A-Z of Animal Facts

Axolotls can regenerate any part of their body. The cells, the bones, all brought back from nothingness.

Beaver dams determine the entire landscape. Migration, landslides, all a big furry rodent.

Cats are matriarchs. The queen, the rulers, all female.

Dreamer fish are the blackest in the world. Bioluminescent, otherwise the depth of darkness.

Emu's fought a war. Australia tried, they lost.

Fossa's are cat like carnivores. Devouring lemurs, Madagascar jungle's greatest fear.

Geese have teeth on their tongues. Tomia needles, scarier than a wolf.

Hippos are the deadliest animals in the world. 500 killed each year, Jumanji was onto something.

Indigo snakes are iridescent. Dyrmacron's, lords of the forest.

Jellyfish are immortal. No brain, yet a million year survivor.

Komodo dragons can clone themselves. Female over male, asexual reproduction.

Leatherback turtles are the largest in the world. Scaleless and soft but ruler of the sea.

Mountain goats can climb from birth. Perfectly balanced, superior infants.

Narwhals don't have a horn. Tooth like a sword, unicorn of the seas.

Octopi are interspecies gay. An extra tentacle, sign of fun times ahead.

Platypuses are venomous. A lick from Perry, no more Doofenshmirtz.

Quokka's participate in child sacrifice. Saved from a predator, baby for dinner.

Ravens remember faces. Feed them, return the favor, hurt me, welcome to the Birds.

Swans mate for life. Death, separation, nothing but everlasting love.

Tasmanian devils were real. From lean canine to slobbering cartoon, humans destroyed them.

Uguisu poop is used in face creams. Japanese nightingale, so you get a good night sleep.

Vinegaroon is the not-spider arachnid. Spraying like a skunk, looking like a scorpion, it haunts nightmares.

Wolverines are small but mighty. Eat moose, fend off bears, a warrior of surprising stature.

Xoloitzcuintli is the original dog. Aztec royalty, loyal beloved breed.

Yellow dart frogs are deadliest. 2 inches of gold, 20 grown men dead.

Zebra stripes prevent parasites. A total clash, style saving lives.
