Mother hens teach their chicks not to ingest potentially harmful grains, where to obtain food, and how to forage. Chickens also mimic one other's actions; as chicken keepers are well aware, they will all do it if you can get one chicken to do anything you want.

Although there are around 25 billion chickens in the world today, more traditional or "heritage" breeds are increasingly in danger of becoming extinct. This is because industrialized chicken farming (and now factory farming) bred in attributes to improve meat and egg output while paying little attention to retaining the original breed features. It's notfunfun' fact, but it's vital to know.

Although it is not true that all Tigers are nocturnal, they do prefer to conduct the majority of their hunting activities at night. The reason for this is that Tigers prefer to avoid human conflict during the day and patrol their territory at night.

Have you ever wondered or thought why snakes may make you feel uneasy? They don't even have eyelids! As a result, they cannot blink their eyes, and they sleep with their eyes wide open. To protect their eyes, they have a thin membrane linked to each of them instead of eyelids. The membrane is known as a brille, which translates as spectacles in German.

DNA or deoxyribonucleic acid of a species plays an important role in its identity. And in the case of polar bears, scientists have discovered a new innovative technique to find out the DNA of polar bears. They can get to know about the DNA of a polar bear by its footprint on the snow. Isn't this interesting?

Crabs' claws may be able to frighten other species, but if that isn't enough, ghost crabs will snarl at their foes like a dog. Crabs, unlike our canine companions, generate these terrifying noises with fangs placed in their guts. They are part of the stomach's gastric mill machinery, where they rub against one other to grind up food.

To begin, you must first determine the location of an earthworm's front end. The saddle or clitellum, a fleshy ring around its middle that sits closer to its head-end, is the best method to determine. The common earthworm may survive having its tail cut off below the saddle because you'll be missing most of its major organs. Still, it'll never be the same again. So, if at all feasible, use caution when holding your lawn spade.

We, human beings, are generally aware of the 5 senses that we all possess. But have you ever thought about sharks? Sharks have a sixth sense too. The sharks' sixth sense helps them hone in ok prey during the final phase of an attack. On shark's snouts, the ampullae of Lorenzini is found that can sense the electric field emitted by the other animals in the water.

Have you ever thought about how Rhinos communicate? They communicate through honks, sneezes, and poo. During confrontations, Rhinos snort when they are angry, sneezes when there is an alarming sign, screams when scared, and wink when relaxed. It has also been found that rhinos communicate through their urine and poo. The rhinos can smell the urine and poo, and this is the way they recognize each other. This is funny, right?

You might think that only fish have gills, but several species of sea snakes breathe through their skin as well. Hydrophis cyanocinctus, for example, has been discovered to breathe through the top of its own head. It has a small hole and a collection of blood vessels at the top of its head that picks up oxygen from the seawater and sends it to the reptile's brain as it moves underwater.

Everyone who has backyard chickens can verify that their birds recognize them and each member of their family. They can also recognize various animals, such as your dogs and cats. Chickens remember places and various members of their flock, even if they haven't seen them in months.

Cheetahs are carnivores that eat tiny animals that they can readily hunt and kill. According to the San Diego Zoo, this contains smaller antelopes such as Thomson's gazelles and springboks, as well as rabbits, porcupines, and ground-dwelling birds. They consume the meat rapidly before more aggressive predators such as leopards, lions, baboons, jackals, and hyenas arrive and compel them to give it up. Vultures can even chase them away. Cheetahs are swift, but they aren't powerful or aggressive enough to pull their prey a long-distance or protect it from these ferocious competitors. Cheetahs only require water every three to four days.

Those who come into contact with a grizzly bear will undoubtedly want to keep out of reach of the animal's razor-sharp claws. They'll also want to stay clear of the grizzly's mouth since, according to National Geographic, these animals "have a bite-force of over 8,000,000 pascals." This indicates that grizzly bears can shatter a bowling ball between their teeth. Yikes!

A female peacock's crest contains special sensors that allow her to detect vibrations from a distant mate. According to The Atlantic, the feathers are "tuned to vibrate at the same frequencies as a displaying peacock rattles his tail," according to The Atlantic. When a male peacock fans his tail, he shakes it 26 times per second, creating a pressure wave that rattles the female's head in a bid for attention.

Napoleon Bonaparte, the great conqueror, was once assaulted by...bunnies. The emperor had asked for a rabbit hunt for himself and his troops. His chief of staff organized it and had soldiers collect up 3,000 bunnies for the occasion. The hunt was set to begin after the rabbits were freed from their cages. That was the plan, at least! The rabbits, on the other hand, raced toward Bonaparte and his soldiers in a vicious and relentless onslaught. And we were told that Waterloo was the greatest defeat of the conqueror...

Earthworms each has both male and female sex organs, yet they are incapable of self-fertilization. Earthworms spend most of their life underground, where they build intricate burrow networks. They contribute significantly to soil fertility and so play a vital role in gardens and farmland.

This is one of the most fascinating facts about Eagles that we've discovered. The Bible considers these mighty creatures to be a manifestation of kindness and divine power. It is said that having confidence in God allows you to fly like an eagle. Eagles are frequently seen on state flags because they signify courage and independence, as well as incredible power and ability.

Except for humans, these apes live in the jungle, as do all other great apes. The more vigorous the rainforest in that location, the healthier the gorilla population. They not only consume a large portion of its leaves, but their scat also serves as a highly rich fertilizer for the forest floor. Plantlife increases faster in locations where they live than in other areas.

Cats are genetically programmed to be unable to taste sweets. They will most likely nibble on your platter if it contains meat, but they will ignore it if it includes dessert.

They don't have fancy tail feathers because they're born with them. Male peachicks do not begin to grow their showy trains until they are about three years old. In fact, because peachicks are nearly identical to their mothers, it's difficult to tell their sex. The males will begin to change color to their vibrant blue around the age of six months.

This scientist grabbed a young monkey and began raising it with his 10-month-old kid. It outperformed the boy in all academic tests but was unable to learn to talk. The experiment had to be halted because the scientist's kid began to emulate the chimp's conduct. He made monkey noises when he wanted to eat or drink instead of learning a language.

For those who are allergic to cats, be aware that they may also be allergic to you! It's unusual since we bathe more frequently than other species and don't lose as much hair or dead skin, but it does happen.

Wildlife enthusiasts have captured the Australian species Lyrebirds, mimicking other birds and other creatures such as koalas and artificial noises like vehicle alarms and camera shutters.

Greyhound dogs and cheetahs have bus lines named after them, but house cats are just as fast: the typical running feline can reach speeds of up to 30 mph. In a school zone, that's enough to obtain a ticket.

Chickens (and all birds) are true dinosaurs since one lineage of dinosaurs survived the cataclysmic extinction 65 million years ago, the birds. Chickens descended from dinosaurs and are the closest surviving related to the mighty Tyrannosaurus rex. On the other hand, Chickens are the most prehistoric and 'dinosaur-like of all of our current birds. You can see a velociraptor just by watching them run and some of the sounds they make (I'm looking at you, broody hen).
