 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.

 
Powerful ant
The ant can lift 50 times its own weight, can pull 30 times its own weight and always falls over on its right side when intoxicated.

















360 degree vision
The only 2 animals that can see behind itself without turning it's head are the rabbit and the parrot.



 Cat's urine
A cat's urine glows under a black light.












 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
The SIBERIAN TIGER is the largest cat in the world. It weighs up to 300kg (660 lbs) and can eat 27.2 kg (60 lb) of meat at one mealtime. 




 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 !!







 







Owl's weight
If the great horned owl were to be totally stripped of its feathers, the naked bird would weigh less than its feathers.
