Nature & Animals animal fact

[TCE]

Female and male anglerfish exhibit a striking sexual dimorphism, with females being significantly larger and possessing a bioluminescent lure, while males are much smaller and often parasitic, fusing to the female for life to reproduce while the female also feeds the male.

Mantis shrimp possess the most complex eyes in the animal kingdom, featuring 12 to 16 visual pigments, allowing them to perceive a wider range of colors, including ultraviolet and polarized light, than humans. Their eyes are mounted on mobile stalks and can move independently, providing them with exceptional visual capabilities for hunting and communication.

Mantis shrimp punches are incredibly powerful and fast, comparable to a .22 caliber bullet in terms of acceleration and force. They achieve this not with muscle power, but through a spring-loaded mechanism that stores and releases energy with extreme speed. This rapid motion creates a low-pressure zone, generating cavitation bubbles that collapse and produce shock waves, further enhancing the punch's destructive force.

The "immortal jellyfish," Turritopsis dohrnii, can potentially live forever by reversing its life cycle when faced with environmental stress or injury. While theoretically immortal, they can still be killed by predators or disease.

"Killer Whales" Orcas are not whales, but actually dolphins and the largest member of the dolphin family.

A sloth can hold its breath longer than dolphins, up to 40 minutes. An octopus has 3 hearts, a supermodel has none.

Sloths also have 4-chambered stomachs, almost identical to cows!

Cows absolutely stink when you run them over with a train. Another fact .

Man, I used to work the oil patch, fracking in Canada and a lot of the time you'd be working on farmland. And those fucken farmers, what they'd do is drag a bunch of dead cows onto the jobsite whenever they had a chance to do so. So they could claim compensation saying they must have drank some chemicals or whatever. Getting up at 4am in Canadian winter was hard enough, showing up for work and finding yourself staring into a cows ass that'd been eaten out by maggots just made things worse

"Yes, nearly all male cats, including domestic cats and many wild cat species, possess penile spines"

not gonna lie i didnt go there but i had hopes we would touch on this

I got it done for teh bros

Octopuses, at least some species, lay eggs and then defend the eggs from predators and literally don't eat anything. Their hormones or neurotransmitters after laying eggs causes them to do this. They literally starve to death. The the offspring hatch and do their thing. So octopuses don't teach their offspring, unlike other many other animals where young learn from being taught or by imitation.

My cat's breath smells like cat food

They can also detect and directionally pinpoint the electrical signal generated by a shrimp's brain from several yards away

This would be my super power for real
