10 Fantastic Animal Facts

What is your fantastic animal?

How many of you know in which way that animal is fantastic? 

Learning about animals is great fun. Whether it’s endangered African animals, sea animals, wild animals or pets, there are so many amazing types of animals that each have their own characteristics and behaviors. Living in all parts of the world, these animals include cats, dogs, insects, birds, sharks, gorillas, frogs, cheetahs, giraffes, elephants, horses, sharks and many more.

Prepare to be astounded by the following fantastic animals.

1.          Ostriches can run faster than horses, and the male ostriches can roar like lions. 
2.    Bats are the only mammals that can fly. Wouldn’t it be awesome if humans could fly too? hehehe
3.   Fleas can jump up to 200 times their height. This is equivalent to a man jumping the Empire State Building in New York.
4.    Elephants can smell water up to 3 miles away. They are also one of the three mammals that undergo menopause – the other two being humpback whales and human females. 
5.       Koala bears almost exclusively eat only eucalyptus leaves and nothing else.
6.     Because beavers’ teeth never stop growing, they must constantly gnaw on objects to keep them at a manageable length. Their teeth would eventually grow into their brain if they didn’t maintain them.
7.       Butterflies have two compound eyes consisting of thousands of lenses, yet they can only see the colors red, green and yellow.
8.       Don’t try this at home, but a snail can grow back a new eye if it loses one. 
9.     The slowest fish is the seahorse, which moves along at about 0.01 mph.
10.     Hummingbirds are the only birds that can fly backwards and their wings can beat at up to 80 times per second.
