If you think you know your animal facts very well, you may be in for a major shocker after you read this post.
There are a lot more to animals than you know, as this post will show/tell you. See for yourself…
1. In China, it’s criminal to kill a panda. Pandas are one of the many protected animals in China, poaching and killing them can attract a death sentence.
2. When you have more than 2 owls gathered in a place, it’s called a ‘parliament’. This is because owls are usually solitary, so they’re considered of great disposition when they’re done together in a group.
3. Bees are known to feed and live off sweet nectar on flowers, however, there is a specie of bee that do not feed on nectar; they feed on human tears. This specie of bees is called the Lisotrigona, and they’re mostly found in Thailand.
4. Bats can fly, but they just can’t walk. This is owing to their very tiny legs, which cannot support their frame.
5. The appropriate name for a flock of parrots is called Pandemonium, and a group of peacocks is called ostentation.
6. Human beings are not the only animals that suffer menopause; elephants also do.
7. All dogs bark, except the Basenji. They are a unique specie of dogs that do not bark, and that is why most people refer to them as the ‘soundless dog’.
8. Mayflies have a lifespan of roughly 8 hours. This means that if a mayfly is given birth to by 8 in the morning, it has from then till 4 in the evening that same day to: grow, mature, mate and eventually die.
9. Tardigrades are a special kind of microscopic animals. They can live and survive under any sort of condition –.cold, radiations, etc, and live comfortably in space or vacuum
10. The Angler fish is a rare creature; it reproduces by an interesting form of attachment. When a male angler fish sees a female, it attaches itself to the female and gradually becomes an organ of the female I.e a part of her body. So the male totally ceases to exist, and the female now has a new organ (a testes) and hence reproduction can occur. Talk about amazing. Lol.
So now, you know a few more things about animals than you did before now; whoever said knowledge could be exhausted? Lol.
