I like getting these emails of random bits of information, I thought maybe some hipforumers would also enjoy it... Just useless bits of info that may or may not one day come in handy. Random Acts of Facts – The Monday Email #5 … animalish things… The average housefly lives only two weeks. The United States has never lost a war when donkeys were used. A completely blind chameleon will still take on the colors of its environment. A species of earthworm in Australia grows up to 10 feet in length. Chained dogs are 3 times more likely to bite than unchained dogs. The blesbok, a South African antelope, is almost the same color as grapejuice. What you find when you shave the striped fur off of a tiger? Striped skin. A baby octopus is about the size of a flea at birth. Billy goats urinate on their own heads to smell more attractive to females. Roosters can't crow if they can't fully extend their necks. The penguin is the only bird that can swim, but cannot fly. The Giant South African Earthworm can grow up to 22 feet long and 1 inch in thick. At birth, a panda bear is smaller than a mouse. Kittens are born both blind and deaf.
After cats eat, they always immediately bathe themselves. This is because their instinct tells them to get the food scent off of them so that predators will not smell the food and come after them.
Sounds like me, except I'm doing it accidentally.:sunglasse I don't think human females are too attracted to hair that smells like pee-pee
Next time you bust your cat for something, even just for thinking of doing something...Watch for the 'comfort lick.' It's actually pretty comical, never fails either.
Those are neat That one is so sad, for the dog more than anything. Just goes to show how much they need proper socialisation.
Did you know there are two kinds of pandas? There is the Long-tailed Himalayan carnivore that looks like a raccoon and there is the Giant panda bear that lives in Western China. A crocodile can't move its tongue and cannot chew. Its digestive juices are so strong that it can digest a steel nail. Camels have three eye lids There are only three animals with blue tongues: the black bear, the Chow Chow dog and the blue-tongued lizard. Roadrunners are large (about two feet long) crested birds that prefer to run rather than fly. They eat rattlesnakes whole, and they can sprint 15 miles per hour. Bengal tigers are the most water loving of the big cats. They will even chase prey into the water.
I'm enjoying this thread a lot but this fact is a little misleading. The 'other' panda is called the Red Panda or Lesser Panda and although both the Giant Panda and the Lesser Panda are classified as carnivores, they both generally only eat vegetation with the exception of insects or eggs.
There are only three animals with blue tongues: the black bear, the Chow Chow dog and the blue-tongued lizard. I thought giraffes had blue/purple tounges too? I know their tounges are prehensile....wouldn't that make oral sex interesting.....
Does that just mean that the US was better at fighting wars before modern warfare? But do they bite because they are chained or are they chained because they bite? Meaning that, like the countless varieties of grapes, it doesn't just come in one color.
