40 Weird But Cool Wildlife Facts That You Can Throw Out In Casual Conversation, As Shared On This Facebook Group

✨Aweeesome! ✨

The squirrels that live at my house have been stealing pecans from a neighbor and now I have several pecan trees. Squirrels are friend.

They are deer friends.

Sleepy or drunk?

Ouch.

Don't google what they do to baby seals...

Nighttime, daytime! Nighttime, daytime!

I once found one in a lake and put it in a cup - watched it for HOURS - her name was Molly btw lol I was 12

Hence the name

Can you imagine walking along and one of those zooms by your head?

Well that got dark quickly

If we could only get them to lay eggs they'd be the only animal we needed.

Birds have that egg tooth too.

That is a very usual looking bald eagle. In clothing. With a hat. *pours remainder of wine down sink* Wait.

Trumpapillar (venomous)

This is what makes me into a hiccuping, snorting, snotty ugly cryer.

I find this oddly beautiful, somehow. Not because it looks like the pigeon has been hurt, but the bleeding heart concept.

Of course it can😖seems like the worst things can survive anything. Take cockroaches for example. Hey, at least you can drink nutritious milk from one🤢

Thickk long boi.

And digest bones.

Yes, they have black skin and bones. No, the eggs are Emu eggs. If you look closely, they are WAY larger than chicken eggs.

Talk about being cold as ice. Bet they serve up revenge really well.

Well - "animals" here means "birds, rodents, and reindeer" (plus various insects), and "avoid" means "don't crash into them". https://slate.com/technology/2014/03/power-lines-and-animals-flashing-uv-light-scares-reindeer.html And since I don't think that reindeer and rodents have a lot of opportunities to crash into power lines, this fact largely applies for birds. Still interesting to know, though.

Fun fact: These flowers tend to smell like oranges

No banana for scale?

It's so cute! 🤩🥰

weevil, weevil, rock you

Isn't this true for all cats? I mean the legs, not the 20-30ft thing.

Of course we did, that's what we do.

Same thing happened to me after a huge fry up

So we have to kill more sharks than we already have?

And it's technically a legless amphibian, more closely related to frogs and salamanders than to snakes.

Leopards are incredibly strong. They are also one of the few big cats willing to hunt in water or land. They also have no fear of people.

Riddick.

No thanks…

Even though they have a very strong bite, they can't open their mouths with much force. You could easily hold their mouth shut with one hand. That is of course, if they weren't thrashing around and ripping your limbs off. That's why you often see trappers using electrical tape. It will stick to itself when wet and doesn't need to provide that much tensile strength.

Now, I like to listen to “bug music”, but not if it’s louder than a passing car full of teenagers blasting their music.

Its even slower in a brick...0km/hr

Makes sense. They are the lightest elements.

The FEMALE Angler fish. Males don't have a bioluminescence Lue.

wouldn't you if you were boiled alive?

They are not "evolved from mammals". They ARE mammals.
