Nature is already quite majestic, but did you know, that wombats have almost perfectly cube-shaped poop? Or that kiwis are practically blind and forage mainly by smell? And, believe it or not, axolotls can regrow lost limbs and even grow new ones! Nature is just full of surprises and weird animal facts.

Bored Panda has chosen a few of the more unexpected animal facts, with which you can definitely blow your colleagues' minds. Just be sure to remember at least one of them in the time of need. And if you thought that human life is rather complex, then after checking these illustrations and animal trivia compiled by A. Stiffler and K. Copeland in a series called Nature is Magic, you might just think otherwise.

Don't forget to check their website called ChaosLife for more fun facts about animals!

also, because they poop when they rest, scientists can tell how long a panda was in a spot for based on how much poop is there!

AND, whatever they happen to be doing! They behave almost like narcoleptics. This is due to their diet. Bamboo makes them drowsy.

Um no, that is simply not true. It is a fact that hippos kill more people in Africa than crocodiles yes, but the most dangerous mammal (apart from humans) is in fact the dog. Dogs kill on average fifty-five thousand people annually, more than snakes do! The most dangerous animal in total is the mosquito.

    This, I know, having had chickens for years. They even look sort of dino-ish up close.

    How does that work? You take the butterfly on a binge weekend and ask it to choose between flower juice and blood?

    City dwelling birds can be really good at imitating sounds, I got fooled by a magpie into believing that there was a kitten stuck on a tree. And it happened to some of my friends as well.

    That's because they are basically made of stem cells - they are stuck in a biological development limbo (think puberty). If they are injected with iodine, it actually resumes their ontogeny and they become a salamander.
