It’s mind-blowing to think about the multitude of animals that exist in this world. From the tiny flea to the great blue whale, each animal possesses a unique quality that makes it stand out from the rest. Even if you’re a zoology expert, this list might just surprise you. These are 25 amazing facts you didn’t know about animals. Prepare to be astounded by the resilience, physical abilities, and sheer brilliance of these magnificent creatures.
Housefly
Houseflies don’t allow their short lifespans (14 days) to hinder their musical abilities. They always hum in the key of F.
Ostrich
Ostriches can run faster than horses, and the male ostriches can roar like lions.
Bat
Bats are the only mammals that can fly, but wouldn’t it be awesome if humans could fly too?
Kangaroo
Kangaroos use their tails for balance, so if you lift a kangaroo’s tail off the ground, it can’t hop.
Spider
On average, there are 50,000 spiders per acre in green areas. Bet you’ll think twice before going outside now – unless you’re this guy.
Tiger
Tigers not only have stripes on their fur, they also have them on their skin. No two tigers ever have the same stripes.
Crocodile
Here’s a tidbit that might be useful if you plan on becoming the next Steve Irwin: To escape the grip of a crocodile’s jaw, push your thumb into its eyeball – It will let you go instantly.
Flea
Fleas can jump up to 200 times their height. This is equivalent to a man jumping the Empire State Building in New York.
Elephant
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.
Koala
Koala bears almost exclusively eat only eucalyptus leaves and nothing else.
