-Elephants can’t jump.
-Starfish don’t brains.
-Cheetahs are almost literally giant housecats: they purr, they meow, they don’t attack humans and are surprisingly easy to tame.
Only female ducks can quack.
Cheetah’s went through a genetic bottleneck somewhere between ten and twelve thousand years ago. There may have been less than ten left at one point. Dating the Cheetah Genetic Bottleneck
My totally silly theory is that humans in fact where adopting kits at that time and help saved the species, and that’s why they’re so almost domesticated.There is almost no genetic diversity among them. You can skin graft or transplant organs between any two cheetahs without fear of rejection.
Wouldnt that also result in inbreeding or is there enough diversity to this being of no concern?
Yes it has. But species survival is more important.
Could have been the egyptians lol https://egyptfuntours.com/blog/cheetah-in-ancient-egypt/
I never knew for ages they’re part of the house cat branch of the feline family rather than the big cat branch with the lions and tigers, so that explains why they’re just floppy doofuses.
Or how it happens with african tribes; aggressive lions get killed by the whole tribe. And at some point there were almost no cheetah…
Pigs can’t look up. Sharks are older than trees. The duck billed platypus has no nipples; milk just oozes from the skin. All mammals have the same number of cervical vertebrae.
Sharks are as old as fire.
They evolved around 450 million years ago, which is also the time oxygen levels in the atmosphere first got high enough to sustain fire, and land plants appeared that could catch fire.That is an even cooler extension to the sharks are older than trees fact which I enjoy.
It should be just platypus. And ducks are really platypus billed ducks. The platypus had it’s bill first way before ducks came along
At some point a horny platypus fucked a chicken, and invented the duck.
pigs can very obviously look up
Wobats poop cubes.
are their assholes square?
They have weird butt muscles and use the poop as trail markers if I remember rightly.
Asking the important questions.
They also have an armored butt
Always seeing cubist shits in the bush.
Better that than the surrealist ones.
And their primary defence is crushing the skulls of their enemies against the roof of their burrow. Using their butt.
-Starfish don’t brains.
Starfish ALL brain! Decentralized nervous system means it’s brain all the way down, baby!
Starfish don’t brains?
I like that cats know their own names, understand why we’re saying them, yet choose to ignore us on purpose.
We had five cats, and they all knew each other’s names.
No, starfish just.
Wild bees (often solo) will sometimes “bed down” in cactus flowers. The flowers close in the evening providing protection for the sleeping bee.
Opossums are essentially immune to rabies and eat ticks.
Venom too… They hunt snakes
You can see a good portion of the back of many owls’ eyes if you look in their ears.
Penguins have a gland above their eye that converts saltwater into freshwater
Earwigs can fly…
I think I would have been a lot happier if I’d never learned that.
What the fuck?

I had to check that out
What the fuck, indeed!
very cool
Dogs are cool.
The octopus has 9 brains, one central brain (donut shaped, around the esophagus), and one in each of the 8 arms.
And one arm is used especially for octopus sexy time. (hectocotylus)
All that hentai led me to believe otherwise
That’s why that’s just fantasy 😄
A centipede’s ‘fangs’ are actually weird legs that can inject venom, and they’re called toxicognaths (which is one of my favourite words)!
“Bartender! I’ll have a toxicognath, thanks”.
There are 25-million ants for every person on this planet.
I don’t want mine.
Ant-Man summoning all the ants would be way scarier than Spider-Man summoning all the spiders.
Where do I go to claim them?
