Tell me something I do not know about animals or everyday life

Tell me something i don`t know.

Did you Know that elephants also hear through their feet.
Sloths can swim.
Having a clean tidy home improves your mood.

I remember looking at our own eyelashes under a microscope in A level Biology, and one poor girl had a mite on hers. I'm sure we all have them but I'm glad I didn't have to show the whole class mine!

Axolotls spend their entire life in a juvenile, aquatic state.

1-The word ''menopause'' comes from the French ''ménopause'', coined in the 1820s by Doctor Charles-Pierre-Louis de Gardanne.

The Greek components: ''Mēn'' meaning ''month'' and ''Pausis'' meaning cessation, or ''a pause''.

2-Globophobia is a fear of balloons, and less than 1% of the global population has that phobia. I used to know a David P who was seriously phobic of them.

3-That amazing building, the Pentagon in Virginia, was built at speed. It took just 16 months for construction, from the 15th January 1943!

Domestic cats’ ancestors were desert animals. That’s why cats like a higher ambient temperature than us. The females made dens underground to give birth in and rear their kittens. That’s why domestic cats like playing in boxes.

Rats can’t vomit either, their digestive systems must be a hell of a lot more robust than horses! I believe the latter are particularly prone to serious digestive issues which is why you should never ‘kindly’ feed someone else’s horse or pony anything without permission.

I have a fear of balloons, but not the ones you go up in. It has developed over time

Rabbits chatter their teeth, rather than grind them, though, but they also do that to self sooth if they’re in pain.

Cat’s purr at the correct hertz to heal bone.

.....and his clean sheets smelled of lavender,

con, com = with
panis, pane, pain = bread

com pan ion is a person with whom you eat bread. Company comes to eat bread with you at your house.

Wobbegong is the common name for the type of shark known as carpet sharks.

I watched a video yesterday of a doctor explaining how mothers breast milk adjusts in the summer to provide more water and therefore hydration for babies and how the babies saliva interacts with the mothers nipple and it can detect illness and administer antibodies that are required. Bloody incredible.

The average human farts enough to fill 2,000 party balloons during their lifetime.

Is this the reason for your developing fear?

I’m going to hold everyone’s hand when I say this…

Spiders don’t drag their willies over washing left on a washing line as they use pedipalps near their mouth to transfer sperm, they don’t have willies as such.

What? We need to know more. How big/small are they?

I’m sure it’s some kind of bird eater spider.

Horses can only breath through their noses (not their mouths)

They are born with little tentacles on their hooves, that dry off and drop off within 24hrs following birth, to stop them damaging the mothers birth canal. Google fairy slippers or fairy fingers in horses.

Quite a few non native animals have colonized in the UK; The green ring necked parakeets, wallabies, racoons, scorpions, glis glis, muntjac deer, coypu (possibly eradicated), mink, grey squirrel, signal crayfish. There have been many sightings of large cats especially in the west country, there are probably more but I've forgotten them.

This probably won't be news to many people, but anyway.

Herring gulls are smart and live a very long time and they recognise faces and people. DH had a herring gull that he essentially fed and protected as a baby some 10 odd years ago when it fell out of the nest and was atatcked by crows This gull recognises and likes DH very much and they have a relationship. DH feeds him cheeses and sausages but I don't. A few weeks back DH got off the train after a trip away for work and the gull saw him from wherever and basically walked home with him then asked for some food. We know it's the same gull because when he was a baby he had a head injury and holds his neck at an angle. The gull also talks to DH and calls for him when DH is inside and the gull wants some food.

DH is away again and this morning the gull (we call him Bruce) trotted into our kitchen and told me he wanted some food. Our garden door is open due to the heat. I assume that he would drop by more often if the door were open more often.

@MoonWoman69 "You can’t hum if you’re holding your nose."

Well, no, not if no air can pass over your vocal chords! 🤷‍♀️

Owls avoid flying in heavy rain, as to enable them to fly as quietly as possible for hunting, their feathers don't have the waterproofing that other birds do, so they would risk becoming waterlogged.

The world's oldest known wild bird is an albatross called Wisdom, who is around 74-75 years old. She was tagged by a ring on her leg in 1956 at the estimate age of about five. She returns to Midway Atoll in the Pacific Ocean every year to breed, and last laid an egg in 2025.

It is estimated that she's flown over 4.8 million kilometres in her lifetime.

Cows love music, slower music in particular.

Narwhal skin is rich in vitamin C & a vital food source for Inuits.

The width of modern railways are set as a result of chariots with two horses abreast.

Crocodiles can open their mouth under water without drowning because they have a structure called a gular flap that seals off their airway so they don't drown.
