There are about one million different species of animals, birds, insects and fishes in the world. The majority of them can still be found in the world while many of them are endangered or nearing extinction. Here are 10 interesting facts about animals, some which you are familiar with though you may be surprised about a few things and others that you may never have heard about.

1) Panamanian Golden Frog:

An amazing species of frog named Panamanian Golden Frogs do not possess ears, but rather they listen with the help of their lungs (you go fear inner ears now, they must be seeing into the spirit realm also). Yes, those lungs multi-task for them in the most amazing way. These frogs are not the only species with that type of functionality, there are many fish that also hear in the same manner.

2) Groups of Animals:

Did you know that a group of fish is called a school, while a group of owls is called a parliament (Hmm! No wonder witches they use dem well well, to debate over people life).

3) Cows:

A single cow releases vast amount of methane gas on a daily basis. The gas passed by a cow can fill about 400 litre bottles (I wonder why we have not started milking methane in Nigeria, and dem say north no get natural resources) .

4) Black Widow Spider:

The Black Widow, one of the most poisonous spiders (no wonder it is a widow, e don kill all D husbands finish), can spin a web whose silk is the
strongest of all other types of silks in the world. Another interesting fact about them is if a bird eats black widow, it is very much lights out for the bird.

5) Woodpecker:

A woodpecker can peck on wood 20 times per second (their neck nor dey tire?). Their average total pecks are 8,000 to 12,000 a day. A woodpecker was represented successfully by an artist Ben Hardway as fictional Woody Woodpecker.

6) Sharks:

Sharks, one of the largest species of fishes, don’t have bones in their bodies. Their skeleton is made of cartilage (A flexible bone-like strucure like the one man have in their ears and nose). An amazing thing about a Shark’s skeleton is that it can easily be crushed under their own weight while on dry land.

7) Snails:

A species of snails named as Garden Snail have about 14,175 teeth that are located on its tongue. Another cool and interesting fact about
snails is that they can sleep up to 3 years without any break (Well, am not surprised, considering how slow they are, it must take them that long to get enough sleep too).

8 ) Centipede:

Centipedes existed on earth about 400 million years ago. Although centipede means 100 feet, many people have witnessed quite larger centipedes, some of them with over 300 legs.

9) Hyrax:


A Hyrax is a small rabbit liked animal with a weight of about 2 to 5 kg but amazingly this animal is known as the cousin of elephant. Yes guys, its true, this animal is the nearest relative of an elephant (Ehen, even children from thesame parents don't have thesame size)


10) Dodo:

A Dodo, one of the national symbols of Mauritius, is no more in the world as it went extinct in 1681. Although we can see the imaginary shape of Dodo’s in documentaries and featured films, their original shape is stillunknown as it existed before the cameras and there are no complete skeletons found yet.
