What animal fact shocks you?

[Taggzer]

Personally my whole world was turned upside down when I found out that male platypus have spikes on their back legs which let out a powerful venom.

I've heard of venomous spiders, snakes and lizards but a platypus? Who designed that, what actually is a platypus? Is it part reptile or something?

You just don't really hear about venomous mammals.

Oh yeh I've known about that since Phineas and Ferb lmao.

I was sorta hoping they'd get into that what with the show putting a huge emphasis on engineering and biology and all that. Probably a funny gag with Doof having him grab the back of his legs and him feeling sick later or something.

Maybe not shocking but definitely interesting…

So cat fur coloring is tied to the X chromosome. This is why calico cats are usually female because they have an orange X and a black X. Any “male” calico is technically intersex due to their coloring being caused by having XXY.

To this day, scientists still do not know how ocean eels reproduce. But they do know that they all migrate in masses to what is to believed to be spawning grounds and return in greater numbers.

One of these spawning grounds is suspected to be the area known as the Bermuda Triangle.

A platypus is like Frankenstein of a beaver, a duck, and whatever venom similar to other animals that have such traits.

What shocked me is clumsy the bold eagles can be, every time they try to land on a branch they hit their heads on the branch! XD

You can find it on Casual Geographics, which shows some facts on animals we never they have or do:

Ducks are a species that evolved around gang r#p@ with males developing cockscrew p@ni%@ and females developing labyrinth like va&$^nas with dead ends to protect against gang r#p@
So technically some cute ducklings you see are actually offspring from that

Water bears, they'll survive just about everything, and can live in your eyebrows.....
