Cinnebuns Posted April 25, 2022 Share Posted April 25, 2022 (edited) I love animals and I love fun facts so animal fun facts are extra exciting. Let's list some! Here's some I remember: There are 650,000 vertebrate species. This includes all mammals, fish, birds, reptiles and amphibians. This only accounts for 3% of all animal species in the entire animal kingdom. The other 97% consists entirely of invertebrates. There are 400,000 beetle species alone! A sloth (I forget which kind, 3 toed maybe? All maybe?) only goes to the bathroom about once a week and loses 30% of its body weight when it does. A blue whale's heart is the size of an elephant. A mantis shrimp can see 12 different colors compared to our 3. Edited April 25, 2022 by Cinnebuns 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Infact at crime scenes there have been times a koala finger print was used before it was recognized to not be human. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nabokovfan87 Posted April 26, 2022 Share Posted April 26, 2022 (edited) Sharks have something like 8-9 senses (it can vary from shark to shark). Great whites have the normal senses, the also sense pressure, EMFs, they have Ampullae of Lorenzini, and their lateral lines. ....and.... Quote Sharks also possess a row of pores around the pectoral fins and gills, known as pit organs. These contain neuromast-like cells that are believed to aid the shark in the detection of temperature changes. https://www.elasmodiver.com/shark_senses.htm Edited April 26, 2022 by nabokovfan87 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
