-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.
Opossums are essentially immune to rabies and eat ticks.
You can see a good portion of the back of many owls’ eyes if you look in their ears.
Platypuses are one of the few venomous mammals. Males have a spur on their hind legs, which can inject a venom that can make a human sick for several weeks.
Some scorpions can drop their tail if in danger. But afterwards they can’t poop anymore and die of constipation months later.
Elephants think humans are cute
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)
Barnacles have the longest penis relative to body size out of all animals.
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.Could have been the egyptians lol https://egyptfuntours.com/blog/cheetah-in-ancient-egypt/
There is almost no genetic diversity among them. You can skin graft or transplant organs between any two cheetahs without fear of rejection.
-Starfish don’t brains.
Starfish ALL brain! Decentralized nervous system means it’s brain all the way down, baby!
Earwigs can fly…
What the fuck?

I had to check that out
What the fuck, indeed!
Starfish are all head and no limbs. Genetically speaking. https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/starfish-are-heads-just-heads/
Elephants have a prehensile penis that they sometimes use for a fifth leg.
Penguins have a gland above their eye that converts saltwater into freshwater
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
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.
pigs can very obviously look up
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
