98. Bees have 5 eyes. 2 at the front like a fly, and 3 smaller eyes like a spider.
The three ‘ocelli’ eyes on the top of its head detect light, so the bee can sense if it’s being approached by a predator.

99. Giant vampire bats lived 100,000 years ago and had a wingspan of 50cm (20 inches).
These giant bats were roughly 30% larger than the modern vampire bats. The remains of one were recently found in a cave in Argentina.

100. There are no ‘male’ Mourning geckos.
They are an all female species, as they are ‘parthenogenetic’, meaning it can reproduce without males. Around 70 species in the world have shown this behaviour, including some crabs, snails and the Komodo dragon.

101. There are an estimated 8.7 million species on earth and more than 80% of them are undiscovered.
Based on current data, complex statistics, and models we can predict how many species there are on Earth, telling us how many are still left to be found. It will likely take another 500 years to find them all. 39

Не надо мне рассказывать как жить,
Дружить мне с кем-то или не дружить.
Что одевать, какая нынче мода...
Поверьте, у меня своя "погода".
Свои эмоции и в небе облака,
Зверюшками бегут издалека...
Что серый дождь...я радугу встречаю,
Пью водку иногда, я, вместо чая.
Люблю ромашки, но не против роз,
И не сую куда не надо, я , свой нос.
Душа закрыта, я не постучусь,
С советами нахально не ломлюсь...
Попросят - помогу...бывает нет..
И лишь один могу я дать совет...
Чужая жизнь, как и душа...одни потемки
Не надо лезть.... границы очень тонки...

92. Vultures urinate and defecate on their own legs and feet to cool off on hot days.
This a cooling mechanism called ‘urohydrosis’. Weirdly this can also help kill any bacteria picked up from walking through dead animals which they prey upon.

93. The wood frog spends 7 months of the year frozen.
These Alaskan frogs freeze almost completely at the start of winter, with two-thirds of their body water turning into ice. To all intents and purposes, they seem dead; their heart stops beating, and their blood flow stops. However, once winter starts to thaw so do they and they hop back to life.

89. Orangutans are the heaviest tree-dwelling animals.
There are three species of orangutan and adult males of all three typically weigh around 75kg (165lb) while females are ~37 kg (82 lb). They are ~1.5m(5ft) tall and have a huge arm span of ~2m (6ft). They spend most of their time up in the canopy, making them the heaviest tree-dwelling animal.

90. Chimpanzees are very intelligent and make all kinds of tools.
For example, some use long sticks to fish out termites from their mounds. Others have been recorded creating “spears” to hunt bushbabies!

63. Tardigrades can survive in space and go without eating for more than 10 years.
Tardigrades are microscopic animals with crazy endurance abilities. They can survive in temperatures as high as 149oC or as low as -272oC and pressures 6 times more intense than the bottom of the ocean. They also look like tiny bears! 28

64. Duck-billed platypus don’t have ni***es, instead they concentrate milk to their belly and feed their young by sweating it out.
The milk emerges from pores in the skin of the abdomen which the platypus puggles then lap up.

61. Some corvids (crows, rooks, ravens etc,) can understand physics.
Corvids are highly intelligent. They can use tools, solve puzzles, recognise faces, and even understand physics. Tests show that rooks have the same level of understanding of physics as a 6-month-old baby, which is higher than some apes. 26

62. Sheep can recognise faces.
As social animals, sheep are capable of recognising familiar and unfamiliar faces. Studies even suggest that they miss other sheep when they are taken away for a long time afterwards.

50. The Alpine Swift is able to stay airborne for over 6 months without touching down.
It holds the world record for the longest recorded uninterrupted flight by a bird, at over 200 days in the air as it hunted flying insects on its wintering range in the skies over West Africa. 17

51. The Edible Dormouse (Glis glis) is able to hibernate the longest – up to 11-months of the year when food availability is low.
To be able to pull of this feat, they double or even triple their body weight before hibernation. During hibernation they are able to reduce their metabolic rate and the animal may stop breathing for periods of up to an hour at a time. 18

10. The horned lizard is able to shoot blood from its own eyes, up to a distance of 3 feet away. The rather bizarre and disgusting act is a defensive mechanism to confuse predators.
Their blood contains a chemical that is noxious to predators, and this isn’t its only trick – short-horned lizards are also capable of inflating their bodies up to twice their size to scare anything away.

8. There are more than 1.4 billion insects for EACH HUMAN on the planet, according to recent estimates.
Ants have colonised almost every landmass on Earth. Their population is estimated as 107–108 billion alone, in comparison to approx. 7 billion humans on the planet. 5

9. The shortest living animal in the world is the Mayfly. Its entire lifespan is just 24hrs.
The Mayfly reproduces and then dies, during that short 24hr period of life. Some species of Mayfly only live for 8-10 hours.
