This Kiwi and Humming bird i still wonder which is truly the only bird that can fly backwards. Back in my secondary school days i picked up Bubble Gum paper(then they use to write questions, then answers inside the gum paper) and i saw the question "the only bird that can fly backwards", they answered Kiwi and since that day I've memorized Kiwi as the answer but like 2 yrs ago i saw somewhere in internet that Humming bird is the answer, i then googgled it and majority of the results are saying Humming bird while a few mentioned Kiwi, since then am still in doubt as in which one is the answer.

Humming bird is the answer no doubt.. The kiwi is flightless

Okoro2015:
Nice Collection.

I disagree on the one that says bats are the only mammals that can fly. Where do you place flying squirell (Oghuru in Igbo Language)?

They don't actually fly, they glide from tree to tree, they can't lift off from the ground.

Read your book olodo Squirrel do not fly but jump from one tree to another

tlaret24:
Sharks are the only animals that never get sick. They are immune to every type of disease including cancer.

Quote:
It is, of course, a devastating myth that sharks don’t get cancer. I say “devastating” because this pernicious myth is part of what fueled a large industry selling shark cartilage, leading to the decimation of shark populations. But sharks do get cancer! It’s unclear how frequently they get cancer; it hasn't been extensively studied, and sharks in the wild who develop cancer are unlikely to survive long. Also, it’s not surprising that sharks can’t be infected with HIV; it’s a virus that infects humans. HIV doesn't infect a lot of other animals, too, including sheep. That sharks can’t be infected with HIV says nothing in particular except that sharks are not human. No big surprise there, for sure. What would be surprising would be if HIV could infect sharks. I’m also not sure what the heck Dr. Velazquez means by saying that sharks have circulating antibodies as immunoglobulin already circulating in their blood. So do humans. Has he ever heard of IgG, for instance?

firetrap: Another interesting fact about sharks is that they never stop swimming from the day they are born till they die. if they stop swimming they drown. ironic isn't it

So, they don't sleep?
