February is the mating month for gray whales.
Because baby pigs grow so quickly, a succession of 48 little pigs were used in the title role during the filming of the 1995 movie hit "Babe."
Mallard nests are sometimes built at a height of 40 feet above ground. Surprisingly, when leaving their nests for the first time, chicks are very rarely hurt due to falling to the ground.
Fish travel in schools, whales travel in pods or gams.
Because birds carrying messages were often killed in flight by hawks, medieval Arabs made a habit of sending important messages twice.
Many corals receive nourishment from algae which grow inside their tissue.
Flamingoes feel safest when they are crowded together, hundreds in a group.
Because it is continually losing body heat, the shrew must keep moving to stay warm. If inactive for more than a few hours, the animal will lose enough body heat to freeze to death.
Flamingoes live remarkably long lives — up to 80 years.
Because its eyeball is fixed, the whale must move its huge body to shift its line of sight.
Because its tongue is too short for its beak, the toucan must juggle its food before swallowing it.
A snake's stomach is located in the front one-fifth portion of its body.
A South African bullfrog can grow to be 35 inches (90 cm) in length — longer than your arm.
A species of sponge, called the red sponge, can be pushed through a piece of fabric so that it is broken into thousands of tiny pieces. The animal does not die. Rather, all the pieces reassemble until the sponge returns to its original form.
A species of starfish known as the Linckia columbiae can reproduce its entire body — that is, grow back completely — from a single severed pieces less than a half-inch long.
A squirrel has 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 humans.
A stingray never actually sees the food as it eats, since its eyes are on top of its head and its mouth and nostrils are on the bottom.
A tiger's paw prints are called pug marks. A tiger's forefeet have five toes and the hind feet have four toes. All toes have claws. The claws are 80 to 100 mm in length.
A tuna fish can swim 100 miles in a single day
