Although the Incas brought llamas and alpacas to Machu Picchu, and tourists enjoy taking selfies with llamas today, neither species is native to this region of Peru. Llamas and alpacas prefer elevations of 13,000 feet (4,000 m) or higher. The llamas you see today at Machu Picchu—and even the grass they eat!—were brought in specifically for tourism purposes.

We are well aware of the teeth of the sharks. Sharks have several rows of teeth & have the capability of losing and replacing the teeth so many times in their lifetime. Sharks, as predators play an important role in the health of marine ecosystems- by eating the fishes, sharks maintain the food chain.

There is a peafowl that is completely white. Captive peafowl frequently defies the iridescent trend for all white feathers, thanks to selective breeding. This is known as leucism, and it is caused by a genetic mutation that causes pigmentation loss. These peafowls are frequently mistaken for albino, but animals with leucism retain their normal eye color rather than having red eyes.

They don't have to be slaughtered just to get their feathers. Fortunately, peacocks shed their train every year after mating season, allowing the feathers to be collected and sold without harming the birds. A peacock's average lifespan in the wild is about 20 years. Their beautiful feathers are used for decoration as well as handicrafts.

Elephants, the largest land animals, consists of around 150,000 units of muscle units in their trunk. Trunks of the elephants are considered the most sensitive organ found in any mammal. Asian elephants have been found to pick up a peanut, shell it, blow the shell out and eat the nut. Moreover, Elephants use their trunks to suck the water, and a trunk can contain up to 8 liters of water. Isn't this amazing?

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.

Colored honey can be produced by bees. A biogas plant in France manages waste from a Mars chocolate factory, where M&Ms are manufactured. Beekeepers in the area noticed that their bees were producing honey with "unnatural shades of green and blue." According to a British Beekeepers' Association spokesperson, the coloured honey was caused by bees eating the sugary M&M waste.

The sounds made by a cheetah are not frightening. Cheetahs sound more like a house cat than a lion, which is noted for their fierce roar. They purr and meow. They also chirp and create churring noises. Listen to some of the Toronto Zoo's noisy cheetahs. Lions, tigers, leopards, and jaguars are the four roaring great cats. They can generate their threatening noises because their voice box has a ligament rather than the epihyal bone. Lower noises are produced as the ligament stretches. Cheetahs have a fixed voice box and vocal cords that are split. It permits them to purr but limits the noises they may produce, similar to "little cats."

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...

You probably already knew that Royal Bengal Tigers are the largest of the wild cats, but did you know that male Tigers can weigh up to 300 kilograms? Jeez! That's the equivalent of weighing a group of six average humans. All they have to do is sit on top of you and lick their paws, and you're dead.

These creatures, renowned for their peaceful lifestyle, like going for a swim. Even though a sloth travels 2 meters per minute on land, it can travel 5 times quicker in the water! Because of their sluggish metabolic rate, animals can go for extended periods without breathing.

They have existed since the time of the dinosaurs and may even be older than the dinosaurs. Cockroaches are found all throughout the world, and there are thousands of different species. All cockroach species can evolve in a variety of environments.

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.

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?

Russian scientists disproved the ancient concept of two-color vision. The experiment, which involved detecting full and empty food bowls of various hues, revealed that our pets are just as adept as humans are at recognizing the colors blue and yellow. Dogs, contrary to common perception, do not perceive the world in black and white. They, on the other hand, can't tell the difference between green and red.

Dogs' ears, in addition to being able to move in a variety of ways, can hear considerably higher frequency noises than human ears. In fact, dogs can hear noises that are twice as far away as we can—and it looks that tiny dogs are even better at it. This is due to the fact that the smaller a mammal's head is, the more frequencies it can take up and compare in each ear. That is how they (and us) determine the source of noises.

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.

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.

Tigers are forced into unnatural situations in which they must share or remain in certain areas in a man-made environment; this is when they are referred to as an ambush or streak; even a Tigress with her cubs is referred to as an ambush.

Sharks can be found in all the temperate and tropical oceans except the Mediterranean Sea. And the whale sharks used to migrate thousands of miles to different feeding grounds. But they move very slowly, around 3 miles per hour.

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?

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.

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.
