Ok so the i got into a discussion this evening with the wife and she came out with
"Flamingos are pink because they eat shrimps" i just had to google it because i thought she had just made it up. Turns out she was right.
I retorted with "well a chicken can randomly change it's sex".
So here it is whats your weird and wonderful fact.
Oh I love this. I had heard that about the flamingos :)
To carry on...kangaroos have 3 vaginas!
Male seahorses give birth and care for the young.
A flock of crows is known as a murder.
Cheetahs are known for their speed which they can maintain for a short period before they start to dangerously overheat.
Although they are fast, their main skill is agility, they can pull turns at speeds that would break human leg bones due to forces involved.
Cheetahs are actually more successful hunters around obstacles like trees than on plains, as they can react and turn so quickly.
They are also very close to being clones, each Cheetah shares a 99.9% genetic makeup with all other Cheetahs, they are that niche in the food chain. This means as their numbers diminish they lack genetic stability to recover.
Polar bears skin is black, their fur is transparent and colourless yet they look white because of sun reflecting from the fur from the air and from the snow.
