10) Turtles Have Favorite Colors

Turtles rely primarily on sight for finding food, mates, and shelter. In fact, turtles are so dependent on their sight that when they lose it they literally cannot survive. Many animals can get by with an engorged sense of smell or taste, but not the turtle. As such turtles seem to gravitate towards certain colors – such as red, orange and yellow. Mostly they try to eat things this color first, so if you’re in the business of luring turtles maybe you want to try some tomatoes or something similar in color. At any rate, given a choice a turtle will gravitate towards these colors first.

9) Animals Can Commit Suicide


Unfortunately, like us people, some animals just can’t handle life anymore, or so it would seem. There are an incredibly high number of mass animal deaths. Most of the ones we record are believed to be mass suicides, and many date back to the 1800s when people starting wondering why in the hell a bunch of animals were jumping off cliffs. There’s a bridge in Scotland where dogs seem to want to leap from and there are cases of birds committing mass suicide in India. It doesn’t seem to be limited to a certain species of breed.
There have been accounts of squids, shrimps, and whales washing up en masse on shore to die for no reason, cows and sheep who leap from cliffs by the dozens, and many more. Scientists are perplexed, but most believe conditions in the climate or atmosphere play a role in these tragic situations.

Cows Eat Facing the North or South Pole


Speaking of cows, did you know they eat only when facing north or south – always, every, single, damn time. Google Earth has led to many discoveries but none more bizarre perhaps than the realization that cows always face one of the earth’s magnetic poles when they eat. No one really knows why for sure, but like many animals, cows seem to have a magnetic sense of which way is north. When they stand and eat they apparently feel the sense to align their body facing magnetic north or south. There are also accounts of power lines being too close and screwing with this innate sense. No one really knows why, but maybe that’s not the right question. Maybe we should be asking if anyone cares.a

Animals do almost EVERYTHING that humans do...

✖ Homosexuality
✖ Bisexuality
✖ Murder for Fun
✖ Rape
✖ Gang Rape
✖ War
✖ Hold Hostages to compel others to do what they want
Camels have been documented to gang rape and hold hostages. Packs of adolescent males will go out into the desert and find a lone mother and calve and half the pack will hold the baby down while the other half holds the mother down.They will take turns raping her and when she tries to fight back will bite and kick the baby until she submits. She gives in to gang rape to save the life of her offspring. I saw this on Discovery Channel back in the mid 1990's.
Chimpanzees will find a group of fellow chimps and wait until dark then sneak into the other 'camp' and massacre the others then lay out the corpses in a highly ritualistic pattern resembling the Crucifixion.They do this just because they want to kill.There is no reason for it...Be it for food, land, mates... There is no reason other than wanting to commit war.This was on National Geographic Explorer's episode "Chimps on the Edge". It also shows them making little "Spears" which they use to hunt animals for meat.
Dolphins,Killer Whales,Seagulls, Fruit Flies, Dogs, Sheep...There are THOUSANDS of documented cases of Animal Homosexuality, Bisexuality,Sex just for Pleasure and not Reproduction.
I AM NOT PERSONIFYING THEM.
Animals may be conscious but most are far from sentient or sapient.
Animals may not be able to form higher thoughts but basic emotions are real in any animal that is conscious

7) Flamingos Eat Upside Down

As if being a giant orange or pink bird wasn’t cruel enough. Flamingos, those wonderfully long-necked birds can only eat when their head is upside down. Why? Who the hell knows. Perhaps it was a mean joke because having an obnoxiously long neck and legs doesn’t make one self-conscious enough, we might as well make them eat with their face upside down. At any rate, it seems physically impossible for a flamingo to eat awith its head right side up. No word yet on if some brave scientist has funded a grant to strap these creatures down and force-feed them to see if their biology works when “upright.”

Wen de start predictin nairabet n merrybet accurately, pls lemme knw. My dog ricky go start to work 4 all d fud wen she de chop since...

I am quietly waitin 4 d premiership season to start.

All agbo guys in d huz I hail una.

