-Elephants can’t jump.
-Starfish don’t brains.
-Cheetahs are almost literally giant housecats: they purr, they meow, they don’t attack humans and are surprisingly easy to tame.
Meerkat mobs are led by a dominant female. She’s identifiable by looking for the biggest butt.
Meerkat got back.
Cats offer us mice because we are incompetent at hunting ourselves.
Humans can throw objects in excess of 100 mph, and hit a target from over 60 feet away
Wild bees (often solo) will sometimes “bed down” in cactus flowers. The flowers close in the evening providing protection for the sleeping bee.
Orb weaver spiders use their webs as giant, super-effective external eardrums.

Opossums are essentially immune to rabies and eat ticks.
You can see a good portion of the back of many owls’ eyes if you look in their ears.
Some scorpions can drop their tail if in danger. But afterwards they can’t poop anymore and die of constipation months later.
The octopus has 9 brains, one central brain (donut shaped, around the esophagus), and one in each of the 8 arms.
And one arm is used especially for octopus sexy time. (hectocotylus)
All that hentai led me to believe otherwise
That’s why that’s just fantasy 😄
Platypuses are one of the few venomous mammals. Males have a spur on their hind legs, which can inject a venom that can make a human sick for several weeks.
Yeah Dr. Doofenshmirtz is just trying to catch a wild animal called Perry the platypus
Cheetah’s went through a genetic bottleneck somewhere between ten and twelve thousand years ago. There may have been less than ten left at one point. Dating the Cheetah Genetic Bottleneck
My totally silly theory is that humans in fact where adopting kits at that time and help saved the species, and that’s why they’re so almost domesticated.There is almost no genetic diversity among them. You can skin graft or transplant organs between any two cheetahs without fear of rejection.
Could have been the egyptians lol https://egyptfuntours.com/blog/cheetah-in-ancient-egypt/
Elephants think humans are cute
-Starfish don’t brains.
Starfish ALL brain! Decentralized nervous system means it’s brain all the way down, baby!
Earwigs can fly…
I think I would have been a lot happier if I’d never learned that.
What the fuck?

I had to check that out
What the fuck, indeed!
Pigs can’t look up. Sharks are older than trees. The duck billed platypus has no nipples; milk just oozes from the skin. All mammals have the same number of cervical vertebrae.
Sharks are as old as fire.
They evolved around 450 million years ago, which is also the time oxygen levels in the atmosphere first got high enough to sustain fire, and land plants appeared that could catch fire.That is an even cooler extension to the sharks are older than trees fact which I enjoy.
It should be just platypus. And ducks are really platypus billed ducks. The platypus had it’s bill first way before ducks came along
pigs can very obviously look up
