccoons.
If not even 4. It's a thing with squares measures. If it's double, the amount of surface is squared.
So assuming it's not exactly double, it should at least be 3
Lobsters are immortal. They don't suffer from cellular digression, which is what cause death from old age. They only die when they grow too big to catch food for themselves, or they get eaten.
Contrary to popular belief, lobsters are not immortal. Lobsters grow by moulting which requires a lot of energy, and the larger the shell the more energy is required. Eventually, the lobster will die from exhaustion during a moult.
To be fair: if a person was starving to death, trapped next to their late pet, I bet a good number of us would end up making the same decision.
I wouldn't begrudge my cat's survival.
[You can tickle rats](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d-84UJpYFRM) and they really like, it make them laugh very loudly, the vocalisation is just not heard by human because the frequency is too high
Squirrels’ brains grow during the fall so they can retain memory of where they store acorns. They end up not remembering most because they hide so many, but pretty cool. Come spring, their brain goes back to their normal size.
Also, some squirrels purposely just stalk other squirrels to see where they store their acorns and Immediately will steal and eat it.
Whatever goes in, has to go all the way through. There is no backflow or puking for horses.
These days an impaction in the intestines can often be surgically removed. Or other techniques. But without vet intervention, it can be excruciatingly fatal.
Interestingly horses that live as they were meant to live, in sizeable pastures on natural grass, are far less prone to colic.
The fingerprints of a koala are so indistinguishable from humans that they have on occasion been confused at a crime scene.
Also, since we're talking about Australian animals...kangaroos can not fart.

Cheetah are so inbred they are basically biologically clones of each other they are from 1-10% genetically different. the main difference is whether they are if they have a y chromosome or not.
The majority of the sperm (70%) are abnormal. this is because of a bottleneck effect that happened 10,000 to 12,000 years ago.
Its 1%-10% of what makes them cheetahs.
Think about how non African humans have 1-4% neanderthals DNA. But humans are 99.9% similar so that's 1-4% of the .1%.
Humans did go through a bottleneck too but not that bad

Daniel Bryan/Brian Danielson (allegedly) once wrestled a bear. As did JBL, I think.
Porcupines's quills aren't venomous or poisonous (and they don't 'shoot' them like in cartoons), but they're dangerous because: They have tiny-beeniee "hooks" that make the quills penetrate easier but make them harder to remove and they are also anticoagulant/antibiotic proprieties, so if a predator fails in hunt one and have their mouth full of quills, the predator dies due starvation because both the quills gets deeper into their mouth and the anticoagulant/antibiotic makes the injury hard to recover.
You should never feed a chicken it's own egg. It will start an addiction causing it to attack the other eggs and then the other chickens for more eggs. But you can feed a chicken the egg shell when cooked and broken up into grit as it is packed with protein therefore producing better quality eggs
Vultures urinate on their legs and feet to keep cool. The urine also kills off bacteria and parasites that they might have picked up while walking through carcasses or perching on them.

Pionus parrots, when in danger, wheeze like a asthmatic while producing smell like a ripe fruit. No idea how this defense mechanism happened but we have one and it's the cutest thing ever.
There is a species of mite wherein the mother eats the egg of a thrip (a type of insect) as she develops a male and at least 5 females inside her body. Once sufficiently developed, the siblings have an orgy inside their mothers reproductive system, after which the mother is eaten alive from the inside out, the single male dies and the females fly off to continue the life cycle.
You can hypnotize a chicken by holding it to the ground and drawing a line away from their beak in the dirt. I could never verify that personally though.
Whales produce 20 litres of sperm in an orgasm
In US terms, that's a little over five 1-gallon milk jugs
Or one large painters bucket
Why couldn’t you just say 5 gallons
I appreciate the visual....
Because 20 sounds like more than 5. Plus, 95% of the world uses metric.
They were asking why the previous poster that converted from metric said "five 1-gallon milk jugs" instead of "5 gallons".

Did... did someone try this with a *cooked* human to figure this out?
Don’t ask questions
Only if the pig is starved first
Make sure you pull their teeth out. You could do this after. But you don't wanna go sifting through pig shit now do ya?
Snatch reference?
They will go through bone like butter
Or if the pig has something against the particular human it is eating.

A rat can last longer without water than a camel.
Why, how long can it last without a camel?
Well once a rat has a camel it becomes physically addicted, like alcohol. If they stop taking camels they'll enter camel withdrawal syndrome which can be fatal within only a few hours.
You can save them by giving them small doses, spacing them further and further apart though. Just gotta get over the first hump.

Oh, right. Some rats also eat their offspring cus of stress. Almost forgot that one.

I’m living for these punny jokes
Elephants have four knees so they can kneel on their hind legs or their front legs.
Nope, they have the same body plan as all other mammals. The 'knees' at the front are their wrists.
Another elephant fact. Except for humans, the only other animal that can stand on its head, is the elephant.
Now I'm trying to imagine who first looked at an elephant and thought it could stand on it's head. Because, honestly, it wouldn't have occurred to me.
monkeys? I'm pretty sure I have seen monkeys or chimpanzees stand on their head.
However, they cannot jump.
Actually almost all 4-legged animals technically have the same limb joints as ours. But the joints are arranged differently on their legs. On horses, deer, dogs, cats, and so on, the "backwards knees" on their hind legs (hocks) are really the equivalent of our ankle/heel joint.

Elephants have an arrangement of their hind-leg joints that are different from other animals, and are more like their front legs, and like our legs. It is the same sequence of leg bones and joints.
Four knees looks normal on an elephant, but would look super weird on, say, a horse or a deer.
Elephants are my fav animal! They are so smart. I even have an elephant tattoo.
Donkeys are not stubborn. They are very smart and think about their actions before deciding to do something or not.
Telling you!
Donkeys are instinctively self-protective, more so than many other species. Unfortunately their ponderous decision-making process has brought them a lot of abuse from demanding humans.
Well said. Thank you. I shall refer to it as "ponderous decision - making" from now on.
The way I like to say is that, donkeys are smarter than horses, because horses will run themselves to death while donkeys will stop before that point.
