Dogs that are poorly socialised as puppies can be remarkably and sometimes violently racist. It used to be common practice in South Africa to train protection dogs to hate and fear black people, and it's depressingly easy to do.

Bullfighting is terribly brutal and has no reason to exist IMO. That said, they don't torture the bulls to be more agressive, but to placate them so they charge while lowering the head .

Still useful as a metaphor though!

I've definitely heard this. and believed this....

and dogs and birds are lactose intolerant too.

So they don´t, but we wouldn´t know so we don´t know they don´t which means maybe they do.

this is a joke right? my whole childhood...

Aw, it's a shame that's debunked, that was a cute one.

it just good to use in cartoons..

Nothing will put me off getting kisses from a doggo!

Monty Python have a lot to answer for, poor goldfish...

well i'm glad thats not true

I've never heard of that myth

Koalas are cute, but they're also vicious and stupid. Evolutionary fail.

Should have read the whole post before I commented, I mentioned lemmings on another picture.

They don't necessarily have better eyesight than us. It's just different. In some areas their's are better than ours, like during the dark hours but our vision is sharper etc. Also not all bats have the same type of vision.

Piranhas on the other hand....

Reminds me a bit like the lemmings myth. No lemmings do not mass suicide by jumping off cliffs

Never heard of that myth either

Not just you harming their skin but also them possibly harming you as some produce a toxin through their skin.

I love chameleons. They're beautiful!

Not really, the statistic behind this urban myth has been thoroughly debunked. The injuries were only measured from the cats that survived the fall. Most cats that had falls from a greater height were killed outright, leaving a few lucky survivors that had soft landings to skew the results.

That sloth on the left has the same hair I had 6 months into covid

They come out of the tree to do their number 2's and that is when they are most vulnerable to attack.

Why don't they just sh*t while hanging? If all sloths do this once a week, I'm surprised that they didn't go extinct because of constipation.

At the same time, it does happen. I've personally watched a sloth grab its own arm and fall while in Costa Rica.

ok, so you basically have no chance surviving an encounter with a t-rex.
