Poisonous birds
The only poisonous birds known are the three species of Pitohui from Papua new Guinea - the Hooded Pitohui Pitohui dichrous the Rusty Pitohui P. ferrugineus and the Variable Pitohui P. kirhocephalus. The Hooded Pitohui is the deadliest. The skin and feathers contain almost the same homobatrachotoxin as the Poison Arrow Frogs.

Highest Flight
Some breeds of vultures can fly at altitudes as high as 36,900 feet.
Mosquitoes do not bite
Mosquitoes do not bite. They stab. A mosquito has no jaws, hence when attacking a victim, it pierces it with its long proboscis and sucks the blood up through it's nasal tube.
Elephant smell
An elephant can smell water three miles away.
Siberian Tiger

Eelphant vs Mouse
A mouse is so small compared to an elephant, that an elephant does not even know that there is a mouse close to it !!
