1. A Cockroach will live nine days without its head, before it starves to death.
2. A chimpanzee can learn to recognize itself in a mirror, but monkeys can’t
3. A rat can last longer without water than a camel can
4. About 10% of the world’s population is left-handed
5. Dolphins sleep with one eye open
6. Snakes have no external ears. Therefore, they do not hear the music of a “snake charmer”. Instead, they are probably responding to the movements of the snake charmer and the flute. However, sound waves may travel through bones in their heads to the middle ear.
7. Many spiders have eight eyes.
8. The tongue of snakes has no taste buds. Instead, the tongue is used to bring smells and tastes into the mouth. Smells and tastes are then detected in two pits, called “Jacobson’s organs”, on the roof of their mouths. Receptors in the pits then transmit smell and taste
9. Birds don’t sweat
10. The highest kangaroo leap recorded is 10 ft and the longest is 42 ft