6) Crocodiles Eat Stones

At least we can explain this oral fixation. Crocodiles will routinely eat stones, but they at least have a very good reason – it helps them swim. While a crocodile stomach can break down a hearty turtle shell, the acid isn’t quite strong enough to destroy stone.  Some crocodiles will swallow stones by accident, but most do it because it gives them ballast which helps when they submerge themselves. As if being a fearsome meat-eating machine isn’t enough, we now have to worry about these beasts figuring out better ways to swim? It’s only taken a few million years to perfect this tactic, let’s hope it takes that long for them to figure out how to drive a car.

5) Female Ferrets Are Literally Dying to Mate

Dating is difficult, but for the ferret it’s a life-altering experience. Female ferrets that go into heat and don’t find a mate are so traumatized by the rejection (or so we assume) that they just up and die. That’s right, if the ferret doesn’t get herself laid she just keels over and calls it quits. Talk about pressure to perform. On the plus side, if you’re a male ferret out on the town for the night the odds of you going home alone are ridiculously low.

I love nature!

Amazing!!! More pls

4) There Exist Immortal Jellyfish


Imagine living in a world where you grow up and reach sexual maturity. Eager for a little fun you decide you’re not quite ready for a hectic life of online dating, expensive dinners and unfulfilled sexual promises so you organically modify your body type and revert back to being a Lego-eating toddler. Hard to believe? Well there’s a species of jellyfish called the Turritopsis Nutricula that can do just that. With just a bit of transdifferentiation this wondrous creature can turn back time – making it essentially immortal. Seems like a pretty cool gig.

3) Dolphins’ Brains Work While They Sleep

Again, at least this one makes some sense. When a dolphin sleeps, apparently only half its brain sleeps with it. So what’s the other half doing? Actually something very useful it seems. No, it’s not figuring out the mysteries of organic chemistry or plotting some awful retribution on human beings for polluting the ocean – it makes sure the dolphin comes up for air while it sleeps so it doesn’t drown. That’s not only pretty useful, but also badass. “Hold on, I’ll just take a nap, don’t worry my brain won’t let me drown!” said every dolphin everywhere.  It’s like if you got up at 2 AM and made a McDonalds run because your body was demanding food, but never woke up.

2) Horned Lizards Can Squirt Blood From Their Eyes

Here’s a fun defense mechanism. Horned lizards, when threatened, increase the blood flow to their eyes and shoot a stream of blood out of their eye sockets at their enemies. Not only is this gross, but it’s also highly effective. Oddly enough the blood isn’t poisonous or deadly, it’s just alarming and confusing as hell. Which is totally understandable because which one of us wouldn’t be shocked if a five-foot stream of blood shot out of someone’s eye socket at us! It’s utterly spectacular, and seems to work very well. Let’s just hope we humans don’t figure this one out, because we’re gross enough as it is.

1) Tarantulas Can Throw Their Hair


Apparently being a scary-ass spider isn’t enough. While we don’t doubt that even the tarantula has enemies, it’s funny to think that this large, creepy arachnid would need anything more than a stern look to ward off enemies, but apparently it does. When some other animal is brave enough to come after this large hairy spider it does the most logical thing possible – it tears the hairs off its own legs and hurls them at its attacker.  And it works. The hair is relatively sticky and causes problems for those trying to eat this beastly-looking spider, especially if it gets in their eyes. While most humans seem to be deathly afraid of spiders, the tarantula is actually rather defenseless and dies easily, especially if knocked from a high perch. We guess this hair tossing helps, since the species has lived on, athough it seems relatively ineffective to us.

Hey, I have hairy legs! I could try this trick

Ishilove:
Adonbeliv this...

believe it ma'am; Homosexuality is rampant in almost all mammalian species... Lower orders seem to opt for being hermaphroditic instead...Earthworms have both sets of sex organs,and are flexible enough to impregnate themselves if nothing better comes along
I know of a dolphin that suddenly decided to stay under water for a very long time...The people who are there were trying to help it up but it refuse,so later it died..
I guess that dolphin is depress for not being in the wild.

So....if life pain them small, dem fit go hug transformer

Oh! I remember a story in the Bible where Jesus cast evil spirits into a herd of pigs and the pigs jumped off a cliff....

Na wa...oh
