1.The Super Snap The pistol shrimp has been dubbed the loudest animal in the sea. In order to stun its prey it snaps its claw at supersonic speed. The resulting sound is actually a sonic boom and the shockwave that the snap creates is powerful enough to stun its prey. To make things really mind blowing, the temperatures of the resulting shockwave momentarily gets as hot as the surface of the sun 2.Death circle Army ants are blind and therefore will follow the smell of their neighbor in order to reach the nest. Sometimes the chemical trails of a large group of army ants can get looped around into a circle. The ants will therefore continue walking around and around until they drop dead from exhaustion. 3.Suicidal cows Although scientists have a hard time establishing that animals might be suicidal, recently in Switzerland dozens of cows mysteriously plunged to their deaths over the side of a cliff. 4.Handstands The spotted skunk does handstands to scare off predators. 5.Alcoholic monkeys In St. Kitts, the vervet monkeys developed a taste for alcohol over the course of the past few centuries by eating fermented sugar cane. Recently they even started stealing alcohol from local resorts. Cc:lalasticlala

6. Creating a husband Histiostoma murchiei, a female mite, lays eggs without needing fertilization. When her sons grow up she copulates with them and the sons die shortly thereafter. 7.Fecal attraction Hippos attract their mates by urinating and defecating simultaneously. 8.Animal torture Ichneumon wasps find a victim (usually a caterpillar), inject their eggs into the victim’s body, paralyze the victim, and then eat it while it is still alive. The worst part, however, is that the wasp consumes the fatty deposits and digestive organs first. This keeps the caterpillar alive for as long as possible. 9.Weasel War Dance Ferrets will perform a series of frantic sideways hops whenever they get excited 10.Holding grudges Crows have the ability to remember human faces, and apparently if they don’t like you they won’t forget you either. Scientists who trapped some crows for research made this discovery when the crows would constantly heckle them whenever they walked into the lab. By using masks they came to realize that the crows actually held a grudge against the people who had trapped them. Interestingly enough, the children of the crows would later carry on the same grudge.
