IT'S ANOTHER DID YOU KNOW READ!!! IM SURE YOU WON'T KNOW LATEST QUITE A FEW OF THESE FACTS!
LET'S GET STARTED!!!!
1. Mosquitoes are the deadliest insects on the planet.
They may be small, but they cause millions of deaths a year around the world, according to the World Health Organization. This is because mosquitoes carry and transmit a number of viruses and diseases, from malaria to dengue to yellow fever. In 2015 alone, there were 438,000 deaths from malaria.
2. Clownfish change genders.
Clownfish experience what it’s like to be each gender during their lifetimes. They’re all born male, but some turn into females (a process known as sequential hermaphroditism). Both are born with both male and female parts, and some males make the transition if alpha females die.
HOW COOL!!!
3. Great white sharks can sniff out blood from miles away.
This doesn’t necessarily help the stereotype that great white sharks are cold-blooded killers. But they do have an insane ability to detect blood. They’re able to sense blood from 3 miles away, and can also identify a small drop in a 25-gallon bucket.
4. Snails have a crazy sleep schedule.
Snails are all over the map when it comes to sleep. We’ll define them as manic. They may nap for several hours, then stay awake for sessions of 30 hours or more. On the flip side, they have crazy hibernation periods. They can snooze for periods of up to three years, a survival instinct for when they feel the need to self-preserve.
I WISH WE COULD DO THIS DURING LOCKDOWN!
5. Owls can twist their heads 270 degrees.
These birds have the insane ability to swivel their heads in almost full circle thanks to their flexibility, and the fact that their heads are only connected by one socket pivot. Researchers at Johns Hopkins also found that owls have backup arteries, so when they turn their heads at extreme angles, they’re still getting blood and nutrients when their blood vessels are cut off during turning.
THE POSER!!!
6. Stonefish is the most poisonous fish in the world.
The stonefish produces intense vasoconstriction. If you’re stung by one, it can cause shock, paralysis, malaise, nausea and vomiting, sweating, delirium, pyrexia, cardiogenic shock, respiratory distress, and even death if it’s not treated within a few hours by anti-venom. If you do survive, the symptoms can last a long time, from days to weeks, and full recovery may take many months.
7. African elephants are pregnant for a really long time.
Nine months is nothing: African elephants have the longest pregnancy of any mammal, which can last up to 2 years.
WELL, BELATED HAPPY MOTHERS DAY TO ALL THE MOTHERS OUT THERE!!!
8. Barn owls get divorced.
Barn owls are a species known to mate for life, but research has found 25 percent of barn owls that pair up also divorce. It seems to be spurred by young male barn owls, who researchers found tended to end up with a less attractive female the second time around. Serves ‘em right.
9. Bengal tigers are the ultimate meat-eaters.
Bengal tigers are native to India and are known carnivores. A hungry tiger can eat as much as 60 pounds of meat in one meal, and if it can’t finish, it usually buries it in the ground to save for a snack later.
10. African buffaloes practice democracy.
Researchers have noted that African buffalo herds practice voting. The process only involves adult females, and it all takes place with physical cues. It happens when individual buffaloes register their travel preferences by standing up, looking in one direction, and then lying back down.
11. Pupfish can thrive in any water.
When it comes to fish, you often categorize them as fresh- or saltwater-thriving. But give pupfish any kind of water—fresh, salty, freezing, warm—and they can survive just fine, biologists say. Researchers believe they have this ability because they evolved by only having low-quality water during the Ice Ages.
12. Tasmanian devils have the strongest bite.
Looney Tunes made Taz a lovable cartoon character. But in real life, the devil is anything but. According to a study, it has the strongest bite on Earth. Although these animals weigh just 20 pounds on average, they can exert up to 94 pounds of pressure, for a “Bite Force Quotient” of 181. That’s nearly twice as strong as a hyena and some 60 points higher than a lion.
13. Koalas have human-like fingerprints.
In 1996, a team of anatomists at the University of Adelaide in Australia discovered that koala and human fingerprints can easily be mistaken for one another, likely due to the fact that koalas are ancestors of primates.
14. Male seahorses get pregnant and give birth.
You read that right. Male seahorses have pouches on their stomachs for carrying babies—as many as 2,000 at a time. The female deposits her eggs in the male's pouch, which results in him carrying a pregnancy that lasts from 10 to 25 days (depending on the species), and ultimately giving birth.
GENDER EQUALITY WORKED RIGHT!
wanna see how??
15.Arabian camels drink a ton of water.
Camels live in one of the aridest environments on Earth, adapted to travel great lengths through deserts. That means they’ve become masters at remaining hydrated with limited water resources. When they do drink water, they’re capable of guzzling 30 gallons in under 15 minutes.
WAIT! DOES THE ARABIAN CARAVAN MUSIC STARTS PLAYING IN THE BACKGROUND WHEN YOU HEAR OR TALK ABOUT CAMELS? OR IS IT JUST ME????
Now that I've reminded you of the Arabian caravan music,
this is my most favorite number>>> https://youtu.be/hkKeIHJMBpU
