Cats have no ability
to taste sweet things.
A horse can sleep standing up.
Cows have 4 stomachs. Often when
a calf is born the farmer will make it sallow a magnet.
This is to attract the various nails, staples, tacks,
bits of wire, and so on that the cow may ingest while
grazing. When the animal is slaughtered, the butcher will
remove the magnet along with the metallic debris and sell
the mass of iron and steel for scrap.
A squirrel had no color vision;
it sees only in black and white. Every part of its field
of vision, however, is in perfect focus, not just
straight ahead, as with man.
A kangaroo cannot jump if its
tail is lifted off the ground. It needs its tail for
pushing off.
A snake has not ears but its

Flamingos are not naturally pink,
They get their coloration from their food, which are tiny

half omelets!!
A rat can fall from a five-storey

A bird chews with its stomach.
Since most birds do not have teeth, a bird constantly

grind food as it passes through the digestive system.

teeth in their throats!
