almost three percent of the ice in antarctican glaciers is penguin urine (piss)
Ants breed and domesticate aphids around their colonies, so they can drink their milky secretions. Aphids are ant cows. So ladybugs, then, would be like ant chupacabras.
:bug-facts: Bug Facts!
Kangaroos lick the inside of their elbows to stay cool.
Otters sometimes hold hands while they sleep to keep from floating away from each other.
Some of the nutrition that certain trees receive comes from half-eaten salmon carcasses left on the ground by bears. Salmon DNA traces have been found in cells at the tops of these trees.
Planarians (flatworms) can be "trained" to contract in response to a flash of light and an electrical current. If cut in half, both halves regenerate into complete animals, but only the "head" remembers the training.
Dinosaurs appear in the fossil record before flowers.
Pugs, even healthy ones, have breathing problems. This is not due to deformity of the head and nasal passages from selective breeding. It is actually because God does not want them to live.

oooh that’s so cool
:meow-floppy:
Planarians are pretty hype. They don't have a true "brain," just a "ganglia," which is a clump of nerves located at one end of their body, along with a primitive pair of light-sensitive "eyes." If you flash a light on them, and then pass a slight current through the water, they contract their bodies in response. After repeating this about 150 times, they begin to contract in response to just the flash of light.
Facts About Animals:
- Prawns are cannibals
- If there's an elephant in the room, you're in the wrong room
- Cutting an earthworm in half makes you a sadist
- I think it's worth repeating: Prawns eat their babies
- Monkeys eat monkeys (but who gives a monkey's?)
- If you squash a wasp, it releases a chemical from the wasp, which attracts people who tell you facts about wasps
Every fact you can learn about lion behavior will make it even more clear that lions are just, like, the worst.
