-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.
Only female ducks can quack.
As a platypus lays eggs and produces milk, it’s the only mammal that can make its own custard (plus the enchidna which can also do the same)
Dolphins don’t dream. Their cortex is large enough to not need to
Sharks are older than the star polaris
Echidnas?
I was thinking enchiladas, but echidnas make way more sense. Even if less tasty. I’m probably just hungry
Thank you. TIL
Cheetahs sound fun until I consider how many cords my cats have chewed, furniture they’ve scratched, and litter boxes they’ve populated.
Then suddenly a giant tame housecat seems less appealing.
Cheetah are extremely anxious animals, most other felines are very “lazy” animals but cheetah are active. Their hunting strategy is an outlier in felines, they don’t stalk and surprise, they outrun their prey.
Another issue is that even tho they’re more tame than other cats including the Serval they still can pretty much kill you. Tamed cheetah don’t usually harm their owners but there have been catastrophic incidents with kids.
A centipede’s ‘fangs’ are actually weird legs that can inject venom, and they’re called toxicognaths (which is one of my favourite words)!
“Bartender! I’ll have a toxicognath, thanks”.
Female spotted hyenas have pseudo-penises and no vaginal opening. They instead dock and give birth through their dicks
the sounding community seems to leak again…
It’s a retractable pseudo penis tho, they shrink it so it’s easier for the male to penetrate her even if her vagina isn’t very conventional.
Wild bees (often solo) will sometimes “bed down” in cactus flowers. The flowers close in the evening providing protection for the sleeping bee.
There are 25-million ants for every person on this planet.
I don’t want mine.
Ant-Man summoning all the ants would be way scarier than Spider-Man summoning all the spiders.
Where do I go to claim them?
Most giraffe sex happens between two males.
I learned a NSFW animal fact the other day. There are some fish that care for their young by holding them in their mouth, it’s called mouthbrooding. That’s not the new or NSFW part though.
The NSFW part is the fact that
for some fish, the fertilization occurs in the mouth. The female lays her eggs and scoops them up into her mouth. Then the male fertilizes the eggs directly in her mouth. Yes, it is exactly what it sounds like. A male fish cums into a female fish’s mouth, and that’s how they normally reproduce.
Ahh, nature. So beautiful. So like us.
Chimps will gang up and murder tyrannical leaders, we could learn so much from them. https://www.newscientist.com/article/2119677-chimps-beat-up-murder-and-then-cannibalise-their-former-tyrant/
Meerkat mobs are led by a dominant female. She’s identifiable by looking for the biggest butt.
Meerkat got back.
So what do I do? I now have some meerkats following me home.
Grooming them for parasites is probably a good start.
Dat ass
Meerkass
Humans can throw objects in excess of 100 mph (40 m/s), and hit a target from over 60 feet (20 m) away
But they still can’t take criticism.
You’ve just made an enemy for life!
Orb weaver spiders use their webs as giant, super-effective external eardrums.

Spider web microphones. Or antennas. Someone should build one. Someone competent in the area. :)
Cats offer us mice because we are incompetent at hunting ourselves.
Sharks have existed on earth longer than trees and grass.
