Hello animal lovers! Ever heard about an immortal jellyfish? A shark that crawls on sand? Believe me those things exists!
Let's learn about the fantastic animal kingdom a little more.

Hummingbirds beat their wings 60-80 times per second!
It doesn't matter that hummingbirds weigh next to nothing (some less that the weight of a penny) the fact that they have such small wings means they have to work overtime to keep themselves in flight.

Koalas have two genitals for each gender!
It is apparently quite common among marsupials in general. Why would you ever need two? One causes enough trouble as it is, and we can't imagine it actually has any kind of benefit!

At birth, a panda is smaller than a mouse and weights about four ounces.
As if pandas weren't already the most adorable creatures in the world. Though this one comes with the added benefit if not being physically able to bite your head off. Always a good quality when choosing a companion.

The flamingo can only eat when its head is upside-down!
Be grateful we don't eat like this. Imagine having to do headstands at the dinner table every night would be massively inconvenient though it would probably give us all a good arm and shoulder workout.

A female ferret will die if it goes into heat and cannot find a mate!
Question: What's worse than going out on a date with somebody, realizing it's not going to work out, and ending the date by breaking it off with them?
Answer: Being a female ferret in the exact same situation. Poor gals.

The venom of the king cobra is so deadly that just one gram of it is enough to kill a person 150 times over.
This most deadly snake can be found predominantly in forests of southeast Asia, so make sure you keep your eyes peeled for something like a cobra around. Not to mention that they're also long enough and strong enough to constrict their prey! Scary!

The oldest known animal in the world was Ming, the 405 - year old clam, discovered in 2007.
Unbelievable! Ming was discovered off the cost of Iceland, and the growth rings on its shell quickly established it as the oldest known creature in world history. Unfortunately, it had passed away by the time it was discovered. Scientists think that studying Ming could help us understand how some animals live for so long.

There are 1,000,000 ants for every human being in the world.
I couldn't resist pulling out the old calculator for this one. So according to the recent world population estimate, there are approximately 7 quadrillion ( that's 15 zeros! ) ants in the world. So just remember every moment we're alive is a moment the ants have given us.

Dogs have lived with humans for over 14,000 years! 
Dogs are called "Man's Best Friend" for a reason, though we're willing to bet their function in human society has changed quite a bit since then. Most dogs don't really help in hunting anymore; instead they serve as arm candy for the Paris Hiltons of the world. How the mighty have fallen.

Only half of a dolphin's brain sleeps at a time. The other half makes sure it comes up for water so it doesn't drown.
We've heard of sleeping with one eye open, but isn't this a little bit absurd? For real though, this probably would have been a useful skill during college if we could've had half of our brain write a paper while the other half slept.

A pig's orgasm lasts 30 minutes!
They are probably mocked by us more than any other animal. But I am willing to bet that, because of this fact, they don't mind all that much.

A snail can sleep for 3 years at a time!
Which is absolutely unfair. Heck, we get to sleep eight hours a night on weekends! These gastropods need to get a job or something.

Know, Love & Protect Animals. Thanks!
