There is a South American bird called the paradise tanager, Latin name Tangara chilensis. It's found in quite a few countries in South America... but not Chile.

Grin good one @Susu49! I have another marine fact about octopuses ( for whom I have the greatest respect, please can they take note when they conquer us). Octopuses have cars; they use half a coconut shell, then pull the other half on top, and roll to their destination. I know it sounds like an episode of Spongebob, but there are videos on youtube. So i'm not pulling your tentacle!

An octopus named Inky actually managed to escape an aquarium Finding Dory style.

He escaped from his tank and slithered down a drainpipe that led into the ocean.

Another octopus was the reason many rare fish went missing in an aquarium. The keepers noticed that fish were disappearing over night. They eventually discovered that an octopus was escaping its table, going over to the all you can eat sushi bar and then returning home before he was discovered.

@CottonPyjamas

Kangaroos have three vaginas
It also means they can have 3 babies at the same time

Pregnant with one, one in the pouch, and another Joey that is still reliant on mum but is out of the pouch
