SEAN3513 7 Posted October 19, 2010 Report Share Posted October 19, 2010 The largest land animal in the world is the Kodiak bear. It weighs about 862 kilograms, which is roughly the same as 14 male gymnasts. Woodpeckers slam their heads into wood at a rate of 20 pecks per second. What protects them from injury is a spongy area that sits behind their beaks and acts as a shock absorber. Approximately 50 percent of all orangutans have fractured bones, a result of falling off of trees on a regular basis. Giraffes and humans have the same number of bones in their necks: seven. When a lion wants to mate, he cannot be stopped. Copulation occurs every 15 minutes for one week straight. Luckily for lionesses, lions only want to mate once every two years. All clams are born as males. A clam can change to become a female, but only once, and the change is irreversible. The brain of a roach is located inside of its body. If a roach loses its head, it can live up to nine days. A decapitated roach dies not because it cannot think, but because it cannot eat. The koala does not need to drink liquids; it can obtain all of its liquids from eucalyptus leaves which are 50 percent water. African elephants produce approximately 100 kilograms of manure per day. Most of this manure is eaten up by beetles. The great tit produces its waste in enclosed sacs that it later removes from its nest. The average great tit removes approximately 500 sacs of manure from its nest each week. Frogs cannot vomit. Whenever a frog absolutely has to vomit, it vomits its entire stomach. The hummingbird flaps its wings 55 to 75 times per second. In order to fuel this activity, it eats approximately twice its weight in nectar every day. When hunting in packs, wolves use different howls to communicate with one another. Because echoes can distort communication, a wolf's howl does not produce an echo, even when emitted in a valley surrounded by mountains. The monarch butterfly can detect its lover's scent eight kilometers away. The water spider lives underwater but breathes air by using its web to create an underwater sac that stores air bubbles. The whitetail deer causes more harm to humans than any other animals do because of the number of traffic accidents that they are involved in. On average, sharks kill 10 humans every year. Approximately 100 people die each year when they are stepped on by cows. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
hullhunter 219 Posted October 19, 2010 Report Share Posted October 19, 2010 You can tell if a skunk is about if you smell only .000 000 000 000 071 ounce of its spray. The Albatross has a wing span of up to 14 feet and only needs to land once every couple of years to breed. They can travel hundreds of thousands of miles each flight. The sailfish, the swordfish and the mako shark have all been clocked at swimming over 50mph. Montana mountain goats will butt heads so hard their hooves fall off. The last animal in the dictionary is the Zyzzyva, a tropical weevil Honeybees have hair on their eyes. Fleas have changed history. More human deaths have been attributed to fleas than all the wars ever fought. As carriers of the bubonic plague, fleas were responsible for killing one-third of the population of Europe in the 14th century. To figure out your "true dog's age" in human terms, count the first full year as 15 years, the second full year as 10 yeas and all the following years as 3 years. In other words, a 5 year old dog would be: 15+10+3+3+3=34 years old. Greyhounds can jump a distance of 27 feet The membranes in a dog's nose, if unfolded and laid out, would be larger than the dog itself. 40% of all cats are ambidextrous. The other 60% are either "right-pawed" or "left-pawed". The smallest dog in history was a tiny Yorkie from Blackburn, England. At two years of age and fully grown he was only 2.5 inches tall by 3.75 inches long and weighed only 4 ounces. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

"Earth!" 503 Posted October 19, 2010 Report Share Posted October 19, 2010 The only animals known to man that cannot get cancer are sharks and rays. Scientists believe that it may be the fact that they have cartilage instead of bones. Out of all the breeds of dog, Greyhounds have the best eyesight Throughout its life, an oyster will change its sex back and forth many times like earth. like earth oi,piss off you two.

genuine 81 Posted October 19, 2010 Report Share Posted October 19, 2010 All animals are members of the Kingdom Animalia, also called Metazoa. This Kingdom does not contain the prokaryotes (Kingdom Monera, includes bacteria, blue-green algae) or the protists (Kingdom Protista, includes unicellular eukaryotic organisms). All members of the Animalia are multicellular, and all are heterotrophs (that is, they rely directly or indirectly on other organisms for their nourishment). Most ingest food and digest it in an internal cavity. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
