The New Guinea Singing Dog’s most unique characteristic is its dramatic ability to vary the pitch of its howl. They do not bark repetitively but have a complex vocal behavior, including yelps, whines, and single-note howls.
The ears of the Asiatic black bears are larger than those of other bear species.
Sharks can travel up to 40 miles per hour.
There are no penguins at the North Pole. In fact, there are no penguins anywhere in the Northern Hemisphere (outside of zoos). All 17 varieties of the bird are found below the equator, primarily in the Antarctica.
The Nile crocodile averages about 45 years in the wild, and may live up to 80 years in captivity.
The Egyptian vulture, a white bird about the size of a raven, throws stones with its beak to open ostrich eggs to eat. This bird is one of the very few animals that, like man, manipulates objects as tools.
Sheep will not drink from running water. Hence, the line in the Twenty-third Psalm: "He leadeth me beside the still waters."
There are no wild deer of any kind in Australia, and the small red deer is the only one found in Africa.
The normal body temperature of the Clydesdale horse is 101 degrees Fahrenheit (38 degrees Celsius).
The electric eel has thousands of electric cells running up and down its tail. Vital body organs, such as the heart, are packed into a small space behind the head. They use their electric sense to "see". Their electric sensors act like radar. They send out weak impulses which bounce off objects.
Since housecats are clean and their coats are dry and glossy, their fur easily becomes charged with electricity. Sparks can be seen if their fur is rubbed in the dark.
There are seven distinctive types of combs on chickens: rose, strawberry, single, cushion, buttercup, pea, and V-shaped.
The now-extinct ancestor of the horse, eohippus, had a short neck, a pug muzzle, and stood no higher than a medium-sized dog.

The electric eel is the most shocking animal on Earth — no other animal packs such a big charge. If attacking a large prey, a 9-foot-long eel can discharge about 800 volts. One zap could stun a human. The larger the eel, the bigger the charge.
Since white tigers have pigmented stripes and blue eyes, they are not albinos.
There are some 50 different species of sea snakes, and all of them are venomous. They thrive in abundance along the coast from the Persian Gulf to Japan and around Australia and Melanesia. Their venom is ten times as virulent as that of the cobra. Humans bitten by them have died within two-and-a-half hours.
The once popular dog name “Fido” is from Latin and means “fidelity.”
The electric eel lives in the Amazon River and its tributaries in South America. The rivers churn up a lot of mud and the eels cannot see well in them. Two less powerful electric fish are the electric catfish and ray. Electric rays live in warm ocean water, and they can give off a charge of sufficient force to stun a human. The biggest electric ray, the Atlantic torpedo ray, can weigh 200 pounds.
Sir Walter Raleigh's black greyhound was named Hamlet.
