Anyone who has ever owned a cat knows this.

Sad but true. They have such long lives and are social animals in their herd. Beautiful noble creatures ❤️

I worked on a dairy farm for a summer when I was 14, can confirm. My personal favorite cow was named Dart and she would always follow me around 😆

Cicadas also deafen themselves.

There are pictures on two current threads on BP showing this. I can't remember which threads, sorry, but only in the last few days.

*packs koala for burglary accomplice*

So basically they're bilingual.

He was alive when George Washington was…

The ear expressions are pretty informative though.

That's phenomenal.

Kind 🥰

There would be evidence from even earlier, but the cat knocked it off the table and broke it.

Yep - every winter.

All the better to see to fly. Yes, I know real reindeer don't fly, but has anyone ever enrolled them in flight school?

Yet they'll sit there oblivious to their own love puffs whilst I gag ...

"The team found African grey parrots helped their neighbours by passing tokens to their neighbour when a human held out their hand, allowing the second bird to drop it through the hole and receive a tasty treat." https://www.theguardian.com/science/2020/jan/09/feathered-friends-study-shows-selfless-parrots-helping-peers#:~:text=All%20were%20trained%20individually%20to,and%20receive%20a%20tasty%20treat.

They arw so Goatable.

As if they couldn't be any scarier 😊

🐬:Sup jerry! 🐬:hey Fred.

Their eyes also do not move in the socket. That's why they can turn their heads almost all the way around.

Well then we know who wears the pants in their family. 😊

If I were a grizzly bear, I'd probably rather bite the person taunting me with a bowling ball.

😳

My boys brux and boggle! Bruxing is when they chatter/grind their teeth together when they're happy/relaxed. If they're feeling suuuuper chill (and I'm giving them really good pats) they boggle too, which is when their eyes bulge in and out. It looks bizarre but I love knowing they are happy. Oh and they also vibrate sometimes when they "feel something too intensely to express",😂 like fear/stress, or pleasure.

Ants and bees basically work until they die of exhaustion.

"A garden snail has about 14,000 teeth while other species can have over 20,000. But that's not even the most shocking part: The teeth of an aquatic snail called the limpet are the strongest known biological material on Earth, even stronger than titanium!" - https://www.exceptionalsmiles.dental/blog/10-interesting-weird-fun-facts-animals-teeth-exceptional-smiles-family dentistry/#:~:text=Snails%20have%20the%20most%20teeth%20of%20any%20animal&text=A%20garden%20snail%20has%20about,Earth%2C%20even%20stronger%20than%20titanium!

I think I'd get confused.

If they drink that way too, they're bound to spill.

More info, please.

Or maybe people who use rhino horn as an aphrodisiac can just chew their nails instead?

Those f*****g things can survive any and everything except a stomp from a foot, but the crunch sound from that stomp turns my stomach.

Also, their fur is translucent, not white. Algae can grow in it, that's why some are not actually white.

Ironic ... as I shout at them with the F word!!

Like drafting in Nascar?

Sometimes I wish I could do that. But I wear glasses so that would get rather messy.

Luckily, they don't exist anymore. But flying spiders do.

I'm so glad humans don't do this. Imagine if you stepped in dog shiz.

Ummmmmm....

🥺

How do they eat and drink?

Those little sand demons…

Couldn't they just use turpentine to get the paint off instead?

Researchers are using enzymes taken from vampire bat saliva to develop a blood-clot-dissolving drug called Draculin (yes, named after Count Dracula) to help stroke victims recover. Science is awesome.

But don’t let them sign you up for the lifetime warranty policy.

African swallows, while non migratory, could carry a coconut by gripping it by the husk and carry it to Mercia England. In order to maintain air-speed velocity, a swallow needs to beat its wings forty-three times every second.

the internet?

'Is that you Maaaary? ' 'Yes Baaaabara it is' 😊

Whom?

I love otters! They hold hands when floating to keep from being separated from their life partner..

I love when the name suits or accurately describes something. A group of wild or feral cats is called a destruction. That's my favorite!

I read this as penguins then thought how the heck are lions in Antarctica...Time for bed I think lol

Could this work for humans??

Note to self: don't name elephants "Baldy".

Eww. Then trash pandas are cleaner since they use water?

Vampires do that, too.

Apparently, approximately 10% of any one species is gay.

If it's cold, I hope he's got a coat.

That would feed a lot of people.

At a glance I thought that said hairy balls.

Why the rush?

How can something so ridiculously cute when they're small, be so damn ugly as adults?!
